LOVE Honma. But I have to say, Nakamura, just on expressions alone, is easily in my top 5. I never really watched much of his work until about 2 years ago. Wow.

God, this card is even worse already. Ishii/Honma will be the main thing worth watching, but that match should have been saved for Wrestle Kingdom. If this is the big victory for Honma, it will be a missed opportunity to do it on the throwaway show before WK. If it's going to lead to a rematch at WK where Honma just barely loses here, it's a bit too much over-exposure this year that will take away from the impact of the WK match. Either way, I hope this is leading to Honma finally getting the NEVER belt, but it's just sad.

Also, not enough Young Lions. Though I imagine one of the teams will end up in the Final.

I get that Takaaki Watanabe is murder on even a Japanese fan trying to chant, but EVIL? Really?
