in hindsight doing this in the G1 and not a big feud at WK was the reason Kenny left

COVID era NJPW was ibushiwinslol, they pushed him to the moon
Kenny would have 100% got his big match if he had stuck around

Yeah because NJPW is known for only doing one match one time in a calendar year.

Kenny had the WOAT iwgp title reign and got exposed hard. In hindsight Okada should’ve beaten him again at Dominion and he should’ve spent the remainder of his time in New Japan doing a tag titles run with Ibushi

Should have gone on a NEVER 6 Man tag title run with him, Ibushi and Marty Scurll.

Okada holding the belt all the way from WK10 until WK13 and then losing it back to Tana would’ve been kino

He was supposed to have Jay White’s spot in the Gold Double Dash. Okada-Naito and Omega-Ibushi was going to be Night One, then Omega-Naito on Night Two

That’s what Meltzer said and he’s full of shit. Naito vs Okada was the biggest story they had. He was just blowing Kenny every chance he could.

Kenny would have obviously dropped the belt to him next WK (or at Dominion) if he had stayed

Only flashes of it come back every now and then in NJPW but it is gone...Naito, Tana, Okada, Ishii, Ibushi and Omega are no longer who they were.

even so, he's still not wrong with Ibushi being pushed from 2020 to 2021

Exactly. The spastics in this thread must've missed Kenny's run through the G1 where every venue was a packed house. 2017-2019 wrestling was peak, WWE sucked and everyone else flourished. Now it's completely toast

>Kenny makes a pact with Ibushi that they will save their next singles match for Wrestle Kingdom
>Kenny abandons Ibushi a mere three months after making this pact
>Ibushi goes full schizo without Kenny around to calm his autism, burns his bridge with New Japan and KWABs his body to the point where they can no longer have a satisfying conclusion to their story
Do you think Kenny regrets forcing Cody into that title defense

No Kenny was a prima donna and thought that KOPW wasn't "big" enough for their match, and they made a promise to only agree to fight 1v1 again on WK

It's funny because NJPW rarely does these gimmicks and the graphic guy has no idea what to do.
It's a triple threat match but looks like a 2 on 1.

This whole feud with Cody, the Bucks, and Kota and Kenny almost made me stop watching.
I liked Kenny and I liked Kota, but what should have just been a feud with those two became 1 big BC Elite circlejerk designed for autistic American New Japan "fans" who started watch around the time NXT got really fucking boring in like about 2018.
