Loser Naito loses again, as is right

Okada realizing he can't seem to keep Naito down, shrugs and decides to just perfect and combine the powers of Mitsuhara Misawa and Antonio Inoki no big deal.

I think I've seen all their major matches (also had the pleasure of seeing them work together live in 2016) and for me this was their best match.

He was definitely spinning his wheels so I'm really hopeful he is revitalized doing this. I fully and absolutely believed he was done with wrestling or possibly making a return to WWE (so yeah, done with wrestling) so I'm glad he's sticking around.

i believed it too as by all accounts he was pissed at the quarantine and scheduling poo poo and didn't go back to japan for a very long time until rn.

I'm not watching the show & have seen nothing else but the photo of Juice Robinson I just saw on Twitter has me so loving excited that I'm having to post this in the gameday thread. I thought Juice was stuck in a rut until he'd just give up but one look at his new look & it's like "I am very into this"

jay's great but "catalyst of professional wrestling" is a very wwe nickname and he doesn't seem to be doing a jericho thing where it's on purpose

It was a really cool angle, they teased something very lame (Chase Owens challenging Tanahashi) and then delivered something genuinely shocking and intriguing instead.

One of the best things about this is that Switchblade Jay White is legit one of the few people in New Japan who I think might actually beat Okada for the title. There is a kind of air of inevitability to a lot of Okada's matches (and well deserved) but Jay has continually managed to maintain an aura of being a guy who will steal your thunder and take your glory when you are at your highest.
