Hirooki Goto is always a name mentioned in possible winners whenever the line-up for a New Japan tournament is announced. Over the years, he has cemented his ability in these events through his numerous New Japan Cup and G1 wins. Yet, despite winning many tournaments, he’s never fulfilled his potential to go forward and win the title.
However, this could all change this year. Goto has been collecting titles during the past year after a hugely successful NEVER 6-Man title run and now being IWGP Heavyweight Tag champions with YOSHI HASHI. He has been picking up big wins and overcoming odds to showcase his talent to fans.
Even though tournaments during the past few years have gone how Goto would like it, he’s got all the momentum on his side. After teaming with YOSHI HASHI, Goto has been on a wave of success and is in the best place possible for the tournament. With years of experience and added confidence, it could be enough to get his third tournament win.
