Yes he was. He actually had a main storyline(as odd as some of it was), he was treated seriously & was X-Division Champ...which is much better than Okado, being a cameraman for Samoa Joe following Pope around. Ehhh, i'm not giving them credit for that He was not treated as shitty as Okada but still treated shitty. He got a good early because by that point TNA had already killed their relationship with NJPW. He got the main event from jump with Muta which is all thanks to Muta. They was not trying piss him off. He won the X division title in like his first 10 matches and was fighting people like DJZ and Tigre Uno until he dropped it to Aries again Looking back, he won the title in April. Defended it against Tigre Uno and DJZ in some fashion in every one of his title matches. Dropped the title in June after Slammiversary and was with James Storm before July ended They treated him right for 3 months before they got bored and then he spent the next year being errand boy for Broke Wyatt Stable Well, agree to disagree, I guess.

Caught up on the 5.22 show. Could this be the start of the summer of Ishii? Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.

Zack Sabre Jr said in his recent promo that Taichi isn't feeling well and is resting. Oh boy.
He also officially proposes the tournament idea to determine the next champion while also throwing his name into the mix.

Minoru Suzuki is making a personal appearance for his store PILEDRIVER HARAJUKA.
So it looks like he's doing okay. I was seeing some rumors that he was one of those who tested positive for COVID.

And indeed, Taichi confirmed that he did test positive for COVID-19. He’s feeling better but, he’ll be sitting out the Road to Wrestle Grand Slam shows just to be sure.
So that means Jay White, Kazuchika Okada, David Finlay, and Taichi have all confirmed to have been part of the Dontaku cluster.

Even if he’s not at NJPW’s main event level yet, it’s better than him drifting aimlessly as a Muta ripoff henchman. Even Muta himself with the ICP felt more legit than Sanada as a Storm flunky.

SANADA still has a lot of time ahead of him, the man just only turned 33 this year. Him and Okada are the same age But yeah, his TNA run was bad. The treated him good early to stay on Muta good side and then ran out of ideas after 3 months and then just made him a man in a group with crazy face paint. He was supposed to be the ACE of Wrestle-1 and that shit went left

Still no word on Saturday's lineup
They're better off scrapping it and focusing on Dominion

W-1 could never figure out its identity or who its Ace was going to be. First it was going to be Sanada, then Kai, then Manabu Soya, then Daiki Inaba
Even if the Pandemic hadn't happened I didn't see it still around today

W1 was already closing before the pandemic took over.

He says he had the wide range of symptoms and had to be hospitalized. Now you’ve got to worry about long COVID with him.

Someone please ease my mind and tell me that Texas Heavyweight Championship Belt Chase Owens has isn’t the real one.
