>>15225081I hope not... Oiwa is not even close to that level yet.
>>15225131Agreed. I was more saying that the top row had a better chance of winning than the bottom. I don't want anyone but Soya or Kitamiya winning.
>>15225285>no funakiHe's old, he doesn't have the stamina for a tournament. Save him for special matches.
>no fujitaThis does suck, I absolutely live watching Fujita just potato the fuck out of people.
>no hidekiNOAH doesn't do anything with him, he looks good in AJPW.
>no sugiHe seems to be taking a deliberate back seat this year. He's had maybe 2 or 3 great singles matches all year, and otherwise content to just fade into the background. My favorite of the NOAH originals but my guess is his next big run will be his last before firmly sticking to the midcard.
>no nakajimaWould have been amazing, instead he wants to waste time in GLEAT.
>no kendo "based" kashinShitter, no thanks.
>no tanakaNOAH never does anything with him and he's getting old. Let him enjoy his 30-minute epics in Zero1
>replacements are jr flippy dudes and random nxt guys + mega dimeless jack norrisSadly it seems NOAH is following in NJPW's footsteps where they litter their tournaments with designated "pin-eaters," rather than have every wrestler be a contender. N1 ran circles around G1 the last few years...
I was secretly hoping they might bring in Higuchi for the N1 this year.
