Until very recently I firmly believed that Goto would only get to four defenses and would get stuck in that big tie with Sabre Jr, Okada, SANADA and Moxley at that record. It made sense to me to New Japan would want to save the person who would break through to five defenses to be one of the new group of up and comers they're developing. I guess this thinking is the result of being a long term fan of Goto. I'm so used to not getting the best story with Goto. I've been disappointed so many times that it's just too easy to think that he won't succeed in getting to a goal.
Now though, seeing just how over his reign is getting with the fanbase, I'm beginning to believe that he might be the first wrestler to get to five defenses with the IWGP Wordl Heavyweight Title.
Please Gedo, don't disappoint me again.
