Aside from a match or two from a big event here and there, I'm done watching NJPW, House of Torture have won. The end of Resurgance was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Great day of BOSJ from start to finish, from match quality to the crowd. Best one so far!
Hiromu vs SHO could have been like 5 minutes shorter, but it was a fun main event to do in Hiromu's hometown. Murashima going "sorry, I couldn't find the key" TWICE cracked me up.🤣

Dragon dia is very athletic but man he has zeeeero impact to his moves.
Also the top knot has never done more for a radsler than driller

Kevin Knight had the same issue until recently. Cool jumps and all, but lacking in the impact department (also had some of the lightest strikes around). Definitely got better though, it's all clicking now.

Apparently Hechicero vs Connor Mills was really good from the FantasticaMania UK first show. Show had a lot of tech issues so I tuned out this morning and will watch when they reupload it.

Watched Night 5 of the BoSJ and yeah Hiromu vs SHO wasn't it 😅. Other than that solid show with Kevin Knight vs Desperado and Kushida vs Eagles being my 2 favorite matches of the night. Connors vs Fujita wasn't to far behind them.

Thatcher vs Shelley from Thursdays Prestige show was really good. A match full of all kinds of joint locks 😆.

The ending to the main event match for Marigold was sorta botchy, but that was the loudest I've heard a Japanese crowd in quite some time as well.

I'm adult enough to admit that Blake has grown on me over the course of this BOSJ. It's just that very first match was too much "got to get my shit in" for my taste.
I still think he needs a more focused moveset!

the most important thing is that Starboy Charlie should eat the pin

if NOAH can land that then I'm on board

It's going to be Alejandro and you know it 😆. Although I'm guessing Tadasuke will eat the pin in the match against LIJ and maybe NOAH doesn't want 2 of their teams to lose so Charlie would make sense. 🤔
