Yeah, if nothing else, it might be like Piper, who resisted world title offers because he felt like title belts left him beholden to promoters. As it is, Suzuki can take pretty much any booking he wants within reason, something he could not do as the world champion. Besides, he has won the main titles for NOAH and AJPW, so it is possible that he doesn't feel compelled to make those kinds of concessions just to become world champion again. It's hard to say, though. It's funny. They clearly know this is odd, and that Gedo and Jado, especially, wrestling is very rarely ideal, but it's what they're stuck with right now. I imagine that, even with their skeleton crew, they still want to not risk overworking the people they do have. I still really am champing at the bit for when bringing people in is safer. The variety is sorely missed. I actually thought New Japan would have seriously considered giving him a run after Mutoh won the GHC so he could be the 4th man to have held the GHC, Triple Crown, and IWGP titles. I am not ruling out that they still could, but I know NJPW doesn't tend to do transitional champs, exactly, and I just don't see him having the title long if he does win it.

Nagata and Moxley will probably be taped for Strong soon if not already

There's a couple things they can do to make Strong more appealing, like selling tickets for fans to be in attendance instead of a empty gym

That lariat and ganso bomb combo by Brody King on Lio Rush was brutal.

I was wondering about that because the English poll had EVIL’s stop up huge. I don’t get the appeal of Yano at all. I really don’t.
