Reiwa Three Musketeers Formed​

In recognition of their quick ascension in the ranks of New Japan Pro-Wrestling, and clear desire to lead a new generation within NJPW, Shota Umino, Ren Narita and Yota Tsuji will together be officially named the Reiwa Three Musketeers.

The distinction harkens back to 1988, where Masahiro Chono, Shinya Hashimoto and Keiji Muto were named the original Three Muskeeters of the Fighting Spirit. As rivals and partners, the three spearheaded NJPW at the end of Japan’s Showa period and into the Heisei era.

2004 would see Hiroshi Tanahashi, Shinsuke Nakamura and Katsuyori Shibata labelled the New Three Musketeers, with each becoming indelible figures in New Japan Pro-Wrestling history.

Reflecting the current Reiwa period in Japan under its current emperor, Tsuji, Umino and Narita will now be considered the Reiwa Three Musketeers. With hopes high for all three, they look forward to your continued support.

To celebrate this distinction, Tsuji, Umino and Narita will all soon be available to play int he NJPW Strong Spirits mobile game.

IF I had to gauge right now who would be the most successful of the three it's gotta be Shooter. Who knows maybe he wins the G1 Climax or New Japan Cup before the end of the Year.

For anyone wondering, Tsuji would be Chono, Umino would be Muto, and Narita would Hashimoto.

And of the three, I think Tsuji would be the stand out with Narita being behind, and Umino being last.

It terms of abilities I would say Umino is above them outta of the three. The people are behind Shooter way more to me than the other two but Tsuji is gaining ground in my opinion. Narita I'm still waiting to see that personality come out of him. I've said the same thing about YOH and Master Wato plenty of potential but they just feel like guys to me vs true Stars ready to take the mantle.

That's fine, I just disagree.
