2022 NJPW Best of Super Juniors 29 -- After Night #6

Travel day, then three shows in a row in Tokyo at Korakuen. Double block shows from this point out, no filler. Hyped for Despy vs. Lindaman. Connors vs. Akira should be great, ditto for Ace Austin vs. Ishimori.

I could see Connors winning out from this point, the 6-3 boomerang. Hiromu vs. Ishimori on May 31 seems even more likely to decide A Block than it did when the tournament was unveiled.

Imagine if fans finally are allowed to boo/cheer again in time for the Budokan show. I wonder how the Japanese crowds will react initially when the ban is lifted. Especially if the final is something like Hiromu vs. ELP, chanting/booing would be really helpful.
