There's no way they waited this long to announce Keiji Muto's retirement opponent just to have it be Tetsuya Naito.

The Rock must have declined.

This. Muta needs an opponent who can make him look good and draw the house, only Okada, Tanahashi or Naito would work.

Well, Noah is still the one getting the money out of this. This is a Noah promoted show all the way through. Naito is the guest here.
But yes, it's Naito getting the rub.

Naito is more popular nowadays but acefags will never admit it
Also, Tanahashi already got the Muto rub. Naito never did.

>NOAH's value will plummet after Muto's retirement so they had Kaito shoot on Okada to gain buzz

I was worried about what might happen to Okada if someone shot on him.
He doesn't have the fighting instinct like pre-Tanahashi aces did and is too pampered..
He completely blanked out and didn't know how to properly respond.
If this was Showa or early Heisei, his reputation as a professional wrestler would be in the mud.

I've never seen a work where a wrestler kicked someone as hard as they could in the side of head from a blind spot. That's legit what wrestlers are trained NOT to do. They would never work something like that. There's no way to "safely" take a hard kick to the face you didn't see coming. Okada could have suffered a serious eye injury from that.

The whole match was built from that spot on purpose, with the obvious worked finish having been exactly what it was, and with a promo that perfectly fit it. You got worked, to put it plainly.

the numbers from the big shows may slide down a bit but Noah is doing a lot of interesting things and this boost from Muto is just what they need, they won't suffer from his absence

>pre-Tanahashi aces

Nagata was a fake tough guy that got bitched out in MMA during Inokiism.

Tenzan was a complete slob who couldn't shoot to save his life.

Kojima literally left NJPW because he was scared of ending up like Nagata eventually did, exposed as a fake pro wrestler.

Mutoh and Chono probably knew a few judo tricks and weren't total pushovers like these but were far from being shooters. Also you act like Kaito is this undefeated Maeda style fighter whilst he just sucker kicked some fucker in the head once in his career.

Did you mean that Naito never faced the Great Muta or Mutoh in general? Because if it's the latter they wrestled in 2012.

Ah sorry, I heard the opponent he wanted never faced him and didn't see one in a quick search.
Maybe the original opponent didn't work out
