>>17009875Sanada's title reign wasn't bad. He was clearly a placeholder champion and wasn't intended to become a new top guy, but he didn't shit the bed at all. He played his role well in the G1, all his defenses had stories and were pretty good except for Jack Perry, and even there they did the right thing and had Sanada take a shit on his head in 10 minutes flat
What went wrong was his post-WK18 booking. The instant Naito rematch was pointless and awful and they completely tossed him aside after that until this bizarre and pointless heel turn
