Jushin Thunder Liger coming to NXT Takeover

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

at the thought of MiSu watching Bull Dempsey trying to have a match. He might just kill him.

Imagine anyone who pisses off management being fed to

Zack Ryder might die in the ring, brehs.


The factor of a

v

match. Makabe would beat him so black and blue that Vince would demand Sheamus' gimmick be changed to Avatar.


The thought of NJPW being about to bless us with a month's worth of piff even has Hunter like 'Fukk it...

Though who is the bigges sociopath between Kevin Owens and Minoru Suzuki

Owens is already in a bunch of beefs, including beef with characters who have pretty much done nothing to him.

At last count:

Cena, Cesaro, Rusev, Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, Hideo Itami, Sami Zayn, Byron Saxton, Machine Gun Kelly's music and Machine Gun Kelly

That's 10 right there


Watching them try to one up each other across two continents would be

Dirt sheets are getting serious.

Apparently there are potentially groundbreaking talks between WWE and NJPW on talent sharing and cross promotion, beyond just having Jushin Thunder Liger at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.



Speculation seems to veer as to how this will affect ROH - Some say they'll get cut out (and that a grudge is being held over the Kevin Steen action figure, of all things), but it seems the common safe bet is banking on both stateside companies to make more money by working together.

My opinions? Anyone who watched Beast In The East, and all of the surrounding programming around it, was probably shocked in some way by the unprecedented acknowledgement and outright naming of other promotions and accomplishments. You've had mentions and sporadic nods over the years, but this was an embracing like none other.

Everybody can have their lane and strengthen each other. There are clearly folks with a vision, the connections to make things happen, and the diplomacy to see the money right.

@Silkk @Honga Ciganesta @3Rivers thoughts?

If Vince has ANY say in this it will fall through. Cena cannot in any way go over Okada (IWGP Champions never lose stateside). The Young Bucks will not be welcomed. And can you imagine Vince watching the Ishii/Makabe match?

"Someone is going to die in there! "

I think this is a good move for both sides. I can see the beast in the east being a cross promotion event next year and both sides developing a trade agreement where they trade their younger talent for learnig/development tours.

It could also be more beneficial to some guys who have nothing to do as well they can get some extra bookings in Noah/NJPW.

I've read that Liger is allowed to book himself internationally. I'm guessing that's what took place here, although I wonder what a hypothetical roh/nxt partnership would involve

Adam Cole BAYBAY!!!

 

[The Rainmaker]

Alvarez and Meltzer are insinuating that, while WWE is working with NJPW, is also trying to CRUSH ROH by booking the smaller venues for NXT.

If that's true (always take whatever the WO says with doubts), that's a bad move in my opinion. ROH has provided a lot of big stars from them, and they probably will never reach the level of, let's say, WCW. So, they should let them cook.

If this happens what will all the wwe sucks guys have to say ?

But now ROH is able to keep guys they really really want now with Sinclair. Plus let's be honest they blatantly leeching off wwe shows by running in the same areas .

Cole probably gonna end up leaving for WWE soon anyway, he's done all he can in ROH

Oh you mean the 1 time a year that every indy descends upon WM weekend?

 

[Prince Akeem]

This pretty much confirms wwe is trying to kill the indy scene though NXT.

And? That doesn't mean ROH wrestlers will never go to WWE tryouts ever again, or that all of a sudden ROH shows will reach 10000 fans.

Problem is (again, if all this is really true) WWE wants to become an all purpose system and have the indies under its control. They should know better at this point.

Agreed, it's much easier for WWE to attract indy fans than it is for ROH to draw WWE fans. You can't beat WWE's media presence, global reach and production quality. Indy fans will always want to see their favourites on a bigger stage and people who are accustomed to only watching WWE will be deterred from watching cause of ROH's barebones production values
