I also feel like they botched the whole Ibushi thing pretty hard. He felt like a fourth wheel in the whole Double Gold Dash angle, won a G1 and challenged for the IC title (lol), first man to win the G1 twice but lost the briefcase in a convoluted two night WK booking mess, had a pretty good main event with Jay White, then have him become the face of the new belt lineage, gets BTFO with injuries twice.
Granted I don't think he was the most electrifying guy, but it's obvious they wanted to do SOMETHING with him, but everything felt so half hearted.
Also Okada parading the old belt only to throw it away was maybe the most tone deaf plot point I've seen in a wrestling company in years.
