Blaming House of Torture for anything is fucking retarded.
You're ignoring the systematic issue that is their failure to build any new stars, knew guys like Okada, Ospreay, and Jay White were leaving while having NONE of them put over anyone. Naito is gone. The two guys who've held your main title this year were fucking midcard 4 life two years ago. The booking revolves around everyone looking bad. SANADA is running a Seth Rollins gimmick as a two bit weeny in House of Torture. You pulled the trigger on Shota while making sure he was made to look like a fucking geek and went through a humiliation ritual. You have guys the crowd wants to like more but you fail to give them anything meaningful to do, and when you did it was "Hey Junior, you're main eventing Wrestle Kingdom for the IWGP title." Why is the fucking Global title on some nutcase who's gonna jump ship to AEW anyway. With all these divisions and belts they fail to use any of them to allow people to do anything other than "You hold the belt and then you lose". It's all around the IWGP title, which the booking for that has been absolutely retarded ever since Ibushi lost the briefcase but still got a title shot. NJPW is poisoned for more reasons than Takeshita's part timer bullshit and House of Torture. Now because they fucked themselves into a corner, they have no choice to put a G1 Climax win on a guy who won't be there often, just because he's a bigger star and gets more reaction than some jabroni like Ren Narita.
