>>16609180Booking mostly failed him after he lost the title, but the guy just can't carry a main event match to save his life. He had a feud with EVIL where his AND Taichi's belts were stolen from them, then one of their stablemates, and the guy gave absolutely fucking NOTHING to it. He didn't give a fuck, he didn't hunt EVIL down or turn his mood up or anything. Even Taichi took more initiative over it. Then he has to main event with Naito at the TOKYO DOME and he doesn't say or do a fucking thing to hold up his end of the build. He wouldn't turn it up, so rightfully he goes down the card.
The more time passes the more obvious that Tsuji should've just beaten him at Dominion. You can have him drop it back and still do the shit that you want with Naito, but he shouldn't have been champion for 8 straight months.
