Predicting all the 16 teams for NJPW: World Tag League 2018

#8 CHAOS (Tomohiro Ishii and Hirooki Goto)

Now if you're a regular follower of NJPW, you'd probably expect Ishii to team up with Toru Yano at the World Tag League, whereas, Goto probably goes off to team up with someone like Yoshi-Hashi.

However, we know for the fact that both Ishii and Goto are quite possibly two of New Japan's most underrated performers and deserve a bigger piece of the pie, so what if NJPW instead decides to cut-off all the comedy crap and let these two hard-hitting men team up with each other.

Both Ishii and Goto will surely have some outstanding chemistry with each other and will definitely one of the favorites to win this year's World Tag League and eventually challenge for the tag titles at the Tokyo Dome. Regardless of everything else in issue, one thing is for sure that fans will definitely be a lot more invested in this tag team, instead of a team featuring Yano and Ishii.
