>>9124328Alex and Ace have had similar bookings and career trajectories in New Japan since. The difference is that Ace gets less dates because of his Impact commitments. At the end of the day, New Japan already has a lot of gaijins and they're not big on Juniors to begin with. I'm still expecting both of them to return in BOSJ and have a lot of shine put on them for that.
Clark genuinely feels like a Junior superstar in the making for me. The booking they're giving him is not at all dissimilar to the booking they're giving Shota, for example.
Francesco Akira was actually less popular with the Japs than Wheeler Yuta, in my opinion, which makes his big comeback all the better. TJP is a great partner that has helped him out a ton.
