Just finished King of Pro Wrestling, first show i watch live since the G1 Climax finals. Great show overall. I like the newest member of Los Ingobernables de Japon, Shingo Takagi. I've seen maybe one match of his, know him more for being involved with an animal cruelty incident in Dragon Gate. He seems cool to me. He's in the Junior Heavyweight division, which he looks too big to be in, but then again, if Zack Sabre Jr can wrestle in the Heavyweight division, then Shingo can go in the Junior Heavyweight division. Plus they could use all the guys they need there. Jericho appeared and attacked EVIL before his match with ZSJ, canceling the match. I liked the Tanahashi vs Jay White match. Good story told. Jay White attacked Tanahashi post match, with Okada running in to save him. Okada and White brawl a bit before Gedo gets involved. Okada punched Gedo and was going to hit Gedo with a chair, but then Jado came out to stop Okada and try to reason with him. The Bullet Club OGs came out and they held Gedo and Jado for Okada to attack. Just as Okada goes to attack Gedo, Tama Tonga hits the cutter on Okada. Jay White, Gedo and Jado are the newest members of Bullet Club OGs. Didn't see that coming. The main event was great. Tanahashi comes out to do the usual Wrestle Kingdom main event staredown. So is Jericho's gimmick Run In Man at this point? Or the Phantom of Wrestling. It seems like his gimmick is just. SURPRISE! I'm here. No build up, just codebreaker, unmask, face off. It's essentially:

What does this seem to say for Okada going forward? Will he need some bruisers in Chaos?

Japanese crowd is turning on the Elite crew it seems like. I thought the three way was awesome but it seems like NJPW is going back to the same-old-same-old with Tanahashi as champion again.

What does this seem to say for Okada going forward? Will he need some bruisers in Chaos? They should have waited for Jay Whtie to join Bullet Club OGs til after Wrestle Kingdom. CHAOS looks to be feuding with Suzukigun, with Ishii going after Minoru Suzuki and Will Ospreay wanting Taichi. Unless Bullet Club is finally ending, both Bullet Club groups are still feuding. They don't need to add anyone to Chaos. I'm guessing how this will go is I wanna say Okada makes some sort of alliance between Chaos and Los Ingobernables de Japon, since they really don't have anyone to feud with, at least how I see it based on the King of Pro Wrestling show being LIDJ vs Chaos. That way the other Chaos group could focus on Suzukigun, and LIDJ have something to do in the meantime (other than EVIL, who's busy with Jericho).

Anyone else frustrated with how the Ibushi/Omega story has been start/stop over the past few months? Gedo seems unable to sequence feuds properly. My current guess for what the WrestleKingdom card is going to be:
El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs Sho and Yoh vs Shingo and BUSHI KUSHIDA vs Taiji Ishimori Minoru Suzuki and Zack Sabre Jr vs EVIL and Sanada Cody, Hangman Page, and Marty Scurll vs Fale, Yujiro Takahashi, and Chase Owens Will Ospreay vs Kota Ibushi Young Bucks vs Guerillas of Destiny Kazuchika Okada vs Jay White Chris Jericho vs Tetsuya Naito Kenny Omega vs Hiroshi Tanahashi
Guessing Yujiro and Chase turn on BC Elite sometime between now and WK.

I love Kevin Kelly and Rocky on commentary. Don’t get me wrong Rocky can do the Chaos/BC stuff a bit too much from time to time but other than that I enjoy them a lot. I do miss Don Callis though.

Poffo is terrible. I like KK and Rocky for road to shows and then KK and Don on the big shows. Callis is really, really, good imo. No real issue with Gillis. I think he could have good chemistry with Callis eventually based on his style and 6 months from now he'll probably be quite a bit better. I don't know how Poffo became an option for them though. They need to shut that down. He's way out of his depth.
Although, I think JR and Barnett are horrendous. So the bar is low for the English commentary. I know that's an AXS problem but I watch it weekly and deal with it.

I’m starting to feel bad for Yujiro and Chase Owens. Those guys have really gotten the short end of the stick in this entire BC/Elite deal. It’s a shame too because Chase Owens was finally growing on me, I thought he really hit his stride teaming with Kenny and Hangman.

the girl/woman in the crowd that would scream out "EVIL" every 10 seconds absolutely ruined jericho/evil for me. i need a rewatch with the sound off after football.

It's interesting that Michael Elgin and Jeff Cobb are a team in the world tag league.

The Golden Lovers/Tana and Will Ospreay match is insane, a must watch for anyone.
