Bruh Jay White just called himself THE REAL BELT COLLECTOR in professional wrestling and if anyone has a problem with that then come find him

 

[Chris]

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

plus hes still eader of BC japan yes? im sure kenny finds this laughable in kayfabe as well

 

[Chris]

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

yeah no one buys EVIL as a leader of anything. hes still LIJ to me dammit

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Are BC no longer Gaijin Heels Club or smth?

 

[Chris]

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
