Winner.
They put the title on him and even had him beat by far their biggest native draw Naito because of their desire to appeal to a foreign crowd. That's literally the same logic WWE did when they put a world title on Jinder Mahal.
That's all I'm saying. If people are fine with what NJPW are doing and also didn't have a problem with the reason why WWE strapped a rocket to Jinder, then fair play.
I say this as one of the few people who don't hate Jinder at all, but I think guys like Jericho and Omega have far more legitimacy to go along with deciding to put the title on them. What would an example of a foreign jobber in NJPW getting the title be, if any? Scott Norton? He was sorta legit too though, no?
Jinder gives me throwback vibes, which is probably why I don't hate him like most people do.
