    Kazuchika Okada rose incredibly since 2012. And the seeds for Bullet Club's formation were planted so well. New Japan Pro-Wrestling does successful longterm storytelling most of the time that drew the attention to the product year after year.

      I don't think their Invasion Attack Match has been topped Bell to Bell, not that their Wrestle Kingdom Matches were awful, I just don't think New Japan fans want to see a Top Blue Eye lose. Seeing Okada in tears in 2015, or Tanahashi finally losing in 2016, portions of the audience for both moments, the fans hearts were crushed.
