    The Jungle Boy vs Douki match was such a waste of how talented Douki actually is, they just buried the guy and even the crowd could feel it.

    I don’t know how they decided Jungle Boy gets Sanada at Forbidden Door, and Adam Cole is getting Filthy Tom Lawlor (as much as I enjoy filthy). Feels like someone swapped their places around just to troll.

        He’s pretty frequently featured in NJPW, and part of “Just 5 Guys” - a group that formed out of Minoru Suzuki disbanding his “Suzuki-gun” stable. He’s heavily lucha-influenced, but a roughly 60/40 split between high-flying and submission stuff.

          Thanks for the extra info! I remember hearing about Suzuki-gun disbanding and Just 5 Guys sounded new to me, but I hadn’t put any of that together. Very neat.
