Hirooki Goto getting his overdue title run in a sold out venue is most definitely above guys like Kazuyuki Fujita destroying Nakajima to be GHC champion.
You could at least bring up the tease of Nagata getting a title shot for no reason.

His popularity with the native fans, while real, was not something the company could use to propel itself forward. They have other guys both domestic and foreign that have a stronger connection with the crowd. ZSJ got his "thank you for staying" run and now can return to being a great wrestler that hovers in the midcard.

He's neither falling into full KWAB territory like SANADA or becoming a 4-time champion, just somewhere in the middle where he remains highly credible. I believe he'll go after the Tag or Global title next and produce great stuff.

AEW raided the whole of NJPW's main event scene, so they've had to build up some previous upper mid carder to be the gatekeepers that the young generation have to beat. The did it with SANADA, then Zack and now Goto. So when a young guy beats them now, they are beating a former World Champ, which means more than "just" beating an upper midcarder

I think if Umino goes far in this tournament it would be a mistake. This is a chance to break him down and start a new path that will more beneficial for everyone in the future. A problem I've seen with New Japan is them not committing in instances like this. Balloon Okada and post-Sakura Genesis 2017 KUSHITA should have really suffered more and came back stronger. Instead Okada barely lost and KUSHIDA was winning belts overseas like nothing was wrong.

I don’t hate HOT because I understand their role but they’re beyond tired at this point. They desperately need to find something new for Evil, Sho and Narita to do. Dick Togo can do whatever he does backstage Kanemaru can get used for tournies since he’s an agent and no one cares about Yujiro.

If this doesn't sound like an issue then no wonder it took them 3 years to come up with a good angle, even when it's just rehashing NWO Japan.

If New Japan were in a better position like in the prime Okada days Finlay would be a safe solid bet to win the Cup, just like with ZSJ's first win or whenever they gave Fale the gaijin monster filler defense role. With Goto I can see them wanting to do it, but I don't know if it'd actually work out well.

Cemented him as an unkillable wall after Nakajima had heem'd the entire division. Made it a huge deal when Kaito successfully defended against him later the same year

Glad they can put a upstart over like that. Needed that. Stes him up great to get a defence on fucking Masato Tanaka
>Made it a huge deal when Kaito successfully defended against him later the same year
When he kicked out at 3.05 to a mid reaction, sold nothing and walked out with no help while Kaito laid dead? Yeah got him over huge.

You can like the old man bashing shit just fine, I like it too. Some people simply didn't pretend to not see how fucking grim it looked to have old, immobile Fujita destroy Nakajima for the title just because his old man stiffness looked cool like you do. In the same vein, imagine how grim it could look if Nagata challenging Goto for the title actually manifests, and New Japan is in a way better position youth/talent-wise than NOAH was in 2022.

For real I just hope it's Nagata putting over what Goto did as motivation him to work for a shot at the title again even at his age, but then it never comes. I assumed he'd just be in NJC and lose to a young guy, but nope

i was looking into this the other night actually, so i’ll give you the gist of it
>cima brought a monkey, named it cora and kept it as a pet in dragongate dojo
>several people got “charged” for torturing said monkey in 2009, cima was just charged for not keeping up with exotic pet laws and taking shit care of it. basically they shaved their heads and got suspended/took a pay cut for awhile
>old dirt sheets said shingo was the ringleader behind everything and tozawa participated but they weren’t part of the group that actually got charged. nobody seems to know who the hell was actually involved since some say ryoma posted about the monkey on his blog like a dumbass and got them caught, others say it was yo hey and other conflicting shit
>browsing through shingo’s old blog, he seems to have just had one incident with the monkey and that’s it, he also voluntarily shaved his head after the case came out

tldr shingo did nothing wrong, you can still look at his old blog and see all that for yourself

I really hope they play it with Jinsei being the done with this shit old timer, Kenoh as the seething and frustrating murder ball, Hiromu is the big leaguer desperately trying not to break character and work as the tsukkomi playing off of Kenbai's hyjinx and Kenoh's temper tantrums.

I genuinely think Hiromu does way better in these small indie shows where he can work a more diverse range of character than NJPW lets him work.
