Let's start off with the good: IT'S COMING HOME TEKKERS! So glad Sabre won the big one and his homecoming this weekend is gonna be massive. So glad I have tickets lol.
I'm also glad they've started putting stuff in place for WK. Some of the titles seem to have concrete direction (definitely the Global and Jr title seem to have directions they want to go in) and the WHC has challengers… Ugh.
Let's be honest, we've all noticed THAT reaction to Umino coming out. I don't know if it was more that the crowd was hyped for Sabre/Sanada but I think it's clear Umino is lacking something right now thats making the crowds slowly turn against him in the main event. I don't want to say he's completely screwed right now, but he needs something to give him that edge, especially over other compatriots that are clearly gunning for the top now.
Right now, I'm thinking they'll do Umino/Shingo for the right to challenge at WK, but with how things are now, I don't see Sabre walking out empty-handed. It feels like they have a genuine face gaijin-ace and if anything, they should ride for a while and let Sabre have some time in the sun.
P.S. Kishin DOUKI was awesome, more of that please
