>>5563807>He had a competitive match toward the top of the card with the guy who's main eventing against Okada at Dominion.I don't consider NJPW USA shows on the same level as NJPW Japan shows. Only the hardcore Japanese fans will see those shows. Some of the guys on those shows may never make Japan and some of the stuff on these shows may never carry over to the main Japanese snows. It's a lot like Raw and NXT.
>So? Lmao. He might not win it ever, who cares?Clark is 28. He still has a lot of time left. But at best, it's probably going to be a few years before they actually push him.
>You went from complaining about there not being new blood and when that argument got destroyedI consider going on excursions part of the young lion process since those wrestlers still aren't on the main shows full-time. Some people here consider them just regular roster members, even though they aren't regularly working on shows yet.
>you went to whining about new guys not being instantly having a rocket strapped to their ass.Again:
>A lot of the young lions have now been young lions for close to 3 years now. Some of that was due to covid, but I think there was also some mismanagement there. These guys should be midcard guys by now.New Japan doesn't have a ton of time to make these guys into stars. It's going to take 3-5 years. Tana's done by then and it's unknown how much Okada, Naito, Ibushi and Shingo will have by then, so they will be relying more on Khan, Will and Jay White. I think they need more than that.
