I'm on the camp that he doesn't necessarily need to turn heel and I certainly don't think he's as bad as people make him out to be, but I am wondering and unsure of his direction moving forward.
Like, it can't be a coincidence that heels like Gabe, Ice and OSKAR constantly call him peepee doodoo shitty while glazing the hell out of Uemura and Tsuji. Even face leaning guys like Shingo and Zack shit on him, yet Zack praised Narita. Despite this, Umino is still getting big spots like the G1 playoffs.
So where do we think he's going from here? I don't think these things happen without reason.
