-This guy is stoked to be watching his first WK live! Well, I’ll *try* to watch live. Putting this out there a couple days earlier than a normal prediction thread to account for the holidays.
-The last four matches have the potential to be an amazing string of professional wrestling contests.
-Rationale for Omega: not wasting his history-making G1 Climax win.
-Rationale for Naito: Big Match Tan is the greatest, but Naito is just on fire.
-Cody is the newest member of the Bullet Club. Wondering if there’s a Cody Coup around the corner?
-I saw O’Reilly’s title win over Cole live and in person. That was one hell of a match. No way this one matches the quality of the previous encounter, but still should be pretty awesome.
-Jado replaces Ishii in the 6-man Gauntlet match, who was added to the Tag Title match. No Ishii kicking the shit out of people takes my anticipation for the Gauntlet match down a notch, but not by much, since my anticipation really centers around Ospreay vs. Ricochet.
-Adding a third team to the Tag Title match took my anticipation down a lot, until I realized there’s like a decade of history between Makabe, Honma, Yano and Ishii. Now I want a straight up tag match without the Guerillas.
-The Tiger Mask special attraction is a tie-in to an anime series. Kota Ibushi and ACH are rumored to be the men under the masks, and that’d be amazing.
-Sadly, no Elgin (recently recovered from injury) on the main card. Have to imagine he takes a spot in the Rumble, and he would be a natural pick to win, if so.

Reposted on: 22.12.23 1726.47 | Okada-Omega: Okada. They built to Okada beating Tanahashi for years and just paid it off last year. Okada needs to have a WK win streak of his own so someone can someday unseat him.
Naito-Tanahashi: Tanahashi. By that same token, since Tanahashi lost last year, and the IC Title has eluded him all 2016 (he was originally supposed to beat Omega for it), he gets it here in maybe the best match on the show.
Shibata vs Goto: Goto. This one's tough, because Shibata just won it back, but I have to think they're moving Shibata up the card at some point. I think it's entirely about whether he signs a new deal since his contract is up in March. I think he loses regardless, though.
KUSHIDA-Takahashi: Takahashi. KUSHIDA can afford to lose this one and Takahashi should go over here.
GoD vs GBH vs Yano/Ishii: Ishii/Yano. They're such a great team that they can get a lot of mileage out of a run with them. Really tired of GoD at the moment.
O'Reilly-Cole: O'Reilly.
Robinson-CODY: CODY.
Kojima/Ricochet/Finlay vs Los Ingobernables vs Bullet Club: Los Ingobernables de Japon.
Bucks vs Roppongi Vice: Young Bucks.
Tiger Mask W vs. Tiger the Dark: Kota Ibushi (Tiger Mask W).
Rumble: Tenzan. They seem to be hinting at him retiring soon, and this could be a great last hurrah.
