God, that's a wild tag team. I'm kind of assuming there will be hijinks, chickens coming home to roost over some of Okada's actions as of late.

New hel turn, Okada looking for challengers It isn't a bad move If they’re serious about him being the next big gaijin heel and BC leader, you have to give him credibility out of the gate. I’m not as down on him as some are. I thought he had an excellent 2022 and showed he can be a heat magnet at BITV.

I’m not as down on him as some are. I thought he had an excellent 2022 and showed he can be a heat magnet at BITV. Wouldn't say it's being down - at least what I've seen - rather concern about how he'll flow as a heel. He had a great G1 last year, and showcases before it against White, but they were as a never-say-die underdog. His babyface fire is terrific but he'll have to to structure matches and offense differently as a heel. His BITV promo was really good, I have no reservations on the character work. A lot of that comes with time anyway.

I’m not a fan of Finlay, but to be fair, Jay White was an awesome babyface before he returned to Japan. One of the things that annoys me about Jay leaving is him not being able to showcase that side. Sometimes great faces make surprisingly great heels, and if nothing else, Finlay is very easy to hate.

I think they are basically going to give him a little slow burn like they did Ospreay for the last 2 years but it is a step up for him They been flirting with ZSJ for a few years but once Ospreay gets his title run this year I would not be surprised to see Zack shoot up the ladder as he has his own group and everything you need
