Maybe Deathmatch can be kind of loving

Back on the wrestling bullshit though, I really do encourage AEW / TV-only wrestling fans to take a gander at an indie show or a show not beholden to timing. Yes the longer matches can be more of a time investment, but there really is a different tone when the wrestlers don’t have to clip through their spots to fit into a 1-2 hour TV slot. Not that one is better than the other for sure, but it’s nice to have the contrast!

Anyways, Takataichimania had some superb matches this year, highly recommend checking it out :”)

Best of the Super Juniors 26 (2019) Predictions

This is the biggest and quite possibly best BOSJ that we have ever seen. 20 competitions from all over the world, and it is impossible to look away this year. I am super excited for the tournament, and it has been killing me all week that I have to wait. So, for the predictions, I will predict who will advance out of each block, along with some runner ups, and who will win the tournament. 

There have been a couple changes to this year’s lineup before we get into things. First off, El Desperado broke his Jaw at TAKA Taichi mania a few days ago and won’t be able to compete. Next, Flip Gordon had some issues with his visa, so he also will have to back out. Those are two big hits to the field this year, but they are being replaced by Ren Narita of the young Lions and DOUKI, a guy on the Japanese and Mexican Indy scenes. I know nothing about him apart from that, but hopefully he is good.

So, for Block A, I think that Shingo Takagi has to get the win coming out of the block. He is undefeated in New Japan so far, and while I don’t think that he will stay that way come the tournament, he is one of the biggest threats in the Block. I picture him strong arming his way through the bracket, beating down anyone in his way. Coming in second and third in that block will probably be Dragon Lee and Taiji Ishimori. The two just came off an intense feud and great match, but I think we need a bit more diversity in the junior scene in the coming months, so Ishimori can’t win here. Lee is the champion, so he will do well, but its doubtful that he will move past the block. 

In the B block, Will Ospreay probably has the most likely chance of winning. He made a heavyweight debut at Wrestle Kingdom, beating Kota Ibushi for the NEVER Openweight Championship. Since then, he has beaten several heavyweights in the New Japan Cup and tag matches, including powerhouses Bad Luck Fale and Jeff Cobb. I just don’t see him losing much to the junior division anymore. This is probably his last BOSJ before he moves up, so he deserves this sendoff. I think second will go to El Phantasmo because he has just debuted, so he should do well, while third will probably be Ryusuke Taguchi because of his recent large wins in the New Japan Cup, and a big main event against Taichi at the TAKATaichiMania show a few days ago.

The finals should be very exciting between Takagi and Ospreay, but Ospreay should win here. Like I said, he is moving to the heavyweights soon. I know people normally put their opponents over when they are on their way out, and Ospreay most likely would lose his title match, but considering that he is moving to the heavyweights, he has to get a big win over the division before he heads up. Should be an awesome match though.

So, those are my predictiosn for BOSJ this year. The loss of Desperado and Flip were painful, but I am excited to see a new face in DOUKI, and young lions are always fun in these tournaments. I still think this will be a great tournament, and although I predicted that Ospreay would win, I will be cheering my boy Bandido on to victory every step of the way. You can do it Bandido, because I believe in you, and I am very important on Tumblr. In my mind.
