>>15198871The match is happening in Hiroshima, the same place where Jake Lee lost that over the top rope elimination tag match and then kept saying that nothing had been proven without a pinfall or submission. Then Jake Lee lost to Naito in Sapporo, which is pretty much Jake Lee's hometown. Unless NOAH just completely bitches out to NJPW, Jake Lee should be 99% winning this match against Naito.
Another obvious giveaway in A Block is that SANADA should not be losing a singles match against Naito for the third time this year, especially if SANADA is set to win the G1. On the other hand, if SANADA beats Naito then Naito should not make the playoffs at all. Otherwise SANADA would need to beat Naito twice in the same tournament, which should not happen either. So either SANADA vs Naito ends in a draw in the block stage and then SANADA finally beats Naito again in the playoffs; OR Naito is not making the playoffs at all. But Naito not making the playoffs is unlikely because that means there are 3 guys who score more points than him or have a tie breaker over him, excluding Jake Lee. That would need Naito to get a 5-4 record with 4 losses to Jake Lee, SANADA, ZSJ and someone else like EVIL.
Yet another obvious giveaway is the SANADA vs Zack match on the final block night. That match is happening in Niigata which is SANADA's hometown. SANADA is not losing that match. That also means SANADA is guaranteed to make the playoffs. But if Zack loses that match then that means either Zack doesn't make the playoffs at all (unlikely) or Zack and SANADA become A2 and A3 and then SANADA beats Zack twice in a row in the same week to go to the semi-finals (also unlikely). Therefore there is a high possibility that SANADA vs Zack ends up in a draw as well. Of course, another possibility is that SANADA beats Zack, Zack becomes A3, SANADA becomes A1 and then whoever is A2 beats Zack.
I see through you, Gedo.
