Per Dave:

Honma's continuing to improve, can lightly jog now but still needs help with hand coordination (stuff like brushing teeth and pouring water)
Shibata's in good spirits and there's talk of the company keeping him as a fulltime coach

Anyway G1 chat: So Naito is definitely winning huh or are we not sure.

This was the route I felt they were going even before the Kenny/Okada time limit draw. Around the time Naito/Tana was being built as "if Naito retains he's auctioning the belt" it was pretty obvious Naito was losing the belt, which should have only ever been done if they were committed to him being in the full world title main event scene.

Kenny getting the US title definitely feels like a consolation prize thing to keep him away from that specific scene post-G1
