>>10023869My point is that he needs to have stand out matches that have gone above what he has been able to deliver so far, beyond maybe his match with Ospreay and Juice last year. Nothing from the New Japan Cup was enough in my eyes, even if none of it was bad.
Like, obviously this is subjective, but they've been pushing Tama Tonga for a long time now and I'm just as tired of him now as a singles guy than I was of him when he was a tag guy for half a decade. His momentum started well but he didn't deliver on any big performances and just gave mediocrity every step of the way. I like Finlay more than I ever liked Tama, but something similar to Finlay will happen if he doesn't keep stepping up.
And he needs to get a bit more roided too, but I'm sure that's already happening.
