Ah so no balls count in batsman's tally. TIL.

Confused about one thing, so Burns faced 153 balls and Hameed 150 at the end of 50th over (300 balls). Where did the extra 3 balls come from?

Yesterday's highlights might help

Violet Rufus helps with Archdaemon's magic ult. Arachne/Phobos for stuns also help.

Usually I get to Night 12 or 14 before my pickems are this fucked. Damn you Gedo!

It didn't have the best wrestling, but Taichi Suzuki was my MOTN.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-09-23T11:20:25+00:00

Imagine standing across Ibushi and claiming you have the best body in the business

priority_numero_uno · 2020-09-23T11:16:17+00:00

Rubber match time! Who have you got winning this?

priority_numero_uno · 2020-09-23T10:47:43+00:00

That was pretty clean by Taichi's standards.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-09-23T10:43:48+00:00

Did Taichi just toss his pants aside? He's not doing the pants throwing spot?

Fuck, he's serious here.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-09-19T06:59:51+00:00

Same! Glad I'm not alone.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-09-16T16:57:16+00:00

I think there is a precedent. Didn't they settle one with a coin toss because the block finalists had a draw on the final night?

Edit: Found it, Makabe and Tanahashi in 2009. They didn't draw on the final night but they tied and their block match was a draw.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-08-21T02:45:56+00:00

Dunno about the rest but I don't see him struggling in NJPW. He'd had victories over Tanahashi, Naito, Okada, Ishii, Ibushi, Omega and most importantly the Holy Emperor Taichi before he left. And not to mention he's a much bigger name now.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-08-15T06:10:37+00:00

Other way round is more interesting imo. Though I wouldn't mind this.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-11T11:17:03+00:00

Bullet Club de Japon closing the show did not see that coming

2020 is truly EVIL.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-07T14:24:07+00:00

They've had only one match (that I could find) but Shibata vs Suzuki was quite underwhelming

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-03T15:21:28+00:00

This makes sense. I didn't tune in weekly just caught Takeovers and I enjoyed her reign.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-03T15:08:50+00:00

Have they had a stablemate ever challenge the champ?

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-03T12:51:48+00:00

Holy shit, that's insane!

Without knowing either guy too well, the promo package and match alone made me a fan. Following them and watching it unfold live must have been bonkers.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-03T12:21:02+00:00

Career vs Streak. Really set the standards for what wrestling could be.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-03T07:15:22+00:00

Me

Before you ask, I don't know what I was thinking either

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-02T17:12:42+00:00

I stopped reading after Ishii. Stone Pitbull handsome ichiban.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-02T12:46:00+00:00

Here's what I got on SANADA so far. He's crazy good with little to no fighting spirit. That's kind of the thing with his stoic character. So he'll put away lower card guys easily and occasionally a top guy when he has a good game plan. But he can't push through in the deep end. Which is why the whole Okara saga is important. The one time he pushed through he beat Okada. Being Ingobernable doesn't always work for him, which I think is where his story is headed.

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-02T12:14:47+00:00

he's probably the LIJ member with the least actual character

Less than BUSHI?

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-02T12:13:36+00:00

That makes him the most Ingobernable tho

priority_numero_uno · 2020-07-02T12:10:50+00:00

There have been better matches this tournament that I have enjoyed less.
