So I'm out of the loop a bit but why is Okada in this? Doesn't the IWGP champ usually sit this tournament out? The tournament was announced as a huge 48 man field (though really 46 as Kota and Tenzan had to drop due to injury) with the singles champions and juniors included. Okada requested Desperado in the first round when this was announced. Which if you are too look up any matches of the tourney, Okada vs Desperado from Night 1 has arguably been the best match so far. Question is what happens if he wins it? If the IWGP champ wins the G1, they pick their opponent for WrestleKingdom. Would it work the same way here if Okada wins here?

Tanahashi is offering his help to G.O.D. Definitely better than Taguchi and Master Wato.

Even the G1 is mostly speculation, as it never happened since the G1 win gave a WK title shot (before it didn't even give a title shot as a prize, it just made too much sense for the winner to challenge for the title).

Tanahashi is offering his help to G.O.D. Watching him sprint to the ring was cringe-inducing. I know his knees are in bad shape but man, I winced with every stride.

Since he's shown back up, I'm hoping Mascara Dorado will be part of the BOSJ

Apparently of all things, Yano is challenging Taichi to a Sumo Match Taichi beat him with the Yokozuna Style Counter Elbow, so that writes itself for the usual KOPW match.

So there's the bad comedy match and segment where audiences can look and go, "Hur Hur! Look how goofy Yano is!" and at the same time still getting wins he doesn't need.

I don't mind since it's not like Taichi has a lack of ability to pull off comedy. His shtick of jumping people by pretending to be an audience member and hiding behind a newspaper remains one of the funniest things I've ever seen in wrestling.
