Honma's trying and you can tell that he really wants to be there, but it's about time for him to retire.
And I keep saying that Okada should bring back Red Ink or Deep in Debt for his submission finisher.

Watching Night 3 now, have been watching these on catch up.
Honma and Jado both need to retire. With his back injury, I don't even think Jado can take back bumps anymore. In the backstage comments for Night 2, Douki was getting on to him asking what he even did in the match. Keep him as manager for GOD if you have to, but have him retire in-ring ASAP.
Honma is just sad. The way he just plummeted to the floor when Naito was trying to hook a reverse DDT really reminded me of Taker's match against Reigns. The body is just completely done.

New Japan needs to sign or bring in new talent soon. No reason the likes of Jado should still be out there. Even with Corona cutting off Gaijins, surely there's freelancers in Japan they could get

Even with Corona cutting off Gaijins, surely there's freelancers they could get They are just comfortable with what they have Jado fits into BC for better or worse. Bringing in a freelancer just to have them be an extra body is not resources they want to spend. Add on that whoever they bring in, they would have to test this person, quarantine them and then integrate them into the roster Gedo and Jado shouldn't be out there but it is just all hands on deck to do quick matches and fill out the card

Jado has no business in a ring anymore.

Plus Honma is lucky to be wrestling at all He knows he is done but he can still pull an effort out if he needs to as I don't see him doing this too much longer tempting fate

Saw this hilarious segment of Tama talking about Elgin that I had to share: streamable.com/cmvorg (language, obviously). I knew most behind the scenes didn't like Elgin after his issues around WTL '17, but I didn't know he blamed Tama for his NJPW relationship problems.

Anyone who buries Michael Elgin is a babyface for life in my eyes. Best one was Jeff Cobb during the WrestleKingdom press conference earlier this month: “What has happy go lucky Jeff Cobb done for me and my career here at New Japan? Absolutely nothing! Two years I was stuck with a stinky midget who couldn’t carry my bags"

He also has the benefit that it's not like it's a secret that he's booker, so that works for heat, too, that whoever he is paired with is getting preferential treatment.

One negative about no Fantasticamania is that we don't get to see them dub over the licensed music CMLL guys and watch them replace it with Mexican music like La Cucaracha and the Mexican Hat Dance

For those that don't know, it's the "Money Chant" from the Wolf of Wall Street which leads into "Black Skinhead" by Kanye West. Shockingly, it was dubbed over.
