5/22 looks decent, Tiger Mask vs Heat could be good. And Ultimo/Danielson/Daniels as a team? Damn.

[Jack_Bauer 0]

Koji Kanemoto v Jushin Lyger probably would have been the usual great match between the two. Danielson/Daniels/Ultimo would have been a team I'd kill to see in ROH.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

5/23 looks pretty bad. I hope New Japan breaks out of this slump soon. It's starting to get to AJPW levels of bad.

Who the hell booked Lyger to lose in 45 seconds?

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

Liger always jobs in under 3 minutes.

[Guest TigerDriver91]

45 seconds is embarassing though

[Guest Black Tiger]

Yeah, but its Lyger, he's put over practically everyone and he's still looked at as the king of the NJ Junior hill. Putting over Taguchi in 45 seconds won't damage him at all.

[Tawren 0]

Holy crap, that is a shocker if I ever saw one. 0:45? Very interesting.

 

Ultimo vs Tiger Mask looks like the only good thing on that card, sadly.

[Guest Shuriken]

Taguchi being the future Ace of the Jr Heavyweight division, they're probably saving THE bigger match between him and Liger for later, instead of hotshotting it in the BOSJ. That's what I'm thinking, at least...

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

4. Best of the Super Jr. - Block A: Ryusuke Taguchi [2] beat Jushin Thunder Liger [0] (0:45) with a dropkick

 

I know :45 is weird and all, but a dropkick?

After a few days of no updates, the BOSJ standings as of today.

 

Block A:

1. Masahito Kakihara [4]

2. American Dragon [4]

3. Koji Kanemoto [4]

4. Jushin Thunder Liger [4]

5. Wataru Inoue [2]

6. Ryusuke Taguchi [2]

7. Big Boss MA-G-MA [2]

8. El Samurai [2]

 

Block B:

1. Ultimo Dragon [8]

2. Tiger Mask [6]

3. Heat [6]

4. Masayuki Naruse [4]

5. Curry Man [1]

6. Garuda [1]

7. Rocky Romero [0]

8. Katsuhiko Nakajima [0]

 

I'm taking either Ultimo Dragon, or Kanemoto to win this one. Heat is also a good possibility. Heat claims he'll be the first IWGP Champion to win the BOSJ, although Lyger did it in 1992, when it was the TOP of Super Junior.

[Guest TigerDriver91]

I would have continued posting results but I see no point in replying to myself.

[SinToxic 0]

Curry Man needs a win or two, a tag champion after all. NJ must really have felt bad for Ultimo, he is going strong beyond his skills.

 

I still got my eyes on Tiger Mask.

[Guest CurryMan]

I would have continued posting results but I see no point in replying to myself.

Pls keep on posting the results, Im really looking forwardd to watching this even though some results seems odd.

Purosesu Fan takes all credit for the results.

[Guest CurryMan]

What is the score right now and how is the bracket thing actually working? The two top people on every bracket will meet in semi-final and later final or?

[Guest Black Tiger]

Not quite like that, the person in first place in each block automatically gets into the finals, and the second and third place wrestlers have their own little semi finals.

 

I posted the current scores a few posts back too.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

Has anyone heard anything about the quality of these matches? I was just wondering because everything has been results and I haven't heard how good the matches actually are....

[SinToxic 0]

Ah damn, Curry was clearly going to take that win, hope he is fine and they won't have to vacate the titles. Why couldn't Magma have gotten injured?

[Guest Black Tiger]

Curry Man's injury is a work, Christopher Daniels is supposed to have a few US Indy bookings coming up, so its an excuse to have him off the NJPW tours. I just hope Dragon and Curry Man retain the titles. I sure as hell don't wanna see Gedo and Jado with them again.

Nice to hear that he is ok even though I would have loved seeing Tiger Mask vs Curry Man. I believe that Curry Man and AmDragon will keep the titles, they need a nice run with them and they are better then Gedo and Jado imho.

[Guest Black Tiger]

Well for the next NJPW show in LA, Curry Man and Dragon are set to defend the titles against the Havanah Pitbulls, and it'd make sense since Daniels and Dragon are both well known in the US. So it looks like good news for the champs.

AmDrag/Curry vs. Pitbulls should be badass....can't wait to see how it turns out.
