Tetsuya Naito is one of the most important wrestlers in new japan. His popularity is undeniable and he is one of the biggest factors IMO why I'm a fan of new Japan.
But looking at Naito now makes me sad that covid practically ruined any chance he would have had to have a proper reign as the top guy of the company. I still remember after WK14,naito was champion and had a match against Kenta in a sold out Osaka show.
And then we teased him vs Hiromu. And the company was at its hottest. Naito was slowing down but he still van pullout great bouts at that time. Naito can still go but you can tell the man is close to finish up his career.
It feels like the company or Naito can have him get a long time off since he's there biggest star. And they need him for the big shows. I wonder if Naito will lose the title at the dome and then take a break.
