Bit more c&p'd from myself elsewhere

Any extra "me time" I've had over the last couple days I've spent watching the BOSJ. No time for any sort of reviews. MVP from day 6 and day 7 is Gedo. Yes. vs. PAC is vintage Gedo. Rating: "OKAY!" hehehe. vs. Devitt was lots of fun too, made for a unique layout. BOSJ is the one time of year where he gets to do things, man he even teased a Superfly vs. Devitt, when was the last time we saw that?

Ki was just behind on both nights. He got one of the best matches of day 6 from young Hiromu, that's for sure. Day 6 isn't worth watching really. PAC/KUSHIDA is a huge letdown, the two heavy 6 mans are suck and decent (Nakanishi namedropping Baba/Tsuruta on the Okada/Nakamura double boot ftw!) respectively.

Day 7 however, mmm. Lots of good without any great AKA an easy riding 2 hour show. Though, Jado vs. TAKA (my most anticipated match heading in) did not disappoint. Kobashi/Kensuke has got nothing on the chop battle these two had. Absolute must see undercard classic. ***** KUSHIDA/Liger was really good, Low Ki got a decent match out of Tiger Mask, and as I said above - Gedo vs. PAC was OKAY! Okay... Okay! Okay... okay, okay? Okay bitch, fucking punk, stupid kid, okay! NO FRY BITCH! Okay... PAC sold as good as a flippidy can sell leg work and it's between that and KUSHIDA/Liger for MOTN. Main event six man was super solid itself, however, and Jado/TAKA... oh baby.

tl;dr Day 6/7 Goods: ***1/2-***3/4 = Ki/Hiromu, Jado/TAKA, PAC/Gedo, Devitt/Gedo, KUSHIDA/Liger, Day 7 main event

Spoiler for BOSJ Results:

To be brutally honest, I like Taguchi a bit but not enough to win this tournament. I don't feel he deserves it, he is talented but he doesn't have as much talent as the other guys in this tournament nor the look. I think PAC should've won it personally; having been watching this guy since he was around the UK scene to his debut in DG to now and he's is a beast now. He's come heaps and bounds in so many different aspects, his physique is incredible, he's moved from a spot monkey to a technician with amazing high flying talent and he has charisma and star presence. He in my opinion is definitely one of the top Juniors around now days.

Spoiler for BOSJ:

There's no way they were going to give to anybody but Taguchi. Devitt didn't need to win it, Ki just won the Jr title so losing in the finals naturally sets up a rematch for the title, and Pac isn't with New Japan (or has worked extensively with the company like Ibushi had when he won it last year).

Also, with the BOSJ in recent years, the bookers love to have the guy who lost in the finals the year before win it that year.

Not a Taguchi fan, but not a shock that he won.

The card for NJPW "DOMINION 6.16" and just to be sure people aren't going all madcrazy about me spoiling BOSJ for them I'll put the card in spoiler tag.

Spoiler for Result of BOSJ:

Prince Devitt, KUSHIDA & BUSHI vs. Kota Ibushi , Kenny Omega & Daisuke Sasaki

Yuji Nagata, Wataru Inoue & Captain New Japan vs. Tomohiro Ishii, YOSHI-HASHI & Rocky Romero

IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title, Decision Match: Jushin Thunder Liger & Tiger Mask vs. TAKA Michinoku & Taichi

Karl Anderson & Tama Tonga vs. MVP & Shelton Benjamin

IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Low Ki (c) vs. Ryusuke Taguchi

IWGP Tag Team Title: Toru Yano & Takashi Iizuka (c) vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima

Hirooki Goto & Tetsuya Naito vs. Shinsuke Nakamura & Masato Tanaka

Togi Makabe vs. Minoru Suzuki

IWGP Heavyweight Title: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi

[Seabs]

Card looks crazy strong. Hopefully Devitt and Taguchi aren't injured too bad from the last day of BOSJ. Winner of Makabe/Suzuki will probably face the winner of Okada/Tanahashi.

[Bubz]

Okada/Suzuki would be a match I'd like to see. Not a fan of Makabe at all.

[Zatiel]

The opener for Dominion looks hot as Hell.

[MF83]

Well, since MiSu won at Dontaku and is busy filling in for Takayama and whatnot, Makabe challenging would be awesome. He hasn't had a shot in since his rematch and is still the most over babyface in the company. He's in great shape again, is motivated and has perfected his character. I'm all for it and would be cool with him winning. Though, Naito wants a triple threat title match and that whole angle probably isn't over so we'll see I guess.

[bigbuxxx]

I've not seen any of Makabe's title matches but it still baffles me how he became IWGP champ...he's the opposite of entertaining.
