2005 was REALLY awesome with Blood Gen vs. Do FIXER just being epic, Mochizuki doing absolutly epic Dream Gate matches, and just awesome cards. 2006 featured Blood Gen vs. MOz, with MOz just having all this power and being really every heel in the company, which was stale. CIMA as a face, unless he's doing big singles matches like now, really isn't as good as heel. Plus, they lost monthly PPV and still hadn't worked the kinks out of the TV system they have now, so matches were hella clipped with not much good coming out. Plus, a REAL overreliance on gaijin with huge pushes for Jack Evans, Sydal, Steen, and others people felt didn't deserve it. Plus, Ryo Saito, future of the company, got berried in his first title reign, not making any successful defenses. 2007 has been much better with more even stables, CIMA doing great title matches, gaijin are still in but not overpushed, and TV has, on average, one really great, 20-25 minute match a show.
