Robbie is a bit of a surprise to me, as I wasn't expecting him to be brought in from Australia just now.
Of course, there is the question as to how loyal he is to CHAOS. Him versus SHO is definitely one to look out for.

I hope they end up going with Ospreay trying to court him and Robbie telling him to f*** off. He's just much better as a face, and if Ospreay's going to bring in someone else to his group, I'd rather it be a surprise, I gues.
Hoping DOUKI surprises people by doing a bit better this year.

What happened to Lio Rush retiring?
Homie was making a big deal about that after he got let go in WWE selling off all his old shit so he can get more into music

Man, I sometimes feel for BUSHI. It's not like he hasn't had some accolades, but he feels like such a doofus sometimes. It's crazy he is such an afterthought in LIJ He won the Junior title for a short period and has never been given a significant push since then. Just a few NEVER title runs to pad the stats

Just a few NEVER title runs to pad the stats He’s good, better than booked but ever since he suffered a near career threatening injury (at the time people were worried his life was in danger) he’s never really been given much. I think that changes him physically. He’s still a big seller with masks and imo underused. Hiromu is like the only guy who can win the tournament but if Bushi did I’d be all for it

I am so sick of these Naito vs Evil tag matches If you’re a NJPW fan isn’t this what you sign up for? Exhibition tags that exhaust interactions before the actual main.,,, they’re doing it now because it’s Naito as champ and can’t give him a new rival. The most popular wrestler in Japan, that’s why other booking stuff—oh wait, maybe this not good booking is really long term booking! Nevermind, once something good happens the bad thing you’re upset about will be good.

Nevermind, once something good happens the bad thing you’re upset about will be good. Har har. Even people who defend Gedo having longterm booking don't make bones about the fact that NJPW has a lot of filler matches. Granted, I prefer it to WWE's doing this, but with singles matches, and then wondering why people don't give a shit, but "longterm payoffs can be worth the wait" and "a bunch of 6-man matches can be pretty dull" can co-exist. I wonder if the idea is supposed to be for these guys to work on their chemistry since house shows aren't a thing, I guess, or what.
