@Rub_a_Dub_0503 I chose the young next generation wrestlers that New Japan has been pushing recently. I wouldn't personally consider GOK part of that generation.

People are crediting the booking for successfully 'rehabilitating' Shota Umino and I swear I'm going to let it go, but...

@9uNvCpMSKaSFoRA Agreed, but this graphic was made to show what New Japan has given its young guys over the years and I think Aaron Wolf's success is heavily influenced by his outside fame. Which is why I don't think it's comparable.

@Luna_100_0 I made this graphic with the intent of showing what New Japan has been willing to give their young stars. NJPW had Yuya win a title match and hold a belt. They chose for him to achieve something. So I think it counts. If you think it doesn't you can make your own graphic.

@SmarkInfested It still doesn't count, just because he was given a physical belt doesn't mean it meant anything, a 43 day 'reign' for a nothing title. It wasn't a title win because he never won it, so it wasn't a success.

@9uNvCpMSKaSFoRA I don't think Aaron Wolf counts in the same way as these young, predominantly home grown stars do. His outside fame influences things. Of course he IS another example of people winning things before Shota, though. XD

@HamsterwheelCeo Some people made up their minds a while ago when he leaned into the Ospreay comparison and wrestling fans don't admit they're wrong very easily.

Callum Newman being the top heel in the company would allow House of Torture to take a bit of a back seat. That wouldn't be a bad thing. HoT being the only genuine heel faction was always a bit of a challenge since it meant needing them all over the card. We now have UE too.

New Japan is not a perfect promotion. At points, it's not even good at all, but it makes you feel things and that makes me tune in It's exactly why moments like the last two days hit so much. It makes me feel something Between the Callum rise, Yuya becoming a star, Shota's redemption, Boltin going insane, TMDK/Unbound Tags, Yujiro going crazy for no reason, I had a lot of fun with the tour and can take a lot of positives out of it #njcup

People keep saying 'Yuya hasn't won anything either' because he didn't have the KOPW belt at the end of the year, but I don't think it's comparable. NJPW CHOSE to give Yuya that belt. He was given an achievement and a title win. Something to carry around and show off. It counts.

@DatJimmy13 They wanted to build Callum as their new top heel and I think that's why this had to happen. Yuya is still in the early stages of the NJPW babyface run. He hasn't even gotten to the torturous 'lose a bunch of iwgp title challenges' stage that Shota is at yet.

@Luna_100_0 No, sorry, I'm not going to agree with this. While that is indeed the rule, New Japan CHOSE to give Yuya this belt. He was given an achievement and a title win. Something to carry around and show off. Something that proved his success. They've not given Shota anything.

@SmarkInfested I don't think you can count KOPW for Yuya, the rule was that they only were champions if they held it by the end of the end so he doesn't count and is on zero like Shota Umino

@unmasked_taro I've felt like this a lot the last year or so when I watched one of my faves get treated (and booked) like shit and I couldn't even talk about it without random people showing up to remind me why he sucks, so I get this feeling and maybe taking a short break will help?

@LittleZ2_ Meanwhile if I made a similar image for lost title challenges Shota would absolutely be on top. 😭
