Catching up on the semi-finals of the Best of Super Juniors from NJPW ... it's been a perfectly fine tournament. A diverse group of talents that had quite a few bangers along the way to the semis. Feels like a changing of the guard in the division with many believing that Hiromu (and possibly another major player?) is heavyweight bound sooner than later.
And therein lies the big difference I believe that's upon us: the junior division is certainly stocked with talent, but it's also years if not a decade away from getting anywhere near the level that Hiromu has taken it.
It returns to being an entertaining undercard component, because I don't see anything in the division that can get into a serious main event discussion for a major show. Nothing wrong with that .. but it's definitely going to be different.
