Hiromu will likely do the freelancer route Naito's doing. He can run with Naito and Bushi in LTJ, work NOAH with them, sell his own merch, and work anywhere he wants to work. Honestly don't be surprised if Sanada leaves too. This kind of thing happens a lot in puro promotions where if a main guy leaves all of his boys leave too. Only one I see staying in NJPW is Shingo.

02/03/26(Tue)04:00:57 No.19824968 I don't blame him for leaving at all. He obviously cares deeply for the junior division based on him refusing to be moved up from it but its treated as such an utter afterthought by the booking. Hopefully him leaving is a wake up call for them to actually give a shit about the division again.

he was so tranquilo (in his own live detonator kind of way) the molecules of his spinal column feeding off his fighting heart transcended medical prognosis and he recovered in a way yet unknown to follow from a natural process. This can happen when you work for a promotion that is not a sold off husk.

Finally, in answering the first post, would Omemega and riho work as figureheads/the top guy and his manager if hypothetical we could erase the tonezone and all secondary promotions went "all in" or at least revolved around a resurgent njpw in a world war to bring down the fed or better yet purify it if thats possible

know it can be hard to believe, but there is a promotion out there where: the boys are not self-marks, are a mutually respecting family unit, know and fulfill their assigned roles, keep kayfabe alive, and produce streams of kino on the reg.
In our particular case one effect of the above is that producing a fun show for the viewers is preeminent, the junior division is seen as a downgrade but a place where the smaller can high fly more easily, putting this together Ol' Timebomb was happy being at place that facilitated the storylines, and officially being heavyweight was not a requirement for that; as well as 'work'-wise he is a 'shoot' junior but the khan sabotaging of late had made the weightclasses seem a little more loosey-goosey out of dire roster depletion, but see not essential for takachan
