Naito absolutely does not try as hard on US shows. By his own admission he doesn't care about being a star in the west. And by his own admission has never watched any American wrestling. Which ironically makes me respect him more, because man openly does not give a fuck.

@ItDoesntMatterReally Ай бұрын

This is true, but I also think it's that he just doesn't care about AEW. His bout with Moxley at NJPW Strong's Windy City Riot in front of about half the crowd in attendance for Forbidden Door was actually good.

People view wrestling through a more limited lens than other forms of media. There's room for both Hollywood Blockbusters and indie films to have an audience. There's room for Taylor Swift and Dream Theater to be considered successful whilst appealing to radically different demographics. But because pro wrestling has been a monopoly for over 20 years, some people think the WWE way is the objectively right way.

Pretty much anything past or current LIJ is over right now in New Japan. Shingo, Sanada, Naito, even young Tsuji. I think Evil's starting to wear out his welcome with the HoT antics though. Did it enough to get he and Moxley voted out of the Dominion main event.

He argued that it's Forbidden Door so it should be filled with exhibition matches. It's a PPV.

@ItDoesntMatterReally Ай бұрын

Tsuji's won NJ Cup and had two world title matches already, so I'd say he's technically main event. I don't know what the deal with Zack is. He seems loyal, but maybe he doesn't draw domestically. There also might be a fear he wont draw globally either. Kidd's only been in NJPW proper for a little over a year now, and while he's great in-ring and has an awesome persona, he's not a draw for western fans who aren't already watching or Japanese fans just yet. Titan splits time between NJPW and CMLL, but does awesome when he shows up for junior tourneys. I think after the Dominion debacle they're starting to value juniors more, especially now that the heavyweight division is lackluster. I kind of want this year's G1 to bypass the R3M and other young hopefuls involved just so Naito can win and challenge Hiromu for Wrestle Kingdom. Everything LIJ past and present is over in Japan, and Hiromu's very deserving of his flowers. His goal all year has been a title shot against Naito. I say give it to him.

I think MJF has peaked in AEW. He'd have been way better received if he'd gone somewhere new like New Japan or WWE. Punk comparing him to Miz was on the money because if he doesn't leave AEW or wildly reinvent himself soon, I see him settling into the same rut that the Miz has mostly been in since his failed world title run: sporadic bursts of "yeah this guy is really good at character stuff, why did he fall down the card?" in between years-long stretches of do-nothing midcard goofiness.
