It's not that kind of test.

Also I still don't get what people see in SANADA as a top guy, he's consistently been like #4 in LIJ to me and he's kind of there with J5G too. But I'm happy for y'all. :)

He can go in big matches, but yeah, he's never particularly thrilled me either. I'm sad Taichi will likely be relegated to #2 in the faction, and I won't be surprised if they end up as an upper-card tag team rather than individual singles successes. Would love to be proven wrong though!

Yes it was, the new (as yet unnamed) corkscrew DDT thing he's been doing is cool though
