It actually is, since now there's a big gap that needs filling. I don't like The Elite either but the fact that they just up and left without helping ROH build up some other stars is kinda infuriating. At least New Japan has guys like Juice and Jay. ROH got fucked over by The Elite.

Yeah I don't follow ROH that much either, but I don't see why they couldn't do just as much business as they did for New Japan in putting some guys over. Though maybe WK13 was less of doing business and more of a fuck you to The Elite. Anyways, is there any news on which Young Lions might go on excursion?

>“One of the things with Kushida which led to his leaving for WWE is that early last year he wanted to go heel and join the Bullet Club, but Gedo wanted him to stay in his place.
>“The deal was that New Japan needed the solid junior heavyweight guy, with Will Ospreay in Chaos, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Desperado and Taka Michinoku in Suzuki-gun, Taiji Ishimori in Bullet Club and Bushi and Hiromu Takahashi in LIJ. The home team side had Ryusuke Taguchi, but he’s more comedy now and only turning it on as a serious guy for a few matches a year like Super Juniors, and Tiger Mask and Jushin Liger are legends, but they are no longer in the singles title picture.
>“That probably isn’t the only reason but it was part of it. He handled it professionally, working until 1/29, doing his clean jobs at the Dome and Dash, and because he handled it so professionally he’s getting his first career singles match with Hiroshi Tanahashi on his last night at Korakuen Hall.”

Heel Kushida could have worked like it did with Naito, Kushida was pretty much in the same position as 'Stardust Genius' Naito was in. Joining the bullet club though wouldn't have been that great, why can't NJPW simply have an unaligned heel?

I mean, who's really left? 6 of the jrs are in tag team, which we saw at WK13. Other than Taguchi who is really there to challenge Ishimori?

Taguchi is the old guard for jr heavys. Any new top guy has to have a title match against taguchi after they get the belt. Takahashi had the same match this time of year iirc

Why do they always do this? Probably going to throw in a ton of ROH guys again. I heard that Nagata vs Ishii might be on one of the shows, I hope so.

Sure feels like that, but back then, Naito and Omega easily managed to replace Nakamura and Styles respectively so it didn't hurt things in the long run, more of a benefit really. Right now there aren't any real replacements for Kushida and Jay White is still growing into his role, still a long way to go to reach Omega/Styles' levels. NJPW will still do fine but for now, really feels like a lot has been lost.
>>133527
Card is filled with Shibata's young lions, almost looks like a Lion's Gate card. Juice vs Beretta seems to be the biggest match. Great-O-Kharm is there on the last two days, haven't really seen Oka since his excursion so it will be good to see him. Also he's only Japanese wrestler in the entire tour, yikes.
