We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you sold out the Dome
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
And all the millions here
They must have sold out the Dome
A long, long time ago
Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

So who's the next Ace bros? Shota Umino, Yota Tsuji or Yuya Uemura? It cannot be Narita, right? I need to know this. It's very important. Tony-sama needs this info to plan his January 2025 signings.

>>13078478 I've thought something similar before, like he bounces around different types of heel personas. One minute he's slow, next he's manic, he's smug and haughty, then he's a douchey chatterbox. Even the way he wrestles is kinda like this, he'll just be plodding along and then out of nowhere he'll quickly start lifting guys and dropping powerbombs out of nowhere (kinda like that though, makes his wrestling feel dangerous).

Quoted By:
>>13078547 I like that he wrestles like that, just as a way to be different from previous leaders
the problem is his character. He can't decide on if he wants to be more stern and menacing or match the manic energy of the rest of them, which he can't do nearly as well as them. He'd be better off being stoic while surrounded by mad dogs, and only very occasionally getting super worked up, but he'd need to not look like a flabby teenager to pull that off more.

There are plenty of names on the card who weren't around/much less relevant even 4 years ago too and BC actually feels like it has purpose for the first time in a long time because it's a bunch of young, hungry Western guys who felt left behind in the dojo system which you could argue has roots in both kayfabe and in real life, especially during the pandemic.
