Night 11 Definitely a "middle of the tournament" show. Solid wrestling all around, another really good showing by Lance Archer, but also wrestlers in "preserving their bodies for the final days" mode (except Tana v EVIL, Tanahashi is always preserving his body and still somehow having 4+ star matches, this is no different)

I could probably rec it to new fans just based on the crowd roar. And then you can follow it up by going "This was actually just a strong match, not even a MOTYC" ;) Naito v Yano was fun for what it was.
-
Night 8's solid all around. Ishii/Naito, Mox/Shingo, it's all about what you would expect
-
Night 6 Backstage Comments I really love this format, you don't have to be a good scripted promo to get yourself over
-
Night 5 Prelims Archer vs KENTA I'll watch the rest later

I'm gonna be shocked if A Block makes it to the halfway point of the tournament intact. Ospreay's apparently hurt enough to miss tag matches, Ibushi's still got a hurt ankle from Night 1 and ZSJ had his neck cranked on an Okada Tombstone. NIght 3

Night 1 Ospreay vs Archer (holy shit, Ospreay's gonna have an AJ Styles G1) and Tanahashi vs Okada are the must-watches. ZSJ/Sanada was wonderful for that style, but I don't think it plays well in front of Americans. Ibushi vs KENTA eventually got there, but I felt like Kenta was working sorta-heel in front of a crowd that didn't hate him and in front of a crowd who knew him as Hideo Itami and not KENTA. They didn't react to most of his big moves or spots

What match-ups are you most hyped for? Can't even list'em all. Nevermind the regular 4.5+ star candidates, every match that KENTA, Shingo and Moxley are involved in are going to be interesting as fuck. Shingo in particular is a guy who always has me fucking hyped by the end of his matches. Shingo vs Ishii might be a sneak Strong-Style King's Road classic. (Holy shit Jon Moxley is going to fight Naito) Who wins each block? Ibushi v Jay White. Flip a coin for who wins (I would pick Ibushi, Jay White's got time to round into more of the form they want him to be) Over/Under 12.5 murders witnessed at the hands of Suzuki? I wonder if they're going to run an injury angle with him, like he attacks Okada and causes him to miss a few matches/costs him a tournament in some way.
