>>13711794I just found it funny that the fag friend likes him (like the women do) but the porn addict friend doesn't (like the men don't).
>>13711745Yeah, I think there is at least a little bit of heat on that front, part of why he is probably being booked on his losing streak at the moment.
>>13711711The gf says that she feels he has improved since he started working singles matches, is still too raw but there has been development. She thinks that part of the problem is that he (like the rest of the "muh reiwa musketeers") has fans demanding they all be pushed to the moon right now when they really need to slow build over the next couple of years. Because some fans want them pushed to the moon, them losing right now (which is really just them getting top card experience that they clearly still need) is seen as them flopping completely when the fact is that their real push is coming later, not now. Also (and in a peak "woman moment" that at least explains what the salary ladies see in him) "He is just such a good young boy and he is trying his hardest and I really want to cheer him on and watch him grow."
fwiw my take on it is that they tried to give these lads a hard "breakout push" in the hopes that one of them would be lightning in a bottle and then the rest could be cooled down a bit and get time in the background to keep developing, but when none of them were that lightning in a bottle it just left the bookers having to keep giving attention to all four in the hopes that one of them will breakout. At the moment I feel that one is Tsuji, but it also seems that Shota is selling the most merch and we all know that factors into backroom decisions. My personal favourite is Narita, but I think that him getting time to grow in HoT is going to serve him in the long run so I'm happy to see him not get pushed too hard.
