He's already 29. He has to be fast track if he debuting at WK?
We've seen this story play out before, even Kitamura took a while. Wolf might debut with a W at WK but after that....

Only way he's fast tracked is if Gedo himself recruited him and got him to sign under the promise of quick "stardom". Which is possible but I wouldn't bet on it.

Apparently he’s not even going to be a Young Lion, training there but not having to do the full Young Lion experience. And debuting at WK 20, which to me seems like one they would want to make a big deal because it’s a round #.

So yeah he’s definitely being fast tracked. But he’s been training for a while with Great-O-Khan so it’s not like they just signed someone who doesn’t even know how to run the ropes.

Wrestle Kingdom 20 will be broadcasted on TV in Japan for the first time since 2004.

All because of Aaron Wolf. I pray he's good. If he is something special is about to happen.

For context - that Japanese figure skater literally does sold out stadium solo shows off the strength of being an Olympic gold medalist. Western wrestling media is fast asleep on how huge a deal this is.

Tanahashi’s retirement match is pretty significant as well.
