I did similar posta for Umino and Narita, so here is the delayed Uemura post.
Yuya Uemura was the last to return out of the Reiwa four. As a result, he had some catching up to do which was made worse by him not having the same opportunities. Narita went to the final of the Tournament to crown the first TV champion then became 6-man champion. Umino went straight into a US title main event followed by al TV and 6 man title matches. Tsuji main evented Dominion for the World Heavyweight championship then a US title match. On top of this all three got to partake in the G1 where they pushed the Reiwa three musketeers label Knowing full well Uemura would only be a couple months away. After all this Uemura returned in a tag match and was just the 5th guy in just 5 guys.
It took a couple months but he got started with a Tokyo Dome win over Tsuji but was followed by a loss in luchas de apuestas in the rematch. He lost his hair and sported a red buzz cut for a few months but losing his hair didn't really do anything for his character he was the exact same guy. He did however win the KOPW title for about a month the first of the four to win a singles championship.
He has slowly developed since without achieving anything however. He has now potentially surpassed Umino as the likely babyface leader of Hontai but will still need some heavy pushing to claim that spot.
Uemura does suit a slow build to the top but it has been quite slow. Instead of disolving Just 5 guys they should have reshaped it around him as he is now competing for the same spot as Umino and both are struggling because of it. But for now I think they need to make a successful feud out of him and Uemura and push him as the top babyface as he is more natural at it.
Won't do one for Tsuji as he is faired mostly well for himself but it took way longer than it should have.
