>>19199442There is simply 0 way to rationalize only being down 1k on the year after losing Naito as anything but a win.
You can seethe, you can sputter, you can dribble spit on your lil' bib but it doesn't make it any less true.
The fact that NJPW had as good of a year as it did while not getting behind any new stars, in total rebuilding mode, is good. Tanahashi's retirement is selling extremely well, and Wolf is getting them some national headlines.
Things are unironically looking quite good for NJPW's future.
On top of that, the Humble Wolf just came out as an Ishii/Shibata-head. I'm hyped for the next few years but that's because I'm an actual fan of Japanese wrestling and not some sputtering joshi idolfag like yourself.
