Tana and Naito gonna lose in the first round

Ishii to win.

Round 1

Ishii over Elgin

Robinson over Yujiro

Taichi over Tanahashi (I think Tana won't be able to wrestle so it will be a buy)

Archer over Fale

Ibushi over Yoshi

Naito over Sabre

Yano over Smith (Count out)

Sanada over T


round 2

Robinson over Ishii

Taichi over Archer

Naito over Ibushi

Sanada over Yano

SemiFinals

Robinson over Taichi

Sanada over Naito (Match of the Toury)

Finals

Robinson over Sanada

Robinson will go after Jay White for the US title

They want to Establish The US title as on the same level as the other big 3 belts, so having the winner of this challenge for it is one way to do it. Plus Robinson is really over and they could do a underdog story with this.

I'm pulling for Ishii to win it all.

well got one wrong with iishi and Elgin, but was right with Robinson and Yujiro

1 right 3 wrong fuck

At least my pick to win it all is the one I got right so far

2-4

4-4 well at least I didn't get them all wrong

I guess I will guess round 2 and see what I get right

Robinson over Elgin

Tanahashi over Fale

Ibushi over Saber

Sanada over Yano

My original choice to win it all was eliminated in the first round

Should have just gone with what Meltzer said and picked Ibushi to win it all.

Ishii was my choice.

I'm rooting for Sanada, and have him challenge Goto. But I'm thinking this is Robinson's tournament.

2-0 so far in the 2nd round

3-1 in the second round

now the Semi Finals

Juice over Tana

Sanada over Saber

DAMN IT Tanahashi. Well winner is out. I am still going with Sanada over Saber. And I guess Tanahashi wins the whole thing. Okada and Tana haven't touched in over two years I think so I guess another match between them in coming.

That was a great match between Tanahashi and Robinson. But it looks like my guy Sanada DEFINITELY won't win. (Although I didn't think there was much chance of that in the first place.)

I guess it be proper for okada to get his 11 defense to be at the hand of the current record holder

welp I did terrible in guessing who be in the finals. Neither Juice nor Sanada.

I am picking Tana over Saber tho

Yeah I expect Tana is going to win the finals now too.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Sabre? I lost any sort of a excitement for the final when he beat Sanada. But whatever.

Probably not. Burdur tends to have bad wrestling opinions.

Sabre has that style you either really love it cause he really makes every hold look painful, or you think he is slow and draws out his submissions too long and it gets boring.

Damn.

There's no such thing as a "Bad wrestling opinion", it's all personal preference. I like technical styles, but to me Sabre's matches are drawn out and boring. There's no real tension, or build to a finish.

Saying you don't like a certain wrestler or style is a personal preference. Saying John Cena was never good at wrestling is wrong.

That's fair, though. I haven't seen many Sabre Jr. matches, mostly because I don't watch non-WWE shows very often, but I enjoy him a lot when I do watch them. My first time seeing him was actually live, at a local wrestling company, and I loved the brutality of his submissions.

Honestly I think they could also have saber win it. Have okada deal with a submission specialist to over come

Saber won is challenging for The Heavyweight Title.
