I know that we're all still on a high from WK and NYD, so apologies for something off-topic. I started doing a deep dive on JTO and I noticed that Thunder Masami was "graduating" from JTO.
His teacher Taka Michinoku does have that NJPW connection to give his young star a shot. He already has appeared once on a show before and showed some great chemistry with Daiki Nagai. He's still only 20 years old so he's young enough where he can "start over" as a Young Lion.
His older brother recently signed with NOAH so they could also be in play. Katsumi Inahata fka Fire Katsumi looked like he was starting over as a young boy in NOAH.
