This week on the podcast, the lads discussed ZSJ’s stellar 2023, where he is positioned in NJPW current landscape (with both his TV title and his TMDK faction) the parallels of his run to that of Danielson in the WWE, and whether or not his future will lead him towards a consistent main event push; or if he is destined to never bring it home (and subsequently leave).

I think he gets a big US/UK title run next year. IMO him being the next likely champion is part of the rebrand. Although not sure if he beats Ospreay at RQ3 due to him still being TV Champ.
I think it could be a time limit draw, drops the belt 5o Cobb at power Struggle but challenges Ospreay for the Dome. Unless they have an AEW guy planned for Ospreay.
I was thinking about zsj when i was walking back from the crowbar last night after seeing fujita who was ridiculously over and also so good.
If he was to leave that would be a rather large hole in what I think is their developmental plan for Fujita. It would be a shame not to see this story play out.
Crime of the century. We never got Switchblade v Zack Saber Jr
“Nobody…calls me dickhead.”
This makes me want a ZSJ/KUSHIDA TV title match before he drops the title
