Predicting Where EVERY NJPW Wrestler Will Be In 5 Years Time

35. Toa Henare

Henare looks set to continue Tomohiro Ishii's legacy as a fierce, grumpy, hard-hitting brawler, and NJPW's foremost purveyor of fighting spirit. Their 2018 singles match was excellent.

Prediction: Four-star match machine, internet favourite, former midcard champion, and perennial Wrestling Observer 'Best Brawler' contender.
