I actually should clarify because Ed's post there makes me realize I'm not coming across quite right.

I think I tend to like Okada vs Naito matches more than the average, actually. I'm one of very few people that I saw go 5 stars on their WK12 match and I remember being above the mean on their 2016 matches as well. And if I was booking New Japan I would do Naito over Okada at WK14. It's just that I would also have him lose the title again no later than mid-year, and I think that would piss his fanbase off too.

Furthermore, my point was never that Naito is losing a significant amount of popularity. Far from it. In fact, I think he's almost immune, which is why I say that it's not a big deal if he never does win the big one. He'll make the company plenty of money as the 1B.

My point from the beginning is simply that I'm seeing an increasing number of people get flat out tired of the guy in the wake of this weekend, and I threw out what seemed to me like a perfectly plausible explanation as to why that might be. Is it a huge number? No. But I think a lot of Naito's fans sometimes wonder why others don't see what they do and I was merely trying to speak to that.
