He shows some personality last year when he started playing towards to coward and they ate it up.

The real reason is he didn't come through the Young Lion system. EVIL is closer to the IWGP belt than SANADA.

Matter of fact when the last time a non-Young Lion native won the IWGP belt?

Nah dont do that he wasnt signed to NJ and they wasnt putting the big belt on a nikka who could pop up literally anywhere in the world and have a fukkery match w a broom/ladder/dominatrix and he was still winning titles and involved in major storylines. :manny:

He signed now they best put respect on his name now :birdman:

I'm an Ibushi fan too, but the signs are there, breh. They got our guy out here still taking random Ls to ZSJ for no real reason. They got him out here being the workhorse in a tag team meant to hide that Tana is DEEP in the flabby and sick portion of his career, and really needs to be out here with Nagata tagging with young lions and shyt. Let's hope they don't spin this out over half a decade and have him win it just so Shota the Gawd takes it off him at a New Years Dash or some shyt.

It was always inevitable that Ibushi would get stuck just like Naito did. It's what happens when you delay your booking for 3 years :manny: it was said plenty of times before, WK was either going to be "finally Naito get it's/Naito got fukked again he'll never get it again" or "they went with the hot hand with Ibushi/Kota got Naito'd".

To be fair though, just like Naito, unless he suffers a career ending injury, Kota will get a big title win eventually, will it have the same impact it would've had this year? who knows.


At this point I just hope that once Gedo finally pulls the trigger on Kota, it's not at the expense of delaying Shota :dead: :dead:

Probably Kensuke Sasaki or Takayama, either way 15+ years ago

I knew Sasaki was a Choshu protegee but I had no clue he started in All Japan during Ishin Gundan's invasion :ohhh: always thought he started in New Japan. He had to go through the Dojo though, right? dude was mad young in 87' when Choshu came back and brought Kensuke with him.

Matter of fact when the last time a non-Young Lion native won the IWGP belt?

Stro gave the right answer. To be fair though, only 3 Japanese wrestlers that weren't YL have gotten the big belt: Tenryu, Takayama and Sasaki.

Idk if Kensuke did a young lion NJ stage or not. When you look at his early NJ matches it doesn't really look like it to me. And he got sent on excursion pretty soon after joining NJ.

Wata vs Douki :mjlol:

Man, they need to find a way to smuggle SwitchGOAT, Ospreay, Juice, KENTA and Mox back into the country :bryan:
Low-key they might need EVIL to betray LIJ and run with Bullet Club for a bit since 50% of BC isn't allowed into the country for the foreseeable future. :mjlol:
