It'll be okay, not everyone is good enough to make the world big enough for them like Okada. He beat Tanahashi so badly at the Dome that Nakamura and Styles are running scared. Obviously.

I assume Anderson is going to NXT since he's been hinting about it on twitter for basically forever

There's a new Observer Radio up now that says it is discussing it, don't know if there is any new information in there.

AJ, Doc, Karl, and Nakamura. Whatever, NJPW will be fine. Nakamura stings the most to me.

My gut says he's the most likely to hang out in NXT forever, maybe doing some stuff with Balor. NowonSA fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Jan 5, 2016 |

well I guess I'm gonna cancel my NJPW World sub after this. I've had it since WK9, but I barely used it other than the G1 Climax. I'm just not invested enough to watch replays of the other shows, and without AJ or Nakamura,  instead I'll just replace NJPW with a steady stream of Shibata gifs

I wonder if Doc Gallows will be allowed to showcase some of his personality. He's not the greatest wrestler by any stretch of the imagination but I've been impressed by how funny and creative he can be listening to him on Talkin' Shop and it kind of blows my mind that his entire WWE run was about making him the big silent guy. Karl, AJ and Nakamura have so much potential it is crazy.

I imagine that all four are strictly NXT signings since they're trying to build that as a traveling brand and they need guys like that who can draw.

Short term very bad news for New Japan. They'll rebuild though. They've been needing to make new stars by the sounds of things anyway. Won't change anything in WWE though. Just wait for Vince to not "Get" Nakamura. The biggest casualty in this is the Talkin Shop podcast.

Anderson was pretty important backstage for New Japan wasn't he? I'd heard that he organised the bookings for the Gaijiin wrestlers.

Basic Chunnel posted:He's been down that road and has a well-known distaste for the WWE style. And if anyone stands to gain from this new NJPW void it's our man Kenny Yeah, it'll suck for NJPW to lose so much top talent, but at the same time it opens up a HUGE opportunity for other people to grow into big stars. I can easily see Kenny move up to the top Gaijin spot, Shibata will probably get more opportunities, and if you're a Young Lion on the verge of moving onto the roster proper guys moving up from the midcard to the top creates more room and time for you to start standing out, despite your inexperience.

Not his entire run, how quickly we forget Luke Gallows, although even then he wasn't talking much I guess. That run is why I figure he'll be in NXT forever, they get enough CM Punk chants as it is. AJ pretty obviously has the most potential to do well in the WWE system, though I'd love to see them finally give a japanese wrestler a good character and push. Assuming Daniel Bryan leaves his farm eventually he can finally have a match with Nakamura too, and if you can make that happen during a NXT special or house show in Japan...

I do agree that all four are the type of guys who are probably best served being in NXT to build that brand, and not having to deal with the chaos that is the main WWE roster. NXT crowds are going to lose their poo poo for Nakamura and AJ in particular. It also just occurred to me that with the Nakamura and AJ signings we're now one big step closer to bringing actual WWE in line with the crazy present-day (ish) WWE TEW sim thread.

They'll do a heartwarming, lengthy documentary about this guy coming from success in Japan and risking it all by moving to America to chase the dream of being dumped out casually by Big Show in a dark match Battle Royal.

Oh yeah I forgot that they're letting the occasional guy keep their names if they're just going to stay in NXT forever. Yeah that's totally what's up. It's probably almost as good a payday as NJPW with way few dates (no G-1 tournament of death for example), so it makes sense for both of them to go for it.
