Like the Golden Lovers story, or Okada vs Tanahashi which the old ace vs the new ace

Okay, because I love wrestling for the story. I was talking to a friend about how I don't get the Riddle hype, so he sent me some of his matches, and I think the reason I don't like him is that he's just a wrestler

Like Tanahashi even in a win win over Minoru Suzuki, but not after Minoru destroyed his legs. Tana struggled for the next couple of matches because of the injuries

And there's a little more Western influence right now too, with the president stepping out to stop a cheating heel faction

Watch Okada vs Tanahashi and it will remind you of Piper vs Bret at one of the Wrestlemanias

Okada lost the championship and seems lost. Guys like Zach Sabre Jr. have unique styles that when you look at cards, it's easy to wonder how someone would escape and fight back against a littany of submission holds
