New Japan, in my opinion, has the best wrestling in the world. They lost AJ but they replaced him with Omega, who has been killing it. Naito's heel character is all kinds of awesome and obviously Tanahashi is still one of the best in the world. Okada, Goto, Ishii, and Shibata are all top level performers.
Kenny Omega vs. Tetsuya Naito (NJPW G1 2016 Day 18) - Gif is from that match. It wasn't even the finals of the tournament. MOTY contender.
Okada vs. Omega at Wrestle Kingdom is pretty much set which is going to be awesome.
The reason why Naito is so hot right now is because of his "I don't give a rat's ass" character. He is so disrespectful and smarmy.
The funny thing is, he was exactly where a certainly someone in the WWE is now. Naito came in as a "genius" and was pushed to the top as a white-bread babyface. He was excellent in the ring but his character had no depth. He was just another nice-guy babyface that management obviously had big plans for. So, people started to boo him. Over time, he was getting more boos than cheers. What did New Japan do about it? Did they keep ramming him down people's throats? Nope. He went to Mexco for awhile, turned heel, and came back as a guy who had lost his faith in the fans and now mocked them and the senior wrestlers. He became a pure asshole and now he is far more over than he ever was before and probably sells FAR more merchandise with his Los Ingobernables de Japon stable.

Her father's responds sounds like baloney. The WWE pays for some of the best medical treatment in the world and there is no way they're going to suspend someone for properly cataloged painkillers.
