⚽️ Thanks to the new
@LincolnUnited
manager
@scotthellewell5
for speaking to me.
#TheWhites
fans will be interested to hear what he has to say about the new management team.
🗞️ Summer transfer plans, ambitions, recruitment, Winterton + more…
@LincSport
.
Zack Sabre Jr. vs Shingo Takagi:
World-class! The pinpoint work on Shingo’s neck and arm was superb by ZSJ (Shingo’s selling was fantastic too). Their striking exchanges were hugely exciting! There wasn’t a single second without purpose and energy - amazing.
#njcup
Kazuchika Okada vs Tetsuya Naito:
Another great match between these two! One of the best finishing stretches of the tournament and some very intricate sequences that really speaks to their in-ring chemistry. Not quite as good as their title match, but still bloody good.

📰
@LincSport
Fujinami, CIMA, Lindaman + T-Hawk vs Okada, Tanahashi, Kojima + Tiger Mask:
So much fun! One of those matches you watch with a smile on your face throughout. Fujinami bumped a hell of a lot for a 68year old, but T-Hawk was the brightest star by the end.

Very (very) interesting to see Regan Poole join Portsmouth. Thought he was destined for the Championship, though this still feels like a forward step for him. Even if it’s a smaller one.

Working my way through the

MOTY podcast. The inserts from different people giving they MOTYs were ended by an advert voiced by Jose Mourinho. Sounded like he was going to give his MOTY.
Katsuhiko Nakajima poses with Kongoh for the first time ever. But, it’s a divided Kongoh underneath - Manabu Soya is frustrated with his continual losses, and something (possibly a shared goal of making Noah’s future their way) is drawing Kenoh and Kiyomiya together again
