Team 2000X

[7.0] "I like this group but they should've kept it smaller and stayed with Ozawa, Tatsu, Morris, Daga, Owadasan"

[5.0] "I think Team 2000X represents so much about what I dislike/like about NOAH. At first I thought this faction was going to be absolute dogshit, as back in 2024 I thought you couldn't get any more uninteresting starting members than Jack Morris, Yoshi-Tatsu and especially fucking Daga, but somehow that changed almost instantly as soon as OZAWA joined in late that year. Like seriously, OZAWA overnight made what seemed like a meme-faction filled with NOAH lower-midcarders into something special, and I don't want it to be understated how important Taishi Ozawa has been to both Team2000X and NOAH's as a whole recently. I think he MADE NOAH last year, even though it is sad how he's got seemingly less exciting towards the end of his GHC championship reign. Additionally, bringing in Yu Owada and especially Omos also at first seemed like head-scratching and possibly terrible decisions, but Omos somehow fit his role like a glove and a similar thing can be said about Owada too. I do think that this Omos' departure after only 21 days to return to his usual routine of doing absolutely jackshit was the first sign that this factions existence was going to be somewhat problematic, as looking back it didn't result in any long-term positives and it's a shame giving how it doesn't seem like he's going to come back. Omos also made me a believer in a incredibly short amount of time, and I do hope I'm wrong about the last part. But anyway, I do think that this type of shit-eating almost House Of Torture like faction really helped the more sports-entertainment like NOAH that we've seen recently, as any other previous faction seemed far too fucking bland to really build any excitement in comparison, and Team2000X really at first seemed like a sudden shot of adrenaline and madness that freshened up NOAH's main event instantly. Nonetheless, this faction does have one big glaring problem, and that is how NOSAWA simply cannot properly pace how factions are built. Like seriously, we are around 10 months into Team2000X's lifecycle, and there has been 12 times someone has joined or left the faction, a number that includes it's TWO BEGINNING ACTIVE MEMBERS. That is simply far too fucking much shit happening without enough time to properly smooth things out, it makes the faction seem unsorted and chaotic in a bad way, as it makes it the faction seemed poorly booked rather than actually achieving any actually productive 'Wrestle Magic' bullshit that is stolen from 2000s AJPW. I simply can't be that into a faction's drama and storylines if I cannot recall them because something new is happening each and every week, I simply do not work that way. This is especially true given how much of this I feel wasn't even necessary, as in my opinion Tetsuya Endo makes a far better Team2000X royalist rather than a begrudged ex-member, Takashi Sugiura simply doesn't fit in with the factions theme given how he's 50+ years old and doesn't really add anything that Endo couldn't anyway, I literally forgot that Krull existed and how Daga leaving the faction I feel is completely pointless as I couldn't care less about him as a wrestler. Of course there has been good additions to the faction since 2024, but it's been far too fast-paced that these things haven't felted as special as they should've been if things were otherwise. This is especially true when it comes to Jack Morris and Daga's departure, as these things felt random at the time and far too much possible investment was wasted with their lack of buildup. I do hope that this faction is able to find a common ground with it's current landscape, as I do think that Masa Kitamiya as a almost co-leader can be incredibly good, and he's definately the best addition since OZAWA. But overall, I'm not as hopeful as I want to be, and I think it's a more than fair judgement to make that this faction isn't as good as it should be."

[2.0] "Right so, Ozawa left All Rebellion to start Team 2000X, an inspired namesake of Chono's faction, exciting. Jack Morris and Daga involved from the get go, decent choices. Omos, a below average yet seemingly transformed WWE wrestler joined, winning the tag belts with Morris, okay this could be really interesting and different. Following that up with adding Endo from DDT, having him win the GHC National title and Ozawa, a jr., winning the GHC world title? This is when they hit their peak. Omos ended up coming to NOAH for a cup of coffee and then went home, Endo lost the belt pretty quickly, then Ozawa won it and instantly vacated it, devaluing it immensely. Adding people every 5 minutes who never offered much was more confusing. They have shed members and I hope Sugiura and Kitamiya add SOMETHING to this group. Team 2000X always seem to lose against All Rebellion or faces in 6 mans. Frustrating considering how great it could have been. If they keep a similar constellation for a year with members that fit the faction best, maybe they could turn it around."

[6.0] "Team 2000X is a somewhat decent heel faction taking over the ranks of NOAH. The standout for me is OZAWA for his unmatched heel charisma and the fact that he holds the Heavyweight is a testament to NOAH's faith in the young OZAWA. Everyone else in the group is decent or just doesn't do anything for me, just weak links to take the pin. EDIT: Ozawa isn't World Champion anymore and that's okay. Everyone here doesn't stand out to me other than OZAWA. [***]"

[8.0] "I really Enjoy team 2000x has a group Especially since OZAWA was made leader he has been killing it, but the one negative is too many people joined in such a short amount of time, at first it was DAGA, Jack morris, and Yoshi Tastsu but then "blink" oh they added Omos and Ozawa cool "blink" wait Tetsuya endo and owada? then omos leaves and they lost that edge that made them seem like a super group yk. still they could be a huge group for years to come."

[0.0] "Benefit of the doubt because of Omos, Owadasan and Jack Morris individually. But the rest along with group, total trash in Pro Wrestling NOAH. Generic, bleak, uninspiring and completely cheats in a pro wrestling company called Pro Wrestling NOAH, featuring champion names such as Kawada, Akiyama, Misawa, Kobashi. Fujita, Funaki, KENOH, Kenta, Edwards, Marufuji, Shiozaki, Sugiura, Ogawa, Suzuki, Kiyomiya etc! Legends of the ark and now the name OZAWA is in the record books and the VTR every title defense, completely BS how he won it in an unfortunate main event that only the live crowd enjoyed. This will age like milk and Yoshitatsu produced a very very bad faction."

[9.0] "Previously gave them a 5/10 , then a 7/10, and now I'm bumping them up to a 9 because this faction absolutely floored me with the trajectory they're on. Might as well settle with the 9 and watch them deliver because they haven't missed since OZAWA joined. Team 2000X is the definition of DUD to STUD because I was so worried they were dead in the water and the road to The New Year event completely shifted everything. The additions of OZAWA , Omos, Yu Owada, and now Tetsuy Endo have been brilliant. OZAWA has all the momentum in the world, Omos offers something no promotion in Japan has at the moment, Owada is embracing the faction, and Endo gets to sink his teeth into something new. The original three members feel like they're lacking but pairing Morris with Omos and possibly letting Daga and Owada go after the Jr tag titles is perfect for them. Yoshitatsu gets the crowd booing the second he gets involvement and has his place. They truly feel like a super group and remind me of NWO and BULLET CLUB. But still, I do wish they had a better name."

[9.0] "I love this faction, and the actual feud with all Rebellion, Kaito Kiyomiya, Kenoh ... The faction is great with Ozawa GHC champion and Morris & Omos as GHC Heavyweight Tag champion"
