Kaito Kiyomiya on booting Okada in the face: “I was very emotional. Even before the match started, I felt that I wasn’t being wrestled against, like I didn’t exist. And even after the match started, I was being provoked, so by the time I realized it, my body was moving.”

1. I wonder if they’ll meet in the G1

2. I can’t find confirmation, did they say the top two in each block advances this year in the G1? I remember hearing that but the sites I’ve checked just mention the 4 blocks.

3. Any odds this will make it to a PPV or even next year’s Wrestle Kingdom?

4. Months out and still a top moment of the year.

5. Most intense kick of the year

6. Kiyomiya is definitely facing Okada again in g1

7. This boy’s about to get an ass-whoopin by Okada.

8. He damn sure made the most of that kick anyway. It looked great and had the intended effect, the ensuing brawl/storyline wouldn’t have made sense if it was just a regular, somewhat stiff, kick. I do wonder if it was supposed to bust Okada open though. We all know how Okada feels about bleeding… I wonder if he got any heat for it

9. Still new to NJPW. So Kaito did a shoot kick ? And was that beat down after also shoot-ish?
