>>5694869If you go by looks and never watched Tsuji at all, if you didn't know he was Tanahashi's direct protoge, if you didn't realize how many special allowances were made for him to stay at ringside, to be more vocal and supportive and involved in storyline than most Young Lions are... Sure, I might think that. Also, if I hadn't seen Tsuji wrestle, and didn't realize that he has the best babyface fire in Japanese wrestling since Kobashi... then MAYBE I would have the same opinion as you.
Nah, he's definitely going to be a IWGP heavyweight champion. It's a lock baring injury.
