Sugiura actually did quite well attendance wise, had great matches and was MVP but then they yanked the title off him because he didn't do miracle 2005 numbers and didn't put it on him again until they made him a traitor which left a bad taste in everyone's mouth because he was the only man that could rival Marufuji's loyalty to the company and they went for a cheap subversion that didn't work. KENTA got it way too late after more than a decade as a junior and Marufuji got his long reign when everyone left.
