Exactly, his gimmick is over and part of his gimmick that resonates with Japanese audiences is that he's raging against a perceived glass ceiling in his workplace. He comes to the ring in a suit like every Satoshi Salaryman who came to the show straight from his hard ass job, sheds it and starts spitting on people. That speaks to them.

they always say when it comes to booking that the money is in the chase, and being so over he's basically a crown-less people's champ. IMO The rebel loses some of his rebellious luster when he already has the top prize. Not even necessarily saying I agree with it just that I can see the logic.
So in your world Austin never should of been champ ? Or punk ?

Nakamura gonna get like a 2 year reign whenever he returns to New Japan.

That Rumble win has him locked for a couple of WK main events even if dude is 44 when he goes back :purogang:

Winning the Rumble has to make him the most successful Japan star in the US I'd think, let alone having a headlining match at WM. Only Jumbo as AWA Champ is really in that running.

The second he won all I could think is he's done it, he's god in Japan now. He rolled the dice, it took a few years, but he's now gonna be the most over wrestler in Japan in decades.

And at this rate he's bound to win the title at some point this year. Naka done beat Tana the only way he could.

Also, HUGE shot from WWE at NJ. Just told every single person on their roster, the days of coming over and becoming a joke ting is over. This contract re-signing period next Jan is going to be very interesting. You know some brehs gotta be sitting around right now tryna torrent Rosetta Stone.
