I wasn't even aware that he was already VP in AEW, knew that he had some role within the company but didn't realize it was that significant

Back in my day a Japanese wrestler would at least have a firework up their rear end if they’re gonna do something notable on a bike. It’s like Ibushi’s career never happened smdh

That'd be a neat avenue to turn Souled Out Ren Narita face, if Moxley lost the belt to some dude like a dumbass before his announced defence and Ren had to fight to bring the belt back to the company

While I doubt it'd happen and I don't want Mox to be hurt like when he lost the International title Hobbs winning than losing to Narita feels like the kinda of accident that would end up benefitting both companies Edit: plus I'm hoping for Hobbs this may lead to some more NJPW dates and maybe the g1. Hobbs feels like he'd easily get over as a monster in Japan but also could benefit from doing a tour to get him to the next level SatoshiMiwa fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Apr 21, 2024 |

I don't see what me being right about that being a dumb, unnecessary angle has to do with Sanada being a lameass champion.

New Japan having their world title featured on US TV when they’re in the middle of selling tickets for a few US shows seems like a pretty good deal for the company, IMO!
