This is what Suzuki should have done to Okada.

*cries for what might have been*

Wrestling being so predictable with an unbeatable, hand-picked main character is something I really don't like.  I much prefer when wrestling surprises me.

Yeah. There are ways to do that sort of thing so that it's still compelling, but I don't see any indication that Gedo has that ability. It's rare for anyone to have the book for as long as he has, and I really think it'd freshen things up to make a change there but of course I don't expect that will happen unless business falls off.

Oh, yeah, and Kawada tapped out?  

Nah, he was using the figure-four on Misawa's (IIRC, legitimately bad) knee. It didn't end the match, but Misawa dropped his customary stoicism and screamed his fucking head off for the first time ever while Kawada made that face at him, and an AJPW crowd went bonkers for a submission hold for the first time since Misawa beat Jumbo with a facelock seven years prior.
