Man, Harper in New Japan would be fucking ace.
He might want out -- but that reads to me more like he wants to stand out. Fuck, it's kind of heart-breaking hearing people at the gym ask if he's retired, haha.
He's been a darkhorse pick for me to sneak out the Andre Battle Royal at Mania. Not that that means anything. It might seem like an easy Braun or Owens victory, but I can see the SNL guys fucking over Braun and I can see Owens, frankly, just not caring about getting it and wanting to put someone else over. Him going ga-ga for Kofi makes me think he's eventually going to turn on him anyway, because they don't really have solid plans, I don't think.
Harper sneaking in and taking the thing just to say "He's back" would not shock me.
Fuck me, there was a window a few years ago where he was just fucking brilliant. I hope he still can be. He's surprisingly good as a babyface. I loved his match with Orton at Fastlane two years ago. The crowd didn't care at first, but you could tell they got into him playing the face.
