The top 2 scores in both blocks will face off on September 1st in the finals but, knowing Pro Wrestling NOAH, they’ll give us a head-to-head tiebreaker match to determine the block finals. Hoping Masa Kitamiya or El Hijo del Dr Wagner Jr gets the nod as tourney winner this year but things are certainly looking up for NOAH heading into their round-robin tournament.
