The comparison to other "we were there" moments is interesting, but I would wait before putting it in that category. Wrestling history is full of huge nights that felt like the start of something, only for the follow-up not to match the hype.

That does not take away from the achievement. It just means the real story is still being written. The next year will tell us much more than one match.

The biggest thing Oba has going for him is that he feels different. A lot of wrestlers are talented, but not everyone has that feeling where the audience immediately believes they are dangerous.

The company needs to avoid making him too polished too quickly. Sometimes leaving a little rough edge is what makes a powerhouse character work.

Brock losing is always interesting because it usually means the company sees something in the person beating him. They do not hand those wins out casually.

Now comes the fun part: who is next? The worst move would be throwing him into random matches with no story. Let him build a reputation instead of just collecting victories.

Still processing this one because it is the kind of result that changes how you view future matches. Before this, Oba was a huge prospect. After this, people are going to look at him differently.

The only danger is rushing. Wrestling has a habit of finding a hot new star and immediately asking them to carry the entire universe on their shoulders. Maybe let the guy breathe a little :)
