He's like Lance Archer. He's presented as a menace but always gets jobbed.

He has included them but not made them a focus yet

I would argue danhausen has not really had the time onscreen to build up the steam to make anything a focus, because he keeps getting taken off tv for injuries or because he was bootlegging ‘90s Big Japan tapes or because you’re drat right he screwed Bret

thats also how Minoru Suzuki has been in Japan for the past decade+ unless he's fighting even older guys or making a special appearance on some indy

Funny Little Guy Aficionado.
Winning isn't really the worry against suzuki, because Suzuki is past caring about a win loss record. he's done that, he's been the big man. Suzuki isn't here to win, he's here to make sure you're in as much pain for as long as possible during and after the match.

Based on literally nothing at all, I’m going to say that Suzuki is the tryout for people who want to work Japanese NJPW shows. That why Danielson got to go and why RJ City will never get to go.

Is your theory based off of HEY EW, because now I'd really like to see footage of a match between RJ and Suzuki if that exists.

It was a NJPW USA show. Here's a video. I think it captures the "loving young boy" based on lip reading but I can't quite hear it in this clip.

Quite a memorable debut!

No, it just means that you get the audience you're targeting. It didn't have especially broad appeal, but the people in the building that did show up really liked it.

The live crowds could be declining since the angle is not moving forward and is essentially over until max and cole are healthy

It’s not that alone, but even if you were to argue that better than you baybay was the top and only live crowd driver, it basically hasn’t existed since like August, and definitely doesn’t exist now

Show has both great wrestling and sports entertainment.
Live crowds are declining.
Live crowds present are hooting and hollering over sports entertainment segments

Sounds like sports entertainment isn't the problem here. Can't argue with math :colbert:
