I don't like this for finlays character lol

I don't even mind him in bullet club but he shouldn't be with gedo. A gedo wrestler is supposed to be the hand picked golden guy because the fans understand the meta booking

Wasn't his whole complaint that he wasn't a wrestler a gedo would pick. How is he a rebel with gedo ???

Gedo should vanish and return with a uemura or something not be weakening finlay

Actually legit hoping Ishii beats him, and he and Gedo blame each other and the whole thing self-destructs just so they can do something different.

Yeah I definitely would have liked it a lot better if he were a wandering shithead without a crew, a rebel in direct defiance of New Japan's stable-heavy booking. Can only hope this is one of the promised twists in the BC Civil war, with a cohort led by Kenta or ELP saying "who the gently caress is this guy Gedo? You want us to work with him just because you brought him in" and their being a couple of guys more loyal to Gedo than the idea of 'Bullet Club'

finlay needed a change and a heel turn could do him wonders. but yes, in addition to this it's just "hey here's another white guy with long brown hair and a beard playing a slight variation on the same sleazeball heel gimmick in bc". they need some new unit concepts, just four guys has been been even if it's just half of suzuki-gun and they're not getting pushed so far

yeah it just makes it come off not as "here's a new dangerous heel" but "uh who can we throw in there". they need to get some new unit concepts without kidani getting pissed at lack of merchandising rights and/or contracts depending on which version you want to believe
