1. Whose stipulation does you guys prefer?

   I like how Taichi one goes as every action counts (holding ur opponent while he is on rope break give ur opponent points; being counted for 13 count out of ring before getting in give your opponent 13 points; accumulate those points in 30 mins) so it’s gonna be super fast paced. [Focus can be on throwing your opponent out of the ring to earn point]

   Takagi one of having 3 count followed by 10 counts (for being KO?) is slightly less interesting imo but having added the stipulation to have their whole faction there is a BIG plus point imo. LIJ vs Suzuki-Gun ringside brawl and everything goes ‘chaotic’ sounds fun as well. [Focus is on not being able to get out of the ring totally?]

2. Honestly love the sound of both of these

3. Just voted for Taichi’s. It’s a bummer this isn’t on the finals show though, the TAKATAICHI shows are pretty pricey

4. Direct link to the poll:

5. Since Taichi won KOPW it’s one of the best titles in the company. Shame that his and Shingos reign are not gaining any praise with the general wrestling audience.

6. If I had twitter I’d vote for Taichi’s one. I loved the 30-count match they had earlier in the year.

   Taichi beating Yano in the sumo is comfortably the best thing to happen to the KOPW title. Would be happy for it bounce around between them all year, maybe occasionally introducing Naito, Hiromu, Depsy, all of whom I feel like would have interesting matches.

   I also think it’s another reason it’s unfortunate Ibushi isnt around, this seems like his sort of thing

7. I voted for Taichi’s rules. Shingo’s rules are too convoluted and are going to be too confusing to follow during the match. It also seems like it’ll devolve into a cluster.

8. I hate that they used twitter. I would vote, but fuck the Musk dumpsterfire. For the record, I would vote B.

9. Choice B sounds way more fun.

   Choice A is fine, but I’ve weirdly seen too many Texas Deathmatches this year alone. Mickie James/Deonna Purrazzo, Hangman Page/Lance Archer, etc. Also a pin and then waiting around for 10 seconds is incredibly unsatisfying.

10. I voted for Taichi’s since Shingo’s match is just a lumberjack Texas death match and I can’t remember ever seeing a good lumberjack match.

11. I’d love the emperor’s one but I just wanna see LIJ and SZKG swarm the ring and trade insults at each other.

12. has shingo lost every vote lmfao
