Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

The revisionist history


Naito was questioned after he won the G-1 and the failed push he got. But dude was always seen as a future main eventer and the real prospect out of NO LIMIT. Dude made the G-1 Finals at 29 and in his only second entry in the tournament. And the 2012 Anniversary title match with Okada was basically made to push the idea they were the future of the company.

SANADA's story has absolutely nothing to do with that.

I expected more from Charlton

I can't believe that nonsense. The only period of Naito's career where he was doubted was when he came back after the knee injury, was clearly not the same, and they over-pushed him as a white meat babyface at the same time as fans were realizing they weren't gonna give Naka another chance.

And that ended again what, a month or so after WK when he had the Ishii match where he flashed the heel streak for the rest time.

Naito like "I get paid either way "

His whole energy is Dave Chappelle with Netflix money "I'm like Evel Kneivel - I get paid for the attempt"

I just dont see SANADA being IWGP Heavyweight champ material same as EVIL, they need to stick to the Intercontinental scene

ill take Master Wato over SANADA at least he has a personality

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Maybe they're saving that story for WK.

Now that you said that, that might just be the back-up plan if they can't get Mox in for WrestleKingdom.

Funny you mention that, we haven't any old guys besides Honma and Suzuki since late August. Kojima, Tenzan, Nagata, and Makabe been MIA since the stadium show.

I'm assuming they still training the YL's though, just keeping them out of big crowds.
