Also, he treated the IC title worse than the HW title since he felt like it blocked him from getting a chance back at the IWGP HW title.

Also for everyone else:

@danryckert For a bit more context on why Naito treats the IC Belt like trash....

Naito used to be a super clean babyface years ago that the company was pushing super strong but the crowds didn't accept him as a top guy(think current day Roman Reigns but with a much cleaner look). In 2013, Naito won the G1 Climax and challenged Okada for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship for the main event in the Tokyo Dome. The crowds in Japan felt that was a weak main event, so NJPW held a poll on what should main event the Tokyo Dome and Tanahashi vs. Nakamura won the poll and they main evented in a match for the IC Championship over the Okada vs. Naito IWGP Heavyweight Championship match.

Naito left for a bit, went to Mexico, and came back a member of Los Ingobernables with a "I fucking hate NJPW" attitude. Eventually this new heel gimmick became huge in Japan and the crowd now accepts him as a main eventer. When he eventually won the IWGP Championship, he treated the belt like trash because he never forgave the company for taking away his main event at the Tokyo Dome. He did the same with the IC Title when he had that.

@matthewgm: usually I agree, but you need pretty good internet to stream 4K constantly. A lot of people still only have 5mb-15mb internet out here in BC, Canada.
