>>8296779Fully agreed. Had he stayed in new japan he probably would have turned face in an angle with Tanahashi against the bullet club and he'd have become at the very least the #2 gaijin in the company, tied with either jay or ospreay depending on the circumstances. He's got it all: handsome, tall, built, more flexible than you might think, wrestles very well, is intense, can cut a promo, and would have to learn from the top guys. His aew character had a lot potential for depth, but unfortunately he gave in to the more self indulgent meltzerfag tendencies of his friends coupled with working for a terrible booker and now he's stuck in a lower realm than the one he should be ruling.
