Nakamura will take it this year, almost certainly.
Styles/Okada was just superb, fantastic first day to the tournament. |

Think Bad Luck Fale might be a bigger curveball to win. They've been slowly pushing him as a new star. |

That German from Okada onto Styles is a thing of beauty. I need that played in slow-motion with "Ave Maria" playing.

Way too early for him to win the whole thing, but I certainly expect a big win or two from him. Maybe against Kojima or Tenzan.

ACtually think the Shibata/Nakamura match was even better. Just a great, hard hitting slugfest. |

Shibata gave me the vibe that he could probably legit fuck up anyone he chooses to.

Shibata is tremendous. I predicted a Nakamura/Shibata final last year and was totally wrong, so glad to see they did it this year.
But yeh, Nakamura/Styles final, Shinsuke wins, AJ loses the title back to Okada, Nakamura Vs. Okada at WrestleKingdom is the way to go. I would love a Shibata or Ishii surprise victory too... |

Wait so the last American to win this was Vader in 1989? No way styles wins.
Never followed this because I hate jap shit wrestling but I might give it a go, reading about it sounds interesting. |

Round Robin Style with two blocks. Two points for a win, one point for draw, none for a loss. After they wrestle their block, the winners of the two blocks face each other. Two man sack race held on consecutive Sundays in case of a draw.

How long does it go for? Does each guy face every guy in the block once or twice?

Recent ones have been around 2 weeks. This year's is around 3 weeks probably because of the injuries from last year and more wrestlers being involved.

For those of you who may not want to watch every match on every show, the ones I'd recommend thus far are:
Day 1: *Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs. Tomoaki Honma *Shinsuke Nakamura Vs. Katsuyori Shibata *AJ Styles Vs. Kazuchika Okada Day 2: *Tomohiro Ishii Vs. Satoshi Kojima *Yuji Nagata Vs. Tomoaki Honma |

Something very unique about the Japanese crowds, seems to really build on the big moments.

Can't believe how good Ishii has gotten over the years. Used to avoid his matches.
