Most wrestlers who are asked about Benoit were either his friends, his coworkers or guys with some connection to WWE and that makes it very awkward for them to answer. Liger has no political or business interest in dancing around it.

Someone on reddit summarized it

quote:

Said he won't find another tag partner as good as Trent?, so he's not gonna try. But will still keep going as he has a lot left in him.

Highlights:

His contract is up in January and is figuring out what to do but ideally will stay in NJPW and help with the expansion.
He mentioned probably doing another singles run in the Junior division
Wants to get back to PWG
Wants to wrestle for more independents and do more singles matches. Tried to think of opponents and Matt Riddle was the one he brought up off the top of his head.
Someone asked about him challenging for the NEVER belt and he said he'd love to.

I have an EVIL story. I went to Tower Records in Tokyo and checked out the NJPW section to see if there were any T-shirts to send my cousin (this was before I got into NJPW and I only knew Bullet Club, Okada and Nakamura) and the only T-shirts they hadn't sold out of were about fifty "EVERYTHING IS EVIL" T-shirts. I thought it was stupid and didn't buy one. Now I regret that decision and spit on my last self.

WK could be something like this

Okada v Naito, for the big belt
Omega vs Ibushi, US title
War Machine vs G.O.D. tag belts
Cody vs Tanahashi, ROH title
MCMG vs Young Bucks, IWGP Jr. titles
MiSu vs Zack Sabre Jr. NEVER title

I'm guessing based it looking like they're doing ZSJ/Tanahashi for the IC title and Desperado/KUSHIDA that Juice or Elgin beats Suzuki in the G1 for a NEVER title shot and Suzuki/Tanahashi is the eventual outcome of that faction battle. I'm not sure on how one of them ends up dropping their title, but I guess they could do a unification match to get rid of one of their four singles heavyweight titles.

MiSu vs Zack Sabre Jr. NEVER title

The top two make sense, Okada/Naito is practically etched in stone and NJPW needs to run Omega/Ibushi before Kota gets distracted and spend nine months doing a one-man wrestling version of Sesame Street or something like that.

I agree with Cody/Tana but there's some hoops that need to be jumped through. Tana needs to lose the IC title soon after the G1 and get his armed fixed, and Cody probably needs to lose the ROH title as well since Tana really doesn't need to take a third straight high profile Dome loss. While it might be tempting to have Hiroshi Tanahashi as ROH champ even for a second, ROH doesn't need a second straight Dome show with it's main belt changing hands. Get Tana healthy and the belts off everyone and you've got a match.

Speaking of the IC title, I've got no clue where to go there. I'm kinda thinking Goto/BIG MIKE, since both are around that level and neither seems like they have anything else going on and both deserve better than a lower-card multi-man if healthy. I don't know where we're going with the juniors either but we've got time to set it up.

So I'm thinking:

Okada/Naito for the IWGP title
Goto/Elgin for the IC title
Omega/Ibushi for the US title
War Machine/GOD/KES for the tag titles, is Archer healthy yet or is he done?
MiSu/Ishii for the NEVER title
KUSHIDA/:daryl: for the Jr. title for lack of a better idea and I don't want a Taguchi singles match. Maybe Ospreay or Ricochet could go here as well.
Cody/Tanahashi singles
Bucks/someone(s) for the Jr. tag
Some NEVER six-man bullshit
Maybe some kind of match for guys like Juice and ZSJ and SANADA who don't have a natural singles tie-in right now but deserve better than the NEVER six-man or the old man battle royale.
Preshow old man battle royale.
