I dont really understand why TNA doesnt bring in more guys from New Japan. I thought they had that talent trading deal or something like that? They could free up roster space by firing Kip James, BG James, Black Reign, Rellik (thats killer spelled backwards), and Shark Boy (yes...I said Shark Boy). And they can replace them with some talented guys from New Japan, it can help get people interested in TNA and ofcourse, those guys can put on some great matches.

You know what? Maybe its Vince Russo who is the problem. I am not one of those Russo haters but dont you guys remember him saying, "Nobody cares about Japaniese wrestlers. If I wanted to see high flying I would go to mexico".

^ Yes the Japanese Wrestlers are very talented, you could fire four of the men above :shifty: and hire four more very good Japanese wrestlers...Sharkboy's good just needs to lose the gimmick/gimmicks :lol:

I watch a little NJPW, but they're not as good as they were 15 years ago. It still would be a big step up for them to get NJPW's younger guys like Hiroki Goto, Nakamura and Tanahashi, with some of the older legends like Nagata, Masa Chono, and reunite Jado and Gedo.

But it would be hard and costly for them to bring them in. They would have to do all the work visa and passprt stuff, pay for airfare, and have to pay for their stay basically. That's just one of the downfalls.

If ROH can pull it off so can TNA.
I think it would benefit alot the X Division

I actually think they might use some New Japan guys for the World X Cup, speaking of that, when the hell is it going to start? They anounced it's return a while ago

Getting rid of thses guys will help to, Kip James, BG James, Black Reign, Rellik (thats killer spelled backwards). even if they only get a couple of Japanese wrestlers from releasing these guys will benefit TNA

Edit: I am not sure when the X-cup will be starting...

I think TNA would rather have "homegrown" superstars as opposed to someone they're admitting is from a partner company. It's different from ROH because they probably won't be holding the championships, and they can't really do promos, which is a downside because that's TNA's number one thing. And the number of segments with someone like Shark Boy making fun of the Japanese will be pretty bad too.

Why would they fire them? Those men appear on almost every Impact! Some wrestlers haven't been in action for a while and their still on the list?

I think one of the reasons they won't bring them in permanently is because the NJPW guys have to always be able to be at their shows. So if a NJPW show collided with a TNA PPV, that may deplete the card.

I would like to see Tanahashi get a go in TNA though, as I think he definately has the look to be a successful wrestler in TNA. Hiroshi Tanahashi ftw!

imo the guys chessarmy stated should be fired. They are useless especially Black Reign and RelliK they are shocking in the ring and yes the new japan wrestlers could put on great matches. So instead of having dickheads like Sharkboy and Curryman along with the four already stated putting on shit matches they couldl have people who are serious doing it.

TIger Mask is a god, all 4 of them.

TNA can bring in one or two NJPW workers and build them up to look very good and credible, like Nagata because of his match in Global Impact. Or if they want to go the comedy route, theyh can always bring in Hard Gay...
