#2 Opportunities galore!

Juice Robinson

NJPW is the land of opportunities, despite what a certain blue brand may tell you; this event saw many such opportunists seize the opportunity.

Be it Chucky T constantly teaming with Okada throughout the tour, or the transition of Taichi from the Juniorweight division to the Heavyweight division.

But the biggest story has been that of the ultra-popular Juice Robinson, defeating the 'Tokyo Pimp' Yujiro Takahashi in the first round, going over Elgin in the second but ultimately falling victim to the Ace in the semifinals after a wonderful match.

But that was not all, on the final day he defeated Hirooki Goto which puts him next in the line for a shot at the NEVER Openweight Championship.
