- Favorite Moment I loved Zenki punching Musket in the back of the knee. It’s the odd, almost cheating tactics Zenki has that keeps me laughing all the time.
- Areas for Improvement Grappleboy! Grappleboy! On a serious note as this is the first show of the new location I’m interested in seeing what gets done differently now that Max is a fully independent federation. Perhaps short segments random backstage events with one or two wrestlers? Either short promos, random encounters with Musket and Daniels? Or even commercials for Shamada Juice?
- Any additional comments? I love the zany intros with the wrestlers being given fans and those fans interacting. Very interested to see if Mountain Bros and Zealots start arm wrestling and fighting like the Zealots and Rebel Heart fans.

I'll have some more specific feedback tomorrow or the next day, but I just wanted to say that I think you have done a great job with taking the characters we have presented and adding life to them at the shows. The fan sections are great and, as mentioned on Twitter, there WILL be (badly made!) Mountain Bros shirts in time for Day 3

So far the creepiness level of the Demon Brigade has gone up. I like how they are slowly warping the fans and the promotion in their image. I'd like to see a group rise up in opposition to them, native or foreign will do.
I don't have any complaints. I've always like the format of the shows and you guys have done an excellent job honing it in the time since I've been gone.

Day 2:
- Favorite Moment GRIM kicking out of two Germans and forcing Nakama to go deep in the well for the Dragon. That is exactly how a high-impact main event is in puro and I think you paid it justice here.
- Areas for Improvement Only think I would like to see is a touch more coding to help guide the eye. For instance, I like seeing the winners clearly, such as with bold text, that kind of thing
- Any additional comments? I appreciate and enjoy how every match was different. The technicians got to do their thing, the second match was more flashy, and the two bruisers got to kick the crap out of each other. Overall, I am impressed by how well the staff is "reading" the handlers. Well done.

Some general notes so far:
--I love the overall atmosphere of the place and like seeing an eclectic collection of characters, hence why I'm trying with Jun Vegas now, hah.
--Mike Musket might be my favorite here. The gimmick is gold and his rps have been fun to read.
--I also agree that so far, it feels like the show writer(s) have a knack for getting down the characters in the Summit. GRIM/Nakama has been my favorite thus far and between the Triangle league (great concept) and his J1 SUMMIT appearances, The Mountain already feels like a big deal along with the already established acts of Musket and the Demon Brigade
--I also also agree that we could use coding a little better to make the reading easier on the eyes.
--Looking forward to day three and seeing the J1 SUMMIT turnout, along with (selfishly) seeing Jun's first appearance.

For the whole tour (I'll put one favorite moment from each day though):
- Favorite Moment -Day 1: Edwards baiting GRIM with a backfist, then cathing GRIM's backfist into an armbar was really cool.
-Day 2: Nakama having to upgrade from German to Dragon Suplex to finish GRIM off.
-Day 3: ZENKI and Kusumoto getting entangled going for rolling koppu kicks at the same time.
-Day 4: GRIM's and Zombie's headbutt battle!
-Day 5: Nakama's Fallaway Slam into the ring post!
- Areas for Improvement Not much really. I agree that a clearer format with headlines (like "Mike Musket vs ZENKI") and result lines so to speak (like "Winner: Mike Musket via Burning Lariat") would be a little easier on the eyes, but that's pretty much it.
- Any additional comments? This has been a great tour so far; some nice stories with not just the tournament itself, but everything surrounding it too. All of the fan interactions have been a highlight of this whole tour and I love how it has built and escalated for each show. Great stuff!
