Haha, I love that the booker of NJPW is Okada's personal hype man. It never ceases to blow my mind that Gedo of all people became the most powerful man in Japanese wrestling today. Everything about him is such a mind fuck versus how he was in the mid '90s as a fat, talented but frequently lazy little junior heavyweight. It was weird enough when he suddenly got super shredded and started working his ass off. I still can't quite grok him running NJPW.
Agreed on Goto being too good for his role. I do hope Suzuki-gun has a traitor in NJPW, and part of me thinks it would be incredibly awesome if Tanahashi continues this "I'm the ace forever!" business all the way to a full on heel turn. Problem is the babyface ranks of the main roster are awfully thin right now, especially if you don't count guys who are pushing 50. But it might work if they had Goto run wild as the new savior, shutting down Tanahashi and then rescuing the belt from Suzuki to stop being a pitiful 8-time challenger/8-time loser.
