hey all,
happy post-WrestleMania. yes, it may suck that Asuka's streak is over, but I
thought Charlotte was a good opponent, plus the Empress must be relieved to
have the monkey (said streak) off her back, but that's a different topic. I was
watching WRESTLETALK NEWS and they mentioned that several members
of New Japan Wrestling were in the crowd taking the festivities in. namely,
Hiroshi Tanahashi and Minoru Suzuki. in fact, Luke or Olie said that Tanahashi
found it hilarious that fellow countryman Shinsuke Nakamura turned heel and
lowblowed AJ Styles. so I was wondering why were Suzuki-san and Tanahashi-san
there.
1. did they simply want to enjoy the experience like everyone else?
2. did they want to see for themselves how the WWE does a PPV special?
3. might they be looking for another company to wrestle for (assuming there's interest)?
4. did they want to show support for fellow countrymen Asuka and Shinsuke?
three of the four are probably yeses. as for #3, as I said it assumes there might
be interest in coming to the WWE, but that is up to them. Tanashi may find
popularity there and Suzuki would be a perfect heel, scaring and beating up
the roster. of course, the little I saw on a clip after an NJPW event when he teamed
with Zack Saber Jr. his English may be a bit rudimentary, plus I'm not sure how Vince
and Company would like his tendency to beat up everyone in sight from the ref
to the ring hands. though someone said he actually is cool out of the ring and
likes jazz and anime/magna. plus, he did make Asuka what she is so imagine
that mixed tag team, especially in the next Mae Young Classic. thoughts?
