On another note, I thought Wrestle Kingdom was good but not great. Ospreay/Ibushi, Omega/Tanahashi, Okada/White, Bushi/Ishimori, and Naito/Jericho all delivered, but some of the other matches felt kind of rushed. Apparently it was the shortest WK in history and it felt like it.
Going to be interesting to see the direction New Japan takes in the next few months as they're entering a bit of a rebuild with The Elite leaving and Okada seemingly being pushed down the card a bif. I'm not really sold on Jay White as the face of the new era but they still have a lot of talent on that roster and it'll just be a matter of who steps up. Would love to see Sanada get a big singles push.
