Bringing in broken down old men who were more famous elsewhere is the NOAH tradition. Be more shocked they didn't make Inamura just instantly roll over and let Naito take the belt.

Naito will always be based, and you can't convince me otherwise. In fact, I think his botches are a work. How do you like them apples?

I'm a Noahlet, I know they have some of their own guys who are good though. Why do they always job out?

NOAH wants to grow and try to be competitive with NJPW so they grab practically any big name they can to try to get eyes on the product. So far though Naito's been the least offensive. Muto could barely move but they put the GHC belt on him and made Kaito job to him a bunch of times before letting Kaito get a win on him. Ibushi's body exploded mid-match which made the most memorable part of the whole event Jake Lee looking a mix of depressed and desperate to get the fuck out of NOAH. Naito and Bushi with the tag belts isn't the worst thing in comparison to those. If Naito has any sense he'll lean heel and let Bushi and Ryusei do most of the work for him. I do think at least the moment though NOAH seems to have some sense to keep the main event scene for their young guys and the veterans who still move fairly well like Kenta but who knows how long that'll last.

When you put it like that, that's fair. I've seen clips of that Ibushi match kek
>they grab practically any big name they can to try to get eyes on the product
I can't really blame them, I checked out the show for Naito. It was alright overall, junior hebbiq was definitely the highlight

The difference is that Mutoh had like a 20 year slide to that physical condition and did a lot of good work on the way down

Naito has hit the wall in like 2-3 years and hit it bad
