Hirooki Goto just being left behind everyone else. I talk about him and my fandom a lot but it's true.
Gedo's constant love for gaijin. Elgin, Anderson, Gallows, O'Reilly, Fish, Romero, Beretta, and every other one on the roster.
Shibata still getting shit for something that happened like 10 years ago. I know loyalty is a big deal in Japan and all, but let it go.
Giving Brock Lesnar the IWGP Heavyweight Championship just for being Brock Lesnar

Trying be a sports entertainment company and downplaying their roots. Yellow Barbie. Maria and the extreme closeups of her ass. Bullet Club outliving its usefulness. Massive outside interference. A feud involving a commentator. The NWA parade of goobers.

Yeah, this begins and ends with Inoki's awful love of MMA nearly killing the promotion.
The terrible modern treatment of the juniors is pretty bad too. People have a very idealized version of light heavyweight wrestling in Japan, but sometimes the gap is just as wide as it is with the cruiserweights here in North America.

Chyna wrestling for Njpw in 2002 Who did she wrestle, Tenzan, right? Is that as bad as I'm imagining it being?

I like Kenny Omega, but the Bullet Club guys thinking he would be a better leader than AJ seemed kinda dumb. Although I guess they did the same thing when they wrote Balor out of the storyline. I'd argue it with Omega. He was the rampant Junior champion for most of the year whilst AJ kept failing. Makes sense they'd back the more successful horse.

Is Omega still doing the "chainsaw stubble" gimmick? Because...man, I love Omega, and it got over huge at last year's WrestleKingdom, but....I dunno if I can buy a main event heel doing that.

The rumble from this year WK was super stupid, the entrances took more time than the actual match which his solely purpose was to push the semi active booker and a japanese idol.
Imagine if the WWE did the same to their low card

Imagine if the WWE did the same to their low card I was pissed that Sakuraba managed to show up and was unceremoniously eliminated. I was watching and couldn't tell you how it happened. He shouldn't have been in it if he wasn't going to do anything. I didn't mind Jado pulling a Japanese Triple H, booking himself to come out with an elaborate entrance and a gorgeous girl to win, because it was f***ing absurd and the match doesn't mean anything anyways. However, Sakuraba is a personal hero of mine, and I think he's above or at least beside the pre-show rumble at this point, not to mention he'd just been in a fight a week before. That he also really had no business being in.

A lot of guys have mentioned it in separate facts but... Tanahashi's Cena Booking
He wins almost all the time, and when he doesn't, he sweeps his loss under the rug in this way, he appears in front of who defeated him, and he goes full Condescending Cena:
"So you defeated me, nice speech, but you will not be the better man until you defeat me for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, AAAAISHITEMAAAAAASU"
Then he proceeds to get his win back, and he gets his win back again, and again.
Hell, his promo on the conference before WK10 was straight dickish Cena
"I'll defeat Okada, again, in the Tokyo Dome, again, for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, again, and i'll make him cry, again"
I love the guy, but... yeah.

Something tells me adding these Six-Man titles will make for a booking mess by the fall.
