That’s the thing. Naito needs something to do if he wins or loses. If Ibushi falls short (long term story” defenders somehow will quiet up here) then there’s a fascinating issue. Still calling it, Naito wins at WK. I think his heartbreaking defeat moment happened last year though, with him losing to Okada on night one, and White on night two. I think this will be the end of Naito's time as a #1 superstar. I think they move him to where Tanahashi went after his WK loss to Okada. Still a big star, but not really in the IWGP title scene constantly. As much as I like him, Naito already got his moment and holding back the overdue Ibushi Title win would be just as dumb as what happened at WK12. Naito is going to Nakamura/Tanahashi level He's going to be probably still the most popular guy on the roster but he doesn't need the IWGP title anymore due to his journey being over. Naito is already the record holder for the IC title so I can see him closing in on 10 reigns before it is all said and done Wouldn't be surprised if they move Hiromu up to HW in 2 years and he helps Hiromu and they tag for a while but Naito still has a lot to give.

Kinda telling how they've given up on Wato already as he's not on this tour and Honma is. Not even to try and build him up for BOSJ

Could be them giving up, or could be trying to think of ways to tweak him or perhaps resting him.

Good news for New Japan, they made 2 million in profits this year.
Given the circumstances with Corona, limited audience and available roster that's a win for them

Not sure why Okada isn't teaming with Sho or a other Chaos member instead of a Young Lion

BUSHI deserved to job again for having a mask that stupid looking for the match.
What a geek.

Man, I sometimes feel for BUSHI. It's not like he hasn't had some accolades, but he feels like such a doofus sometimes.

If the Tekkers lose the tag belts TO YOSHI-HASHI, I will kick something.
Especially if it has to do with Yano.

I dunno if there will be surprises, but my guess is if that Daisuke Sasaki is actually in BOSJ, he will just be announced as "X".
