They should get rid of the trios belts and move EVIL/SANADA into heavyweight tag. Maybe more people would care about that division if it wasn't the same three teams wrestling each other on an infinite loop.

let the trios belt be for real lowcarders like the old men, Bullet Club/CHAOS/Suzuki gun third stringers and David Finlay and keep them away from the likes of LIJ and Tanahashi imho

Though saying that, the LIJ/Taguchi Japan feud was pretty great earlier this year. They should have dropped the six man belts at Destruction or Power Struggle to let EVIL & SANADA win the tag league though.

Yeah it's a good use of those guys, though I do hope EVIL gets a nice singles run in 2018 (at least at the NEVER level) and his KOPW push wasn't just a one-off.

I can see Evil getting a shot at the IC or Never belt next year and getting a short run to move him more up to the upper mid card.

I wouldn't be adverse to LIJ losing the 6 man titles before the dome if that would mean Evil and Sanada getting a tag title shot. It'd also help set up a potential LIJ/Suzuki-gun feud which would be a good first defense for Naito

Wait what

Also I went to WWE’s shows in Tokyo 2015-16 and Jericho was over as gently caress. Of course there’s only so much crossover between NJPW and WWE fandoms, but its Jericho, he’s a big enough name to be a big draw. And NJPW is pushing that already, at least on Twitter.

Wrestle Kingdom gonna be reeeeeaaal good.

if the trios titles didn't exist they'd be my pick but EVIL and SANADA are still 2/3rds of them. Since they don't really have any opportunities to drop them before the dome I'd imagine they'll be defending them instead of going for the tag belts.

I don't think they give enough of a poo poo about those belts for it to matter.

the piss break trios title gauntlet match exists to shoehorn people on the card in a match that at least has something on the line. I'll be shocked if they decide to forget the belts exist.

The trios title should be won by a team of Scott Norton/Haku/Vader and I won't be happy until this happens (you can sub out Haku for Sid if you please).
