Daaaaaad! Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 He's still under contract to Lucha Underground I think, plus he was confirmed for Best of the Super Juniors too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hasn't Super Juniors finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Good point, Meltzer seemed to think a few months ago that they would overlap but I guess they won't. Perhaps it's more to do with being contracted to NJPW or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingofSports Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hasn't Super Juniors finished? There's a Super J-Cup in Japan this year. Possibly it's that being alluded to. I think it starts in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Is best of the Super Jrs just New Japan talent, or do they have outside talent aswell like the Super J Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted June 20, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2016 The Super J-Cup has significantly more focus on Juniors from all over the place - there'll be entrants from places like Dragon Gate, CMLL, All Japan, ROH and Noah for that one. It's also a straight knockout, unlike the recently finished Best Of The Super Juniors which is round robin and was primarily New Japan talent.

Snitsky's back acne Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 So who do you reckon will be the stand-outs on this then?I reckon Tozawa could do alright for himself and the Full Sail lot will jizz their pants for Ibushi. Not sure how the Yanks will take to the Brit lads - hopefully positively as all 3 are tremendous talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Noam Dar. Look at the boy. He's a beauty. Â Â There's your winner, right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted June 20, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2016 A million bucks? Is that the price you put on a six-pack these days? Aside from the abs he looks horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Full Sail will go apeshit for Zack, he's the darling of the internet so they'll lose it over him by default. Dar and Jack Gallagher I'm not so sure, although Jack is one of my favourite guys to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
