With foreign talent leaving again, we're back to Gedo, Jado and Togo being in matches despite the fact they are barely a half step above mobile.

FWIW, Jay White's profile has been removed from the NJPW US & JP sites. Either it's a super work, or Hunter got himself a young superstar.

Do it! They're awesome. Only team I've liked in the past like, three years other than Juice & Finlay. Too bad Taka isn't there to compliment them Taka is unlucky to not have survived near death in the ring. People might have forgotten about his affair if he did like they forgot Shibata's.

Two new matches added: Kojima/Ospreay Tenzan/O-Khan Kojima and Ospreay will be decent. I hope O-Khan and Tenzan is a squash. Tenzan is only slightly more mobile than Gedo and Jado.

Much as I like Shingo as the NEVER champion, I really think Tanahashi is a much more interesting choice for champion here. They'll need his selflessness to get over the hump of not having a ton of foreign talent at their disposal.

Tho even then, Shibata got caught with the affair before his match with Okada and it surprisingly didn't ruin his push. We didn't know it would be his last match but I thought he might have f***ed himself over big time cause without injury he was going to break through to that upper spot Don't know if he would have won the IWGP title like Ibushi has but he def would been IC champ and had a few battle with Naito for ir

Besides that, I think Shingo can either step up and take the U.S. title (someone has to) or you let him and SANADA tag for a bit to give SANADA some type of gold because he's worked hard for two years and really has no accolades to show for it in terms of hardware Rather it be singles gold in the form of the IC title but it will keep SANADA hot as opposed to him losing IWGP title shots like his name is Goto

Clearly, they eventually worked it out, but it was pretty nasty for a bit there. Anyway, on the topic of the NEVER title: I like Shingo and all, but Tanahashi winning would be way more interesting. I like the NEVER title jumping around to wildly disparate champions, plus whoever beat Tana for it would get that kudos. Hell, imagine someone like El Desperado managing that if they liked how he performed in his conflicts with heavyweights before.

I know DOUKI loses a lot, but I still like his chances against Gedo and Jado.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing Shingo beat Ambrose for the US title.

Would be interesting matchup since the only match they have had so far is the match they had at the G1 in 2019 and Mox beat Shingo I want to say he is the only to beat Shingo by submission as well in NJPW but I could be wrong
