He's my favourite wrestler and I was so happy when he finally figured it all out in 2019 at 39 years of age. He still has a run in him but the weird ageism in New Japan strikes again..
Time and time again New Japan shoot themselves in the foot by phasing out older guys who are still great. Nagata Was done as a credible guy in 2016 after his last NEVER Title win, Kojima even earlier even tho he still can hang even now at 53. If someone doesnt wrestle like a broken down man, why treat them like one?
On the other hand Boltin is still green as Grass. He can be carried by experienced Top workers like Taichi but especially now, when the biggest complaint in New Japan is the regressing Match quality compared to the golden Age, you dont throw guys like Ishii or Taichi to the side..
Id do the complete opposite, push them harder as long as they can still go and finally give the fans what theyve wanted for years!
The biggest quality or weakness of a worker should never be his age imo.
The decisions yesterday just baffle me.
