Kane has the GOAT debut followed by a steady drop off with some upticks (2003 for instance) here and there. Naito had the opposite problem kinda, rough start but has steadily gotten better in time. It’s been years since Kane has captured my interest the way Naito does these days, so I gotta roll with Tetsuya Naito on this one

Star ratings? Ratings are subjective, the only ratings that matter are TV ratings and merch sales not workrate:troll:
