>>4793435you're right up until you're not
Ospreay is based and shouldn't have been forced to vacate
Shingo is massively over. they need to get him back in the main event scene ASAP so his reign doesn't just feel like "he held the belt because Okada was busy".
Okada was injured, but he's healed up now. obviously I don't know if he's 100%, but you watch him now vs last year, he's moving completely differently
>>4794249>month long 50 man tournamentdude, I HATE this format so fucking much, 16 man is perfect. 32 man was way too much, and this 48 man makes me want to blow my brains out. I haven't watched a single match, though I probably will end up going back and watching Okada Despe at some point.
16 man is good because you need to narrow it down and everyone feels like they could potentially win it. You like seeing underdogs go two or three matches deep because it actually means something, now someone can farm young lions and fall guys for three rounds before losing in the first match that actually means something.
not to mention the bracket is fucking retarded. Young Lions get second round byes, while the junior champion gets bounced in the first round? Give up Ishii and Shingo in the first round? Hiromu and SHO, O-Khan and Ibushi? Asinine.
