Motown Saint Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Can't say I blame Naito. Look how Balor, Anderson and Gallows have been reduced too. The only reason WWE would want Naito is to eliminate a threat to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or because some people on their roster think and know he's awesome True, but honestly, WWE has done this before: Sign someone away from whatever company to eliminate a threat. Good on Naito to stay loyal to NJPW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niffan Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yes, Naito has had a rough year following his WK12 loss, but it is becoming somewhat clear that Naito is filling the Nakamura role in the main event scene. He will probably elevate the Intercontinental championship time and time again. This is, in itself, cruel irony seeing that this is the championship that took away his main event spot at WK8. And now it might very well end up defining him... Or he defines it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey D. Jiggy Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Anyone thinks it's funny that Naito hated the IC-title and what it stood for and now he's basically the IC-guy who is popular but is not going to be the world champ? Or is that just me who thinks that's a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGPLX. Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm really not a fan of this Naito/Jericho match and I don't really want to see either be IC champ at this point. It'd be cool to see Jericho retain and face other guys. but then I remember he'd only wrestle two more times max this year (and one of those times will be against Naito).

St★rstruck Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Naito should have won the Heavyweight title at WK last year. Omega being champion is lame as shit. I don't even like the dude anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fight Me. Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Speaking of which, Omega-Okada just won Tokyo Sports' MOTY Award for the second year in a row. And is now up on NJPWWorld for free for ya'll not signed up for that smh. And yeah, Naito losing earlier this year hurt my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
