So, why do YOU think they’re not pushing the younger talent harder?

I know NJPW has had their roster decimated the last couple years and that sucks; but you can survive it. You just need to push new talent. Yes it won’t happen overnight, but we’ve seen when NJPW really wants to push someone, they strap the rocket to their ass. Like Naito and Omega in 2016. Or heck, look at Jay White’s first two years back from excursion.

They have a lineup of promising young talent but they’re not pushing them. Shota got a WK main event but it had no build and flopped. Tsuji had a decent 2024 but his push seems to have stalled since dropping the global title.

They need to make new stars. They’re not making new stars. Why aren’t they making new stars?
