These two, who are arguably in one sense the best two wrestlers in the world (top level guys who put on good varied matches, WITH NO FLIPPY SHIT, and have good character work)

despite working for the same fed for years

have never been in a match together.
I don't just mean have never faced each other 1v1. I mean they have never been in any match together with each other, even multiman tags, and across all other promotions not just New Japan. They have never shared a ring with each other. Come to think of it, have you ever even seen them together? Have they ever been in the same place at the same time in public? I put their names into Google Search looking for an image of both of them to make this thread and I couldn't even find one.

They must be deliberately being kept apart for a big match down the line. And I can see it being one of the greatest matches of all time.
