2. That’s how we get Yota Tsuji, LFG!

3. Oh boy.

   I can’t watch RevPro because of Gideon (typical heel commentator *and* gets involved illegally in matches) so… should be fun.

4. I mean, with all due respect to Gideon Gray, this is probably the best way to do it. If they’d had him as a mystery until the first night of the tour, considering the names that have been thrown out as speculation… it probably would’ve gone over like a fart in church.

   I also kinda reckon he’s probably just gonna be their go-to job guy now that Henare’s stock has raised.

5. NJPW is BACK.

6. Interesting, so O-khan was able to establish a UE-Legion partnership. Does this mean that Tsuji may join the empire as well?

7. Lmao Gideon is the highlight of every Revpro show so I love this.

   I wonder how often he’s going to show up and if it’s going to lead to some dirty finishes in the United Empire’s matches. Because as far as I’m aware they’ve kept it clean since their inception.

8. I bet Gray is a decoy and there’ll be another new member who has more of a surprise debut.

9. So is Gideon pretty much a heel manager type of guy? I don’t watch Rev Pro so I’m not familiar with him.

10. It feels like United Empire has a million members, and I can still only remember the japan core faction

11. Man always looked like an english version of Dick Togo.

12. It’s Lord Gideon Gray! Cheer, you fools!

13. Poor Coughlin comes back and the photo they use is his jaw evaporating.

14. Is it really a spoiler if it comes from the source?

    Either way, seems weird to just…blurt it out lol.
