I'm starting to think those two will be able to do a Five Star Classic blindfolded at this point.

There's an easy built in story too bc Jay White is calling himself the first quadruple crown champion in NJPW (IWGP Heavyweight, IC, US, and NEVER Openweight), and the Openweight title is the only one Kenny never won which is what Jay current holds

It's debatable but I think he's the official leader again now that he's back in Japan and EVIL's fucked off to do comedy shit against Yano

Not so much the gaijin aspect with KENTA, EVIL, Gedo, Jado, and now Dick Togo in it too lol with Yuj still there too. But I'd say they're still the same stable, just not the importance as before
