I think Wato should just fully lean in to the comedy aspects of the gimmick. Taguchi and Yano aren't going to be around forever (sadly) and he could utilize his doofiness.
Cards that don't warrant a thread.
NJPW 49th Anniversary Show
March 4th, 2021
Live from Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, Japan
Unification Match for the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Titles (Winner becomes the first IWGP World Champion)
Kota Ibushi (c) Vs El Desperado
New Japan Cup First Round Match
Tetsuya Naito Vs The Great O-Khan
New Japan Cup First Round Match
Jeff Cobb Vs Satoshi Kojima
Six Man Tag
CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, Tomohiro Ishii, and SHO) Vs Los Ingobernables de Japon (Shingo Takagi, SANADA, and BUSHI)
Ten Man Tag
Bullet Club (Jay White, Taiji Ishiimori, Chase Owens, KENTA, and EVIL) Vs Hiroshi Tanahashi, Rysuke Taguchi, Toa Henare, Juice Robinson & David Finlay
Eight Man Tag
Suzuki Gun (Minoru Suzuki, DOUKI, and Dangerous Tekkers) Vs Tomoaki Honma, Hirooki Goto, Master Wato, and Gabriel Kidd
Why is Goto slumming it with the Young Lions and old gimpy gorilla Honma in the opener?
I'm really really excited for the main event although the unification aspect makes it even more of a foregone conclusion than I already thought it was. I assumed they just named Ibushi the first unified champion. For some reason, I felt like Despy had a incredibly tiny sliver of a chance for the shock upset challenging for the title but not in a unification match!
