CHAOS lost its identity when Nakamura left.
Whereas LIJ, Suzuki-Gun, and Bullet Club all have a clearly defined place, CHAOS has basically turned into a random clusterfuck of other people who need a faction.

Since the rise of LIJ, I feel like Chaos and Bullet Club have taken a back seat. I like The Elite part of Bullet Club, but the rest just seem to be floundering. And yes, feuding over the Never 3-man titles is floundering.
Agreed. I believe Ishii would be better off on his own and possibly the same for YOSHI-HASHI if he got an edge for himself.
I really want to see Tama Tonga and Bad Luck Fale create the split and have basically everyone else in BC vs. The Elite with Bullet Club coming out on top because that faction created so much buzz for New Japan. The Elite can take the loss and start from scratch while not losing their fan base.
Don't jump off the side of a ladder or you might end up like Nanae Takahashi. She apparently felt some numbness, but otherwise okay.
Yano is pretty much the only one out of Chaos that I like. Haven't seen a whole lot of Ishii, but I probably should remedy that. He seems to have a rabid fanbase. I'm not really a fan of the new Coach Rocky, though Beretta is alright in the context of BEST FRIENDS. I'm not really sure he can stand on his own yet as a singles star. Hopefully the bump up to heavyweight gives him some direction. R3K are starting to grow on me as well. Ospreay is cool too, but it seems like he's just there for the sake of being there. I never see him interact with any of the other Chaos guys aside from the occasional tag, and making the save vs the likes of BC, LIG, and SG. I'm tired of Okada.
Suzuki Gun and Chaos actually have a similar problem where the members seem to be there just for the sake of it. I get that SG are meant to be the bad motherfuckers and all, but like... Where's the chemistry? LIJ and BC (for the most part) seem to have that part down.
All that said, all stables pale in comparison to Taguchi Japan.
Edit: Legit forgot YOSHI-HASHI was in Chaos...
Damn, never thought that many shared my sentiments, let alone one person is tired of Okada, like me. I admire Okada’s talent, i definitely believe he deserves the status he’s in, but i am getting tired of him.
I somewhat took his promo after the main event as somewhat a heel. Not sure if this will be a build to a full double switch, but Naito is white hot and the program with Jericho is going to make him molten hot. One way would be to have another match but with some questionable things done by Okada which prompts a rematch where Naito finally goes over.
Getting tired of Okada's reign at the top is absolutely the point. From the time of last year's WK where everyone wanted Kenny to win, Okada's entire storyline has everyone waiting to see when he finally slips up. I'm not saying Gedo has handled it perfectly, but the extremely long term booking in NJPW is jarring for everyone used to how WWE does things.
They get away with it partially because there's so much less air time, as opposed to WWE producing so much content on a weekly basis.
And I personally think it should be Naito who unseats Okada and not Omega. That would give Omega the chance to have another epic program with someone he clearly has chemistry with and eventually get his first IWGP 'Ship.
Speaking if Naito, fucking love that guy. I need his new shirt that he was rocking, asap.
I'm still pretty new to New Japan; does IWGP govern any other organizations or is it just them? They seem to have all of their titles.
IWGP is NJPW, it's all the same company.
I gotcha, I didn't know if it was like the NWA used to be here.
Rollins vs. Sheamus for Raw. Some fresh content right there folks.
Christy Hemme just popped out quadruplets this past weekend.
How can they have so many wrestlers working for them and not be able to keep matches fresh. Even during the never-ending HHH-Rock feud they usually only actually wrestled one another on PPV.
It's honestly why I've stopped watching weekly programming sans NXT if I remember. I'd rather watch NJPW, ROH, and I need to catch up on LU. Not to mention all of the other random things you can find online. I love a lot of the talent in WWE but the creative, camera work, and overall nonsense is a complete turn off to watch.
The next team has been announced for the MMC from Raw: Asuka and The Miz.
