Background: Maria sent out a tweet that said that she and Bennett still 'could' work NJPW. Of course, that means that TNA's contracts allow you to work anywhere and not that NJPW actually wants to book them or any other TNA talent. Mecca, of course, reacts rationally.

TNA's apparent shift on talents working NJPW is crucial. NJPW has been saving ROH's rear end in terms of keeping talent away from TNA.

Chris Regal Moderator
We don't know that NJPW is willing to use TNA talents, even though TNA is open to it. But NJPW must realize that the exposure they get from their partnership with ROH is minimal at best here in the US. I'm pretty confident that almost every ROH fan is familiar with NJPW or already watches their shows.

However, TNA has a lot of more fans who haven't even heard of NJPW so it would benefit them to at least be open to a civil relationship with TNA.

Yeah NJPW, you've already got all of ROH's fans. Time to get the 300K TNA fans that mostly watch because they fell asleep during Days of Our Lives.

That depends on whether you qualify GFW as an actual promotion.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

I'm pretty sure that if you total up the complete match time of all the NJPW talents that did tours in TNA (Okada, Nakamura, Tana, Naito and Yuijiro) it would work out to be less than TNA talent got on WK 5 alone.

I think Matt Hardy just won the main belt but TNA would pull in the same ratings at this point if it was just Eric Young crying in a janitors closet as he looks more and more like a meth hobo so your point still stands

Neville doesn't have any tattoos though. Thought it may be about clearly defined sixpacks, but then AJ isn't really that ripped to Seth and Neville.

You'd HAVE to be racist to not like the push of Roman "apparently got Hero's spot in the Shield" "Gotta make Roman look strong" "magic BEANS" "sufferin' succotash, son!" "Balee Dat" "tater tots, hehehe" Reigns

There's gotta be a reason people hate the guy who puts out so many high quality matches yet forgive others for poor promos or a lame push by just blaming WWE.

I usually go with "wow, people who hate Roman Reigns are stupid."

You might be right about them being racist instead.
