A Block immediately jumps out as the more stacked of the two blocks.\u00a0 Current\u00a0IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion\u00a0Dragon Lee<\/strong> headlines alongside former champion\u00a0Taiji Ishimori<\/strong> as well as the debuting\u00a0Jonathan Gresham<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0Shingo Takagi\u00a0<\/strong>is currently unpinned and unsubmitted in New Japan going into this tournament so it will be interesting to see how they book him.\u00a0 Guys like\u00a0Sho\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Titan\u00a0<\/strong>should provide fun matches in the middle of the card and whenever they need to step up to main event while\u00a0Taka Michinoku<\/strong>,\u00a0Tiger Mask,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Yoshinobu Kanemaru\u00a0<\/strong>are likely to play grumpy old veterans.<\/p>\n

Matches To Look Out For:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shingo Takagi vs Sho 5\/13<\/p>\n

Dragon Lee vs Taiji Ishimori 5\/13<\/p>\n

Shingo Takagi vs Dragon Lee 5\/23<\/p>\n

Dragon Lee vs Titan 5\/24<\/p>\n

Jonathan Gresham vs Shingo Takagi 5\/29<\/p>\n

At first glance, this block is relying on\u00a0Will Ospreay\u00a0<\/strong>but a block like this should allow guys like\u00a0Robbie Eagles<\/strong>,\u00a0El Phantasmo\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Bandido\u00a0<\/strong>to really shine.\u00a0 There are also very solid veterans like\u00a0El Desperado\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0BUSHI\u00a0<\/strong>to anchor down a card if needs be.\u00a0\u00a0Ryusuke Taguchi\u00a0<\/strong>if he wants to can be great but will provide comedy relief on undercards too.<\/p>\n

Matches To Look Out For<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will Ospreay vs Robbie Eagles 5\/26<\/p>\n

Will Ospreay vs Bandido 5\/23<\/p>\n

Rocky Romero vs Yoh 5\/22<\/p>\n

El Phantasmo vs Bandido 5\/14<\/p>\n

Bandido vs Flip Gordon 5\/22<\/p>\n

Robbie Eagles vs Bandido 5\/30<\/p>\n
