My G1 Climax 35 postmortem post @voiceswrestling is more relevant today than it was a few months ago. "In an Aceless NJPW, Takeshita isn’t the Ace — but he could be the bridge. Whether the company chooses to cross it will define what comes next, and perhaps what it means to be

Likely unintentional, and perhaps unrelated, but Joel’s post made me wonder: does “Ace” automatically imply babyface? https://t.co/3E16nuSLVq

Really interesting read. Takeshita could definitely fill the ace-shaped void at the top of the NJPW roster, but trying to gaslight fans into accepting him as a babyface is the wrong move IMO. Lean into the organic invading heel dynamic and the payoff will be much more satisfying.

Second place for my friend @JeremyLDonovan… This is the G1, so of course tiebreakers matter, and the winner nailed the whole final. … UNFORTUNATELY, Jeremy (and KISS) are ineligible since they contributed a prize. … Who knew I’d turn into a heel authority figure
CONGRATUL- *checks notes* 2nd place (joint 1st?) for @JeremyLDonovan!! (and @YB_JoshinLiger via proxy) We’re proud of you!! 🎉🎉🎉
