Added the full schedule images to the OP. Big takeaways for those that follow Gedo booking procedure:
Block A's final day gives us Ishimori/Hiromu and YOH/SHO. No surprise that those are the core four, but Akira facing Austin that day likely means neither will have an appearance in the finals. Block B has Despy basically getting all the main events, so the block is his to lose. Final day main event for the block is Despy/ELP, which seems destined to be the shot caller. Lindaman's final opponent is BUSHI and Yuta's final opponent is TJP, for those curious.

They've realized people figured out the booking strategy so now they mess around with the booking order of the final card day-of. Not saying that you're wrong because those just seem like the obvious choices, but it isn't as blatant as it used to be

Suzuki's time in the US has taken a brief pause, but he has/will face a few hosses that New Japan is keen on: Chris Dickinson, Brody King and Jake Something. Really like this new breed of big dudes that can go in a time of the business shifting.

Lindaman's final opponent is BUSHI and Yuta's final opponent is TJP, for those curious. Probably Hiromu beating Ishimori to spoil a block win and get his title shot booked in and the winner of Sho/Yoh winning the block (remember when Sho seemed can't miss?) Then yeah Despy vs ELP for the b block win. Not too fussed if it's predictable on this one, the fresh match ups carry it for me.

Whats Francesco Akira like? Any key matches I should track down? He had one with Gabriel Kidd that people seemed to like. Tbh you can watch any recent AJPW match with him and get a gist for his style. He’s high flying but not flashy if that makes sense. He sorta wrestles like when Ospreay was a rookie. Cool, will dabble. Poor Kidd though, such a shame he would've probably been in this.

Also, can I say that there is NOTHING in wrestling as hype as the BOSJ theme jingle? I dunno, the MLW Battle Riot theme is a bop.

I'm not gonna lie. As much as I can live with Hiromu being the Okada of the Jr. Division, I just love him so much that I want him holding the actual heavyweight title like Ibushi did.
I just wish so badly I could subscribe right now to see him against Ace Austin and Alex Zayne.

That Ishii/Tana match, dear god. I worry seeing Tomohiro look older these past couple years and he ends up proving me wrong every time. Idk how healthy he'll be in a decade, but hey, fair play to him. He's still awesome.
The Ace just keeps delivering too.

I worry more about his long-term health than I do Ishii. He said in an interview a while ago that he knows he should take time off because his knees are bad but, and I’m paraphrasing here, he basically said “My knees aren’t as bad as Mutoh’s so, I should be okay.” Because that’s reassuring.

Fortunately, his attitude is better than Mutoh’s. Tana will be the Ace for a long time, but can lose left-and-right whenever they need him to. We’re approaching the annual “Tana puts over a wrestler in their G1 debut” match, and this year that debut could be a doozy.

It could be anyone from CM Punk to Josh Alexander. It’s amazing to think a guy mentored by Keiji Mutoh( and whose favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels) is as selfless as Tanahashi is
