After KOPW I saw ALOT of fallout on here over either Shota not winning, or too much involvement of AEW on the potential WK card.
I started watching New Japan around 2023 and in the space of those 3 years I think it's gone from strength to strength.
Tsuji's been amaaazing as champ this time round.
Ryohei Oiwa between the G1 final and the KOPW main event has had two absolute all timer matches the past couple of months.
Despite his booking, Shota's finally putting it all together and having consistently good matches.
Yuya's also absolutely fantastic and no doubt he'll get his big win in the end.
Would I have preferred a main event between two NJPW full-timers? Probably.
Is Tsuji vs Kenny going to be incredible? Almost-definitely.
Is Tsuji going to feel like a huuuge deal after (probably) beating Kenny at the Tokyo Dome? Again, almost-definitely.
So yeah, just a reminder to enjoy amazing wrestling whilst we have it even if the storylines aren't going the way you want, because I for one think things are pretty great right now!
