Mootinie Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Wrestling Dontaku 2015 Prediction Results Why would you let El Desperado take the pin? He's the thoroughbred between the Suzuki Junior trio! Of all the things to comment on... you choose that. Shibata wins, oh yeah, oh yeah! I sometimes get the impression you read this just for Shibata. You really do capture the spirit of NJPW so well. I'm flattered man, thank you very much. Prediction Results Due to Kenny Omega's unfortunate injury, his match was cancelled. You can read about it here. That means 9 points were up for grabs and... Beejus: 9 The Final Countdown: 9 Crackerjack: 8 Kijar: 7 Hashasheen: 7 Packerman120: 7 Wolfman84: 6 Uncrewed: 6 thecoolestjedi12: 6 For the first time in this diary, two people scored 100% on a show.

The 22nd Best Of Super Juniors tournament commences on the 25th of May from the Sapporo Ice Arena.

With twenty of the finest lightweight talents in the world divided into two blocks, the Best Of The Super Juniors seeks to establish the finest #1 Contender for the injured Kenny Omega's IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.

Uncrewed Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Eita coming into NJPW means one thing..... MILLENIALS FOR EVERY IWGP AND NEVER TITLES () Seriously, that block would make me want to watch NJPW every night even if it's on at 2:00 AM CST. Looking forward to block b!

Hashasheen Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 One more thing to note: Say what you will about Takaaki Watanabe's given name... but it's damn sure better than EVIL. Extra thing to note that wasn't mentioned prior. Bring back NEVER at some point. Maybe as a brand, maybe as a replacement to the weight divisions, maybe as a replacement to the NWA titles, but something. It's too cool a brand not to use. As regarding your previous comment on the Openweight Championship (IWGP International Openweight), I must point out there was once a IWGP U-30 (Under 30s) Openweight championship. If the classification is going to change (personally I'd keep it, and add a NEVER Openweight Tag Team to boot!), then you can use that to bring Tanahashi in briefly to boost that title since he was the last champion.

Mootinie Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Thank you for the comments guys, I'm glad you're all getting very excited. This block A could have some good/great matches. How long is Eita and Jay Lethal around for? I'm not entirely sure yet. My Junior division is in desperate need of new blood though, so there's every chance I could sign three or four based on their performances in this tournament. Your field is already stronger and more diverse than this year's was in real life...and you've only revealed one block. I'm not sure why they don't bring in more international talent to be honest. But that was my hope, to try and make it as exciting for you guys to read and it is for me to write. Thanks for your kind words as always. Say what you will about Takaaki Watanabe's given name... but it's damn sure better than EVIL. No comment. With regards NEVER: having it a secondary brand is impossible. As a touring promotion, my TV is highlights and I can't get a B show. I'd have to run NEVER as NJPW shows and if they don't get at least a B, my popularity takes a hit. I could bring it in as a developmental promotion or something like I did on my last diary though. With regards IWGP International Openweight: I never liked the concept behind the U-30 title, even though it lended itself very well to Tanahashi and the likes. But I'm not sure where I stand on those plans overall just yet, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mootinie Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Best Of The Super Juniors Announcement #2 http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q685/RynWlsn/NJPW%202015/bosj22.png The Best Of The Super Juniors XXII! It was in 1988 that New Japan Pro-Wrestling held the first iteration of this tournament, then named the Top Of The Super Juniors. The first ever IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Shiro Koshinaka defeated Hiroshi Hase in the final but the tournament wouldn't be held again until three years later. Jushin Thunder Liger relinquished the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship so that a new champion could be decided in the 1991 Top Of The Super Juniors. Liger would go on to defeat Negro Casas in the semi-final before losing to Nario Honaga in the final. In 1994, the tournament was renamed to the Best Of The Super Juniors with Jushin Thunder Liger pinning Super Delfin to win his first of only two tournament titles (although he did win TOSJ 1992). Since then, such names as Wild Pegasus (Chris Benoit), Black Tiger II (Eddie Guerrero), Tiger Mask IV, Koji Kanemoto, Kota Ibushi and Prince Devitt have taken home the prestigious trophy and the 27 year legacy that proceeds it. Could one of these following competitors join them?

Lo-Drew Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 BOSJ Day One Predictions Block A Cavernario vs. Yohei Komatsu Comments: Don't see the young lion winning this. Block B El Desperado vs. U-T Comments: As a huge Dragon Gate fan, awesome to see that you're using U-T(who I think is solid.) However he's one of the low end guys of the (in real life) defuncted Millenials and so I'll take El Despy here. Block A Tiger Mask IV vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima Comments: Interesting to see Nakajima in this tourney. Beating TMIV would be a good start. Block B Sho Tanaka vs. Zack Sabre Jr. Comments: Gotta go with ZBJr here. Block A TAKA Michinoku vs. Eita Comments: While U-T is on the low end of the Millenials, his fellow original Millenial friend Eita is on the forefront. I could this going both ways however I'll go with the slight upset and pick El Numero Uno for the win. Block B Ryusuke Taguchi vs. Mascara Dorada Comments: Taguchi is still a "name" in the junior division. Block A Kyle O'Reilly vs. Ricochet Comments: I like to think both of these guys are favorites to get to the finals. Will be interesting to see how things pan out but I'll go with the defending BOSJ champ to start off this campaign with a W. Block B KUSHIDA vs. Bobby Fish Comments: Another favorite to win the tourney. KUSHIDA for the win. Block A Alex Shelley vs. Jay Lethal Comments: Would be a good win for Lethal to start off.
