So with New Japan announcing that Goto will be defending against Yuji Nagata in V2 on the 15th during the NJPW Cup tournament it has me thinking he won’t have a long reign and that they are trying to get him some title defenses. But this how I would personally like for the rest of his title reign to go.
First i know that’s is highly unlikely but give YOSHI-HASHI the damn new japan cup please,he doesn’t need to win the world title but it would be well deserved for him as I think he has gotten way better as of the last few years and deserves at least one world title shot and he should beat Shota Umino in the finals of the cup, thus we get Goto vs Yoshi-Hashi at Sakura Genesis as Bishamon Collide for V3.
Next up for V4 they announced the world championship will be up for grabs during the US shows so thinking about Gajins on the roster I would go with Jeff Cobb who is I heard rumored to be out of the company soon not sure how true it is but if it is true I think it would nice to have him get a well deserved World title shot which I believe would be his world first title shot as well correct me in the comments if I am wrong but would be a good match and good enough for a US show imo and get Goto to V4.
Lastly i would have the guy to get the belt off Goto be my NJPW Cup runner up Shota Umino who is yet to be on a show since his loss to O-Khan but i don’t see him being the Babyface Roughneck anymore i think he has to be a much more Shooter and ass kicker kind of like Mox is first year post WWE he is just out to prove that he’s what the company sees in him and he is main event material, so V5 I would have on the night two Main Event of the Fukuoka Dontaku shows.
I know this it’s uncommon but Shota wins and just exits with his newly won title through the crowd with no post match comments in the ring, as Goto is left heartbroken in the ring and the crowd cheers him on as his good friend and tag team partner YOSHI-HASHI who is at ringside for the match starts helping Goto on his feet and out the ring but then he snaps and absolutely destroys Goto and the headhunter is out for the head of his former teammate and best friend and this leads to a lone wolf type heel turn for YOSHI-HASHI as he is out for members of Chaos and Hontai is Goto is next feud for the summer which could even lead to the Tokyo Dome if done right imo.
This is just fantasy booking and probably highly unlikely but let me know what you guys think and sorry it went on for so long.
