Predicting Where EVERY NJPW Wrestler Will Be In 5 Years Time

70. David Finlay

The Golden Elite WWE
NJPW

Finlay's a curious one. He never went on excursion after graduating from Young Lion status, and while he wrestles with fire, New Japan have never felt compelled to push him beyond the lower-midcard. Let's be optimistic, though...

Prediction: NEVER Openweight Title contender.
