Now that he failed, and Tanahashi is retiring, who else is going to become the face of NJPW? Is there anyone who can save them?

At this rate Umino may end up with a failed ace status like Kaito in NOAH and may need to pivot into a more heelish persona for awhile. I don't really get why Umino didn't do that from the start though. If he was going to have Moxley for a mentor he should've leaned into being a bit rougher and dirtier than a full blown babyface. You could let Yuya or somebody be that.

Gabe Kidd is probably their best wrestler from a marketing perspective but he's a Gaijin so they won't go with him

GAYAEW literally killed all of Professional Wrestling from 2020 to now.

NJPW declined because of AEW buying off their wrestlers from 2020 to now.

ROH died and was brought by GAYAEW and is a joke compared to its days from 2000s to 2010s!

No, he didn't. Carrying around your mentor's jacket and calling yourself Roughneck while you ride around on a white boomercycle and pose for pictures with kids for 10 minutes every time before you get in the ring is not "acting rougher" and "more heelish."

Even after he shaved his head, he could not hold his new stiffer character and just went back to the same old thing with the same old gear.

He was getting booed by the entire audience as a face. Of course he doesn't want to be there.
