Seeing SANADA looking like a resplendent, handsome, reincarnation of Inoki makes me wonder why tf he wasn't champ years ago.

I think hindsight will have people looking at when EVIL left LIJ and won the title... maybe SANADA was lucky that he had to wait until after the COVID era.

I would've very much liked to have seen another TAMASHII rep to solidify that this is a real New Japan brand. Slex might've been difficult because you have to solidify a TMDK connection; Luchi would probably be a confusing entry if he wandered out in a Bullet Club tshirt...

I know he loses all these main events, but Moretti has to start being considered for these things doesn't he?

I guess they're expecting Momo to have recovered from her concussion by then. Twitter banter already started

Notes from last night's Wrestling Dontaku show:

Spoiler

Hikuleo wins the NJPW Strong title from KENTA.
ZSJ retained the TV Title vs Jeff Cobb via time limit draw, there was a funny promo from Shane Haste beforehand pretending to be ZSJ.
Okada, Tanahashi and Ishii won the Never Openweight 6 man tag titles.
Jon Moxley says he will return to New Japan at Dominion in June. Possibly to tag with Shota Umino and someone else for the 6 man tag titles?
David Finlay won the Never Openweight title from Tama Tonga. ELP after the match jumped Finlay.
Sanada retained the IWGP World title vs Hiromu Takahashi.

the guy who jumped Sanada after the match gave him a cracking spear
