5th champion? Did they resent the lineage when they unified the heavyweight and IC?

They did reset the lineage but considering how it's turned out yeah they probably resent it to

when ibushi won the title they created a new iwgp world heavyweight championship with its own lineage separate from the iwgp heavyweight title

Yeah, it was controversial and caused a lot of bad feelings, not helped by the title seemingly being cursed and people getting injured or stripped. Hell, maybe that's why they let Switchblade basically disappear for a couple of months, just to make sure nothing bad happened to him.

An even crazier idea is that new japan titles get defended in Japan

Like literally one of the complaints about the ME is Jay hasn't toured enough to get heat. The overwhelming vast majority of the fanbase is Japanese.

The US title was literally created to garner interest from the western fanbase and help their push into the US market

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I like Chris, but sometimes he needs to let the entrances/atmosphere breath a bit. Realize that he will have plenty of time to get in the story beats as the much gets going.

Sure but since then they've merged a midcard title into the top title.

There is certainly an argument for kenny winning but it's dependent on him defending in Japan which I doubt will happen based on ftrs run..

Can njpw wrestlers win aew titles and vanish with them for months never defending?

I'd argue that. The match was good but very short but the entire postmatch felt awkward
