So like many of us had predicted ZSJ vs Shota will be taking place at the dome. There weren't that many options left for them. And lord know people would have been up in arms having zack face someone not in new japan roster if the company needed another big name in the main event. But instead the company stuck with having Shota challenge for the title which i can respect for having a ballsy choice. The big question is will it main event.
Usually new japan don't put guys who have not main evented the dome before to main event. They would have at least one guy that had main evented before with a new guy in the mix. The match and the build so far has been a mixed bag. And excitment level doesn't seem to be there for a Wk main event. The only match new japan can pull for the dome main event that will definitely attract a ton of attention is Naito vs Hiromu.
There the two top stars in the promotion, in the most popular faction(LIJ), have the credibility and proven drawing power to be a good pick for the dome main event. And i know people will say it should be in the undercard and not over the world title. But lets be real does Zack vs Shota scream WK main that you would drop everything just to get a ticket?
