Imo it’s probably the tall FUTURE kid. They covered his mouth for a reason to not give it away. They’ve used rookies and dojo kids for masked reveal angles before (like on house shows during the RED demon masks). Kinda took me out of the finish because there was no physical way for Shun to be there so why not used an established mystery attacker like Dr Muscle or a Metal Warrior. Little too on the nose for once.

Bonk posted:Kobe show card I spoke about the weirdness here on the last few minutes of this week’s voice gate (doi leaving was the rumor I’ve heard for weeks). Tmk he never got his neck fixed after Roderick Strong nearly broke it/got put on a flight home for nearly breaking it. That was in 2016 I personally was expecting outright retirement or a gleat money run then retirement over a Gamma like situation for him.

The key thing about Eita is that since coming back from Mexico in 2013, he wanted to go back. In the previous era, he was constantly in the doghouse (take a guess with whom) because he wanted to go play Perro Aguayo Junior more so than anything else in wrestling. If he’s doing exclusive freelance it’s probably the best thing for all parties. NOAH isn’t like a destination but he gets to do Perros. New Japan doesn’t fit that. GLEAT sure as hell doesn’t fit that. Unless he wants to fully commit, we’ve played out the string. He’s still one of the real draws in the company (Doi ceased being one years ago, and everyone else whose left is even less of a draw than Doi), so his full departure would hurt. Working mostly in NOAH so he can sleaze it up with friends, touring Mexico a lot, and bigger Dragongate shows should be what people should be hoping for in all honesty.

Bonk posted:TBH I feel like Dragongate could use a few more big name freelancers who float in and out for big matches so it seems like they're a little more connected. Prominent freelancers might be the biggest divide between the native fans and the international fans. Native Dragongate fans by and large aren’t wrestling fans. With almost a quarter century of how they promote, it’s not like young women would much awareness of stars outside of big crossover ones. I had a fan who moved to Japan in my DMs a while back and they went through how little the crowd cared about Ultimo appearances, let alone Hijo del Santo. They will always bring in Masato Tanaka level people for big shows but in a company where the old are being shown the door, why would they bring in an outsider who probably won’t draw to this fan base over pushing a kid or bringing back Toru Owashi, someone the fan base knows of.
