Why did they fumble YOH so bad? Dude was so crazy over during BOSJ last year and they have had him spend the entire year losing to EVIL and SHO again and again and again. Why?

1. Feel bad he’s good enough in ring but sho got the switch and has excelled started watching bosj and thought they might use that but honestly as good as sho is house of torture are too much for me to put up with. Just got back in with the autumn show and loved it. How did yoh do in bosj and since? Just comes across as too bland to me.

2. I’ve been wondering that a lot myself as I agree coming off last years BOSJ I felt there’s a lot of upside to Yoh that could be built from BOSJ but they carried on his and Sho’s feud for the first part of the yeah then he had a mixed BOSJ where he had the big win over Hiromu and the emotional promo afterwards but post tournament got pulled into the Chaos-HOT stuff over the Never 6 man and with Kushida returning and Master Wato getting the opportunity to begin the Jnr Heavy title match just feels he’s dropped back into the pack and the gap between Hiromu,Despy and Ishimori to the rest got bigger.The view is Charisma is a weakness of his but it can be worked on and maybe the upcoming tag tournament is where to start it cause in ring wise he’s pretty solid just needs to find that extra piece that’s missing hopefully the next year things work out

3. Counter point, how did they ruin Sho so bad?

4. Because he’s boring. SHO inherited all the personality from the R3K split.

6. YOH is the one who should’ve joined HOT, would’ve been perfect for him whereas SHO was already on his way to being a top jr. Heavyweight baby face. SHO definitely didn’t need to join HOT

7. Sure they fumbled YOH, but he’s also done himself no favors by looking utterly bored out there and being as equally interesting. If I asked you to describe what YOH’s character was could you tell me?

8. YOH is extremely bland. That’s all it is. When it comes down to choosing a top Jr. Heavyweight babyface, would you choose YOH or Hiromu?

9. Tbf to Yoh you can feel the disinterest of the Company for him and it hurts possible fandom. This happens now and then. Hell even douki had a spark of hope like a year ago was just suddenly having bangers but the company wasn’t about that and just buried his ass til the fandom couldn’t care anymore. Me? I say if you can give wato that long to catch on yoh deserves that much too , a honest try.
