if hiromu wins only the ic belt off of evil then i'll say they did something wwe

See, I disagree, Naito and everyone here have been saying all along that unless you're unifying them, there needs to be a way to split them, and EVIL saying he'll only defend the 'lesser' belt against Hiromu is a good DICK move for a heel. Plus it adds intrigue. No-one believes they'll put both titles on Hiromu, but the intercontinental? I can see that. (Actually, I can 100% see them doing it in order to have Hiromu drop that title to Ospreay as part of his inevitable push)

i don't have to deal with people who got fooled by the media. so you think a wrestler showing blatant disregard for their own intercontinental championship would get over? Fools.

Are you loving making GBS threads me? First double champ, sidelined for months by coronavirus... Loses on his second loving defense????? gently caress off

Edit: Sorry, Naito is my favorite and I feel like he's just poo poo on constantly (no big victory speech at the end of WK, etc)

It was a tight spot, unfortunately. They're down their two top heels, so turning EVIL, when he was apparently already in line for a big run makes sense, and with him jumping to BC, he kinda had to win otherwise the turn becomes a wet fart.

All this for stealing a piece of bread? :waycool:

Were any IWGP Heavyweight champions also a freelancer during their reign?

I’m curious because if that was the case, folks like Minoru Suzuki or SANADA would’ve easily had that title. Having EVIL in this spot instead of the ones mentioned is okay i guess.

Muto in 2009 was probably the last one.

No, and this has been cited as why neither MiSu nor Ibushi have held it. Both had the IC belt, but never the world title.

And with Suzuki even getting the IC belt took forever to happen

I absolutely agree. I loved the Naito story, loved that he finally got his redemption and fairytale ending, and it sucks that he didn't get at least a few months of title defenses. This being the ending to his title reign really sucks, and I say that as somebody who really digs EVIL.

All of this. Putting two belts on EVIL is a bit weird but whatever. Naito's run truncated by coronavirus... well, I expected it and I’m still sad.

Dick Togo has been one of my faves forever. First Japanese wrestler I saw live and I have a picture of him and me from one of those early ROH shows. He can still go and this will help the juniors potentially.

This I'd be down with. Charlie Brown From Outta Town/Midnight Rider angles are one of my favourite wrestling things.
