Okada would pretty much need Heyman, or some sort of manager as a mouthpiece. Be billed as a wrestling machine.

Raw really had Sasha/Bayley sitting in chairs and talking to Alexa Bliss in the ring two weeks in a row?

 

[B Sox]

Yeah I mean that could easily be the result. Not even arguing that.

And Bliss will be doing the same sort of thing with Ronda & Nia this Monday!

Only talent WWE should try to get from NJPW is Okada, Naito, and G.O.D..

they should try to stop poaching talent and use the overbloated roster they already have

WWE reportedly has interest in another top star from New Japan Pro Wrestling - current IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion KUSHIDA, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

There has been talk of signing KUSHIDA for weeks and that talk has picked up as of late. KUSHIDA is currently under contract to NJPWuntil the end of January and he's scheduled to defend his title against Taiji Ishimori at the big WrestleKingdom 13 show on January 4 at the Tokyo Dome.

Regarding WWE's interest in KUSHIDA, The Observer notes that we shouldn't be hearing about WWE possibly signing him because he's under contract to NJPW. This could be a sign that WWE is getting even more aggressive with signing talents and not caring about contracts. There's a feeling that no one would take action against WWE for talking with contracted talents, with the possible exception of MLW and ROH. That's not to say NJPW wouldn't take any action against WWE but it would be a difficult process as they are based in Japan.

KUSHIDA is not the only NJPW talent that WWE has their eyes on and his signing obviously is not a done deal, but they are confident about him potentially coming in as they have discussed one idea that would see him used on the WWE NXT brand.

Not Surprised. KUSHIDA has done a lot outside of NJPW and he's practically the Jushin Liger of this generation. He's the Rich Man's TOZAWA for WWE though. I'm sure everyone heard about the Naito/WWE meeting, where he left them at the restaurant? Yeah he's never going to WWE.

If WWE focused on complete competition (maybe the Fox Smackdown will), Okada could definitely thrive. He'd have to go on a run like he did in NJPW. Dude can succeed anywhere when it's between the ropes.

D deleted come get this man

I passed out immediately as the show started last night will peep the main events in a bit.

Kushida could be solid in NXT/205. He's done a lot of work with ROH. I'd assume his English is probably somewhat decent.
