I know a lot of people will probably look at Takeshita, ELP and a bunch of other guys but Taichi has been cheered at every arenas he’s stepped into. He stepped up to main event for the second night in a row after Gabe Kidd had to pull out, and even then he entertained the fans so much that I honestly forgot Gabe Kidd was supposed to be the main event with the world champion that night. He’s done nothing but make talent look good this tournament and best of all new Japan is properly showcasing him.
As much as I love seeing a tag belt on him, I feel like it’s time to take him more seriously. With the global heavyweight title picture in the air I cannot stress enough how much Taichi more than anyone on this roster has earned his spot to call his shot for champion. I feel like at this point anything aside from the global title is a disservice to Taichi and whatever midcard title he would hold at that point.
