Genuine question, do you think Takeshita is not received well in new japan due to his other commitments. Or do you think it’s just his confusing booking this year?

Just like the title says. Konosuke Takeshita(Mr. 3 Contracts) is the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion & he is going to be in the semi-main event of WK20.

But I'm curious, what are your thoughts on Takeshita as a talent. Do you think him not being well received this year was due to him not being a fully committed talent for the company. Or due you think it's due to his booking and how he was presented.

For me, who watches AEW & NJPW it was pretty clear from last year and before the G1 that Takeshita as the Outsider who is the best talent coming in & proves it fighting everyone in the company especially the Young Gen.

But then the G1 hit & the company seemingly decided to switch something after Gabe got injured & Takeshita became a face for a while. After that there's been this air around Takeshita in japan that seems off.
