New Japan Pro-Wrestling (On NJPWWorld and Triller TV)

didn't he have a lot of bad matches in the G1?

I do recall at least one of them being crap, I went back in my notes and it seems the crowd enjoyed his match with Gabe Kidd which ended in a countout.

ZSJ said post show that TMDK would be announcing a new member at Destruction.

The best guess doing the rounds is...

Spoiler

Ryohei Oiwa, who has been on excursion in NOAH, and who has history as a young boy with Fujita and some history with ZSJ. I hope it gets him "noticed". You're not really a member of TMDK until you've performed in Australia.
