WWE and NJPW Reportedly in "Talks"

[Kairi HoHo]

Till I see multiple talents from NJPW on WWE TV then I'll believe it till they these talks mean nothing to me. For sure I wanna see Companies come together and work and make a big Show happen but I see it more towards WWE side and their egos wanting to keep that mindset that were bigger and better than anyone else. I hope that changes going forward because the possibilities are endless with matchups if it happens down the road. Just make sure Gedo doesn't book shit he'll want to change all the Champions for his talent to hold within a Week

The reason I'm so against it, is being ICW and Progress Wrestling has just been tainted by their WWE Influences - and are just basically a shell of their former selves.

You can't compare ICW or Progress to NJPW though. New Japan is a whole different level.

It is relevant though, because these partnerships and the creation of NXT UK - led to wrestlers who worked for others promotions being blacklisted.

I'd just rather see WWE up their own game first and foremost before I'd really be super into this potential partnership. I'm not gonna skip something like Ibushi vs. Rollins or Ishii vs. Sheamus tho.

Ibushi vs Rollins

Honestly I'm just excited about the potential for match-ups this would allow, but I can see why some might be concerned about it.

Hopefully no company falls for that. Just look at what WWE did to the rising British indie scene. Well they did some of it to themselves but still.

Hell just look at ANY company the WWE partners with. They always turn into shells of their former selves. WCW was, mostly, a fair and incompetent partner to New Japan. WWE ain't WCW.

I was really worried about the talks of them buying Noah a while back. This news makes it even more obvious they're trying to get a foothold somewhere.

WWE gonna finally get some five-star matches because they were held in the Tokyo Dome.

I say fuck it, let it happen. Screw other companies, it's all about the

Reigns vs Okada


KENTA vs Hideo Itami

Well, WWE haven't NOT tried to suppress potential competitors in the past.

Like who? Haven't seen them fuck with any company since AWA and Crockett.

Reigns vs Okada

Yeah, that'd be huge. I'm guessing that is likely the biggest match they could do right now. It even has a nice ring to it 'Reigns vs Rainmaker'

 

[CakeWalker]

I don't think one New Japan fan would be excited about Roman Reigns working with anyone, other than Toru Yano.

 

[Deezy]

Well, we call those fans "IDIOTS".

Luckily we have none of those here

I have a feeling this will fall apart quickly after it's put together. As long as Vince is there you know he'll screw it up somehow.

I mean it can happen, without it being exclusive that's possible.
