All old guys must be booked like the NJPW Third Generation, never winning anything and doing jobs for anyone that’s not a young lion. Unless you’re the heckin murder grandpa for some reason even though he’s in worse shape than Cozy or Nagata and can’t take bumps properly anymore.
Yeah a company probably needs to invest more in their future than NOAH are right now, but there’s a healthy balance that can be found where you push the old and the younger too. Can you imagine how fucking dire it would be seeing Sugi, Saku, Fujita and Tanaka doing constant jobs for Daiki Inaba? Now that would get me to stop watching.
