Shibata still has a tiny, tiny chance, but unlikely. Guessing they made the final four clear this year to try and sell tickets to the Dome as opposed to the anybody can win aspect of last years. Prefer this years by far booking wise.
At the start of the tournament I figured Nakamura/AJ final, with Nakamura pinning AJ, Okada winning the belt back by year's end, and the battle of Chaos at WrestleKingdom. Am starting to question that, because Tanahashi is still the biggest star and draw, and him winning is just as feasible as anything else (Tanahashi Vs. Styles at WK for the title is quite appetising).
Ishii looked severely hampered in the match with Shibata, understandably so. Staying away from all results until I see the show from this point. Exciting stuff.
