Tiger Mask injured, out of Super Jr. tournament

The Super Jr. tournament was shook today by the news that Tiger Mask is off the entire tour with a neck injury suffered at Korakuen. Even worse for fans of the masked hero, whose behaviour of late has been strange to say the least, he is expected to be out for about two months. All of his remaining matches will be cancelled.

PS: Само да поясня, че съм добавил по 2 точки на всеки от групата на Tiger Mask, ако някой случайно следи официалните класации и се чуди какво става.

[ShwN]

А защо Tiger Mask не участва? Контузия ли има или е някаква история?

[Remus]

По-горе нали е написано. Има контузия и ще пропусне два месеца. Всичките му опоненти получават по 2 точки заради отсъствието (освен La Sombra, който си ги спечели по трудния начин).

Доста яко се развива турнето. Сериозно нямам идея кой ще стигне финала, най-вече в А група, където всички стоят наравно. Една победа на Devitt тук щеше да го вкара на по-изгодна позиция, но уви. Яд ме е и за контузията на Fujita “Jr.” Hayato, тоя човек ме радва още откакто го видях на Super Jr Tag турнира. Дано се оправи преди края, защото много ми се иска да го видя заедно с Omega/Kanemoto на финалите. От другата група се надяваям на Devitt и Richards, но очаквам да са Devitt/Richards и Liger/Ibushi. Можеше и La Sobra да се класира и да е още по-многонационален финал, но май вече си изгърмя шансовете да го стигне.

Блок А е почти оформен, само мачът между Richards и Ibushi утре ще реши кой ще иде на финалите. Засега Devitt, Richards и Ibushi са с еднакъв брой точки, но загубата на Devitt от Ibushi го поставя под него, а загубата на Richards от Devitt – зад Devitt. Така че ако Richards победи утре, той и Ibushi отиват на финал, а ако Ibushi победи – отива заедно с Devitt.

Блок Б пък е сега в състоянието на Блок А преди няколко дни. Доста хора са с еднакъв брой точки. Утре ще има Kanemoto/Taguchi, AKIRA/Omega и Ishimori/Hayato. Нямам идея дали Hayato ще се върне за шоуто, но във всеки случай шансовете му отлетяха с контузията. Главните трима, около които се върти сега финала са Kanemoto, Omega и Ishimori, всеки от които обаче има победа над всеки от другите и класирането става сложно. Taguchi може да се окаже изненадата на вечерта, но само ако Hayato по някакво чудо се върне и победи Ishimori. Винаги го има и варианта Kanemoto/Taguchi да свършат наравно, а другите да спечелят, де, но това е long shot. Изобщо, страшно интересен се очертава утрешния ден.

1. Best of the Super Jr. - Semi Final: Kota Ibushi vs. Ryusuke Taguchi

2. Best of the Super Jr. - Semi Final: Taiji Ishimori vs. Prince Devitt

3. Best of the Super Jr. – Final:

Силно се надявам за финал да гледаме Apollo 55 и Devitt най-накрая да спечели един турнир, вместо все да достига финалите и да губи точно на последната обиколка.

Devitt, just like Makabe before him, destroys the curse of “second place” by finally reaching the next level, wins over NOAH’s Taiji Ishimori and then DDT’s Kota Ibushi in an exciting final giving him his first Best of the Super Jr. tournament win. Devitt will re-challenge Marufuji for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title in the near future.

Yano replaced Gedo in the second match and squashed KUSHIDA, then Gedo (in a sling, unknown if the injury is real or not yet) rubbed salt into the wounds by taunting KUSHIDA.
