When will someone challange Taru Yano to a no D.Q. match?

[edgehead1984]

I think you might see that with the U-30 title match.

I heard Heat let Naruse get squashed.....anyone else sensing a heel turn by Heat?

[edgehead1984]

I can't see Tanaka turn heel, he seems like the perfect face, like Liger always was.

[Haiku Warrior]

Especially with Liger's heel turn. Too much, too soon, I say.

I liked Naruse as a heel just liked he joined New Japan and defeated Tanaka (not Heat) for the IWGP Jr. It would be a good move, but not right away.
