If the IC Belt becomes the Nakamura/Tanahashi Memorial Goodmatch Belt I'm okay with that.

Can't imagine that title match isn't a Bullet Club clusterfuck to set up AJ as a heel and a bigger match down the road.

I can't think of the last time I saw AJ as a threatening rear end in a top hat heel and not just a lol TNA heel.

Just got around to watching the Nakamura/Tanahashi match at Invasion Attack 2014, is Tanahashi a heel now? I thought he was NJPWs golden boy.

Think of Tanahashi as a better Cena. There are some Japanese fans that are sick of his super babyface gimmick.

He is the son of the less talented Brisco Brother and was one of the less talented members of Aces and Eights.

Oh.

I've always felt that all the major Japanese promotions having Heavy World/Tag and Light World/Tag titles waters down both divisions substantially but from what I understand Japan just doesn't buy Juniors moving up into the big ranks?

This isn't true at all. A lot of dojo graduates start out as juniors before they bulk up / move up the card. Naito and Goto off the top of my head ... poo poo, Makabe was a junior heavyweight in the late 90s.

If you want non-NJPW examples there's that Misawa guy, he did pretty well for himself.

Well this is kinda what I was referring to. Didn't Marafuji have to bulk up significantly before his GHC run?

Something I found interesting

Yakuza money is scary. Saying no might be scarier.

Kushida should win BOTSJ. Kushida should win everything.

And there's no way Nakamura is dropping the IC to Fale. No loving way.

I'm very hopeful this is the NWO done right including comeuppance. I mean they already have the too sweeeeets.
