Akira Tozawa

Potential world champion material, because he can be silly, but he's also shown he can be very serious as well.

Tozawa I would put in that same category.

Maybe not NXT championshi- uh, champion material, but you could easily make a North American title and have him be very, very, uh, entertaining.

In the, in the...

I, I'm, I'm reading that out there, but I realize that Tozawa's a bit older.

Does that matter in NXT anymore? I don't know, but I think Tozawa, woefully underutilized as well.

Ethan Page I'm throwing in there because the way his main roster run is going, it's just petering out already, isn't it? It's such a massive shame.

Tyler and P- uh, Pete, they speak for themselves.

that those two are ones but like that was one that was very clearly like in the moment it was like hey we're just trying with this guy why are you taking the belt away from him like that but in reality it was like the right move and especially for someone like naruki doi man 2020 if it played out a different way for him uh he we already talked about him much differently than we how we talked about him in 2019 but In the moment, that one was kind of a little bit of like, oh, I was really attached to Benkei and that one kind of got me.

And then, yeah, like when Tozawa lost the Bravegate, that one kind of got me.

But I mean, that's me as the Tozawa fan.

I'm kind of glad that I don't have to go through yet 10 more years of Tozawa losing Dreamgate matches, you know? So like, I mean, there is like that.

But I really go to those two Dreamgate matches.

But I feel like that those were the decisions in different ways that kind of got me.

Yeah, because they're the longest in most defenses, yeah.

And that was in 2019.

But I feel like that those were the decisions in different ways that kind of got me Yamato just because it did not feel like that Kai was a legitimate possible Dreamgate champion.

Yeah, because they're the longest in most defenses, yeah.

And that was in 2019.

It's prepping you for a AAA run.

Grayson Waller, NXT, Tozawa, Lyra, and Ivy Nile.

Ivy Nile has just been a mainstay on Main Event.

Mrs.

But the show this week featured The Vision kicking off the program to brag about being whole once again following the return of Bronson Reed.

This led to Alpha Academy's Akira Tozawa and the returning Otis coming out to interrupt.

Otis then beat Austin Theory via disqualification after outside interference from Reed and Braun Breaker.

Post-match, Oba Femi came out to fight off the vision until the numbers got the better of him.

Jasper Troy.

He lost to Tozawa.

So he's-

He lost to Tozawa.

I know this one.

This one right here, that s- had me scratching my head.

Have him beat Thierry, who let's just be real here.

Everybody on the roster can beat even Tozawa.

Yeah.

So, like, just have them, you know, boom, beat them.
