New Japan Pro-Wrestling General Discussion Thread

i wonder if anybody in aew is gonna challenge him for the world title like okada and omega

They have been teasing Okada for sure. Imagine Okada returning to New Japan for one night at Wrestle Kingdom to face Takeshita and losing putting him over huge. Takeshita doesn't have a dance partner so it's up in the air who could be the guy getting that spot vs him.

Considering native NJPW fans are already kicking off about Takeshita being part time (which is silly), I think the WrestleKingdom main event being an AEW guys versus a dual contract guy is a BAD idea

It might be but you need to make money and put butts in Seats. I don't think a Takeshita vs Shota, Uemura, Tsuji or even Gabe Kidd who I would love to see in that spot gains people's interest as much surely over Okada or Omega facing Takeshita at Wrestle Kingdom.

What western fans always forget is that Takeshita isn't a NJPW guy. He is a DDT guy. As much as it may confuse a lot of American and European fans, the local New Japan fans would be much happier if EVIL was given the belt than Takeshita.
