Looks like UE are gearing up for a tag title shot against Bishamon. Also, Naito's win feels like they are going to finally give someone their dream match in the finals.

Today was Naito's best match in this tournament so far, IMO.

That show of respect from Okada to CIMA after the match, and CIMA quickly returning it was such a great moment. Hopefully StrongHearts stick around.
Really excited for Shinto vs Hiromu. Could easily be match of the tournament.

Taichi has been adding Sumo moves to his arsenal.
Needs to gain about 250 pounds first.

Floored that Cobb lost. I was certain this was his time to win it and get a title shot.

Also, it was clear that more than a few people in the crowd just completely ignored the restrictions and were chanting for Naito.

So Ospreay has gone the Memphis route in his feud with the Moxley feud. Saying things that may or may not be true but make it clear that he has a reason to hate him. Even if it's insanely petty.
Now, maybe 20 percent of what he says is true but, it's the old Jerry Jarret philosophy: If A is true, then it won't be too hard to get fans to believe that B, C, and D are true with enough conviction. Even if they aren't.

Noise restrictions have to be ending soon there, everything else has ended there Some capacity restrictions have clearly been lifted. The last Korakuen Hall show seems to be the first one since the pandemic started with 1000+ people in attendance (I believe the maximum capacity was around 750 before that), so it will become increasingly difficult to "control" the public to not react in a verbal way (at least noticeably).

The audience has audibly broke the rules this whole tour, and it’s really led to some cool moments. The Tama/EVIL match was the first time I noticed, and Jado being the one to get that reaction a few times since then is amazing.

Apparently The Factory of AEW showed up at the tapings and offered Karl Fredericks a membership.

While watching Cima/Okada, it really hit me just how much influence the Ultimo Dragon has on professional wrestling in 2022.

The Tama/EVIL match was the first time I noticed, and Jado being the one to get that reaction a few times since then is amazing. Some of the best moments in puro since this whole thing stareted have come from the crowd audibly reacting to something. It makes it much more special when they do. I'm thinking of Mutoh hitting the moonsault on Marufuji at Cyberfight Festival last year after retiring it three years earlier. I was scared the Saitama Super Arena was about to face serious consequences for it. The Tama/EVIL example is a good one. I'd go as far as to say the crowd audibly reacting has helped actually make me interested in a match between Gedo and Jado.

It's only a matter of time until they start standing up and cheering, rules be damned.
