>>15803806If you'll recall, he did feud with Ishii over the title, so the answer to that is yes.
I would have enjoyed a SANADA feud, but he was ridiculously not over in the US at the time, so the answer to that one is no.
Naito is also a no for the exact reasons you mentioned.
You can't tell me Jay was too new. Dude had already worked a title program with Kenny and he won the title 30 seconds later.
Goto would have worked. Kenny and Goto always had great chemistry.
Fucking honestly, at that time, you could have tuned up Big Little Mike for a title feud if you really wanted to.
Suzuki was a natural pick at the time. Come to think of it, did they ever pay off that interaction at the G1 27 presser? I just looked it up, no they did not. Kenny and Suzuki never even shared a ring outside of that one G1 match and the preview. That is shocking, honestly. I wonder if there was bad blood or something.
I'm trying to remember, I think Taichi's big fan "critical re-evaluation" was underway at this point. If the times line up, Taichi could have been a defense at a C-show.
Point is, you could have done a lot except for run Cody, nevermind run Cody TWICE.
