I will be interested in this going forward, but I am wary of the idea of using Daniels the avatar character as a vehicle to just take jabs at the things you don't like (I once saw a short-lived 2004 NJPW diary where Vader took over as booker and Vader's mission statement was "no more foreigners, no more junior heavyweights getting pushed up to heavyweight. Again, this was 2004. That wasn't a thing, he was just being whiny about modern Nooj), just 'cause the Varsity Athletes being namedropped in particular makes me wary. It's not like these are guys Daniels has never heard of or meaningless greenhorn prospects Tony just shunted onto ROH for no reason. Josh Woods had been working for ROH since 2016 pre-shutdown and Tony Nese has been wrestling for almost 20 years. But, my initial wariness aside, like I said, I will be watching with interest.

I second Keita Yano, he's one of the best technical wrestlers most people have never heard of. I'd also like to suggest Hideki Suzuki from NOAH, Shibata might not have respect for the Green Ring, but he probably respects the final student of Billy Robinson.

Outside of women like Chihiro Hashimoto and Yuu (team 200kg of Sendai Girls) and Miyu Yamashita of TJPW, I know Taka Michinoku's JUST TAP OUT promotion has some joshi that might fit into VANGUARD.

MAIN EVENT FOR THE REAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP "The Realest Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata (c) vs. "Gracie Hunter" Kazushi Sakuraba Let's go, Shibata, you evil bastard. PIONEERS VS. PRODIGIES TAG TEAM DOUBLE MAIN EVENT PANCRASE DEATH SQUAD (Minoru Suzuki & Masakutsu Funaki) vs. Astronauts (Fuminori Abe & Takuya Nomura) I imagine the Old Men are gonna do some shenanigans and cheat to win because they're overwhelmed by the superior athleticism and ability of the younger team. THE FUTURE IS NOW! "Heir of the Never Dying Fighting Spirit" Daichi Hashimoto vs. "Crazy Kid" Masashi Takeda I've got a hope you're gonna continue building Baby Hashimoto to get his head kicked in by Shibata. GRAPPLING VS. STRIKING! "The Genius of the Armbar" Daisuke Nakamura vs. "Dynamite Puncher" Tyson Maeguchi Guessing that Maeguchi takes the win here purely on vibes. LEGENDS OF JR. WRESTLING "Yondaime Kogane no Tora" Tiger Mask IV vs. "The Orange Prince" Minoru Tanaka Tanaka should take his mask when he wins. FIRST TIME EVER "No nickname needed" Daijiro Matsui vs. "Godfather of BattlArts" Yuki Ishikawa Alright, now I want Ishikawa to win. GRUDGE MATCH "Realest Giant" Babatunde vs. "Hitman" Low Ki Yes, Babatunde. Crush the little man. I am entirely in on crazy mean bastard Shibata, what a great gimmick. I wonder if he has any feelings on the idea of booking Shinya Aoki, given that Aoki does comedy spots and lost to a woman. (Chihiro in Vanguard, maybe?)
