Watching the Ospreay match now on AXS lol. He's been working ¾ speed for the past year. His WK match against Omega that everybody else loved, felt like they were wrestling in a pool of molasses to me. He was the Japanese John Cena, and still is with him in his twilight hitting the Greatest Hits while putting over other guys. After the four you mentioned, Sanada definitely seems to be the next Rising Star.

Wowzers, really did not think Jay White would win. Ibushi better beat him, I have no interest in more Okada/White matches.
Oh geez, and now White’s attacking Ibushi’s ankle. I dunno, this could be bad.

Are they that nervous about the audience not accepting Ibushi, so they put him against a guy as unpopular as White? Or do they not want BC to go by the wayside because other companies are encroaching on the concept? It would make sense if they were finally felt able to build up Kota. But if Jay White gets the nod, I wouldn't.

They're also afraid to give Naito his moment. Last years Wrestle Kingdom, the story was right there for them. Naito wasn't accepted the first time, he went tranquillo, he won his 2nd G1, the fans were finally behind him to become the top guy. Instead, they had to give Okada the records of longest reigning and most defenses only for Omega to get the title. Then Omega leaves 6 months later. Did they give Naito his moment? Nope, Tanahashi won the G1 to beat Omega, to lose to Jay White to lose to Okada. I've given up on Naito becoming one of the top guys, hopefully Ibushi gets his chance. Jay White should not win.

My gut tells me that White will win and Okada can avenge last years WK loss.

I guess taking the title from White at MSG wasn’t enough?

I well, that's why I don't gamble.
Also, KENTA in BC is something I absolutely love. In the mid 2000 NOAH days, he played such a great cocky prick. I want to see more of that.

I don't much care, now I want to see Shibata beat his ass. That was so exciting to see him go after Kenta.

Happy Ibushi won the G1, i thought his match with Okada was great while his match with White was good, not top 5 match in the tournament but top 10. I was a little surprised Naito lost to White but do have confidence in Gedo on his direction after the loss.

i enjoyed the match with white. like you said, it was a perfectly acceptable match, but not a classic. i thought white wrestled a very logical match, attacking the ankle at all chances. ibushi's selective selling of it was my main disappointment with the match... he sold well in spurts, but when it was time for his big spots, he was running fine on it. i realize selling a leg, as a high spot guy, is incredibly difficult to keep up with, but it was a sticking point to keep it from being a classic, like the last couple g1 finals have been.

I think the story is Kota wants to be in the main event both nights of wrestle kingdom. One for the IC title and one for the World title.

I think the story is Kota wants to be in the main event both nights of wrestle kingdom. One for the IC title and one for the World title. Could be, but that could also have been the story for Naito. Whenever Naito held the title this year, the commentators mentioned he wanted to be the first to simultaneously hold the Heavyweight and IC Title, which was why Naito gave a damn about the IC Title to begin with since Naito viewed the IC Title as part of his past failures before going tranquilo
