1. I’m hyped for it. Lio is a fantastic worker and a match with Takahashi with the Jr belt on the line will be a show stealer.

   I’m kinda hoping it gets added to Battle in the Valley, that would make the card have 9 matches and 2 pre show matches.

   I loved Hiromu getting all sus and thinking Lio was in the building and running all over the place looking for him.

   Like I said I’m all for Lio getting a chance to wrestle in a place where he is happy and without the backstage drama

2. Man that just screams potential, that matchup. Can’t wait for it!

3. Love it!

4. I honestly can’t get into him as I don’t want to get invested in a storyline only for him to decide to retire again half way through

5. That match is gonna be crazy.

6. Honestly didn’t think Lio would be back so soon but I’m happy to see him back. Would love to see him in BOSJ this year.

7. With the ski mask and industrial background I thought we were dealing with a potential Daryl hostage situation. Thankfully not.

8. Throw in Darby Allin down the road and make it a triple threat

9. I know the internet isn’t high on Lio but his work in Japan has been so incredible. The guy breaks his face in the first minute of a match and proceeds to put on a 10+ minute barn burner.

10. Meh. Leo’s kind of worn out his welcome with me, you know they won’t put the belt on him.
