Predicting Where EVERY NJPW Wrestler Will Be In 5 Years Time

46. Shota Umino

Umino is a fiery little bastard with more gusto than even his liveliest Young Lion cohorts. This, coupled with his size, look, and advanced skills (for a man with just 18 months experience) make it easy to project great things going forward.

Prediction: Ready to break out as a main eventer.

Andy is as much a fan of 1985 Jim Crockett Promotions as he is present-day AEW and WWE - just don't make him choose between the two.
