Who are they talking about in terms of njpw stars? They can make their opinions but without details, it’s just a lot of bluster. I hate that.

Assuming they're not trolling the only person I can think of is Jay White, since he's not really in the world title picture and is doing comedy stuff in the trios scene. Too early for Okada and Ospreay, Aussie Open weren't "stars" and neither was Rocky Romero, who I don't think is FT with AEW and mostly works backstage anyway.

I love how these weirdos just assume that if one company says "we want to buy this other company" then it just happens. The other company doesn't have to agree to sell or anything. Any company can just buy another one and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


If WWE bought njpw, nobody would ever leave again, that's why there are no former WWE wrestlers in AEW.

“He’s bringing eyes to your product that otherwise wouldn’t give a poo poo”?

I thought the wwe product was hotter than it has ever been and they have been doing nothing but spitting hot fire in their exciting, movie caliber promoes

yeah honestly this doesn't hold the mustard anymore. They have been doing better ratings and attendance wise for the past year, I think. So eyes were there and they were there because of established wwe wrestlers correct? If anything the Rock's appeal was on the way down and he wanted to get a boost so he joined the board and got a big pay day and is now a featured star. Hell he's more featured now than he was for his once in a lifetime run with Cena.

Am I wrong or is this that same old poo poo about how the enemy must be both incredibly powerful and about to destroy everything good, and yet also incredibly weak and about to collapse

And when the enemy is “the roster you claim to love so much”, the answer is to poo poo on anonymous “bad actors” hiding in your beloved roster?

Jfc it’s only game, why you heff to be mad

Whether or not they were all active or good that specific year, that time in WCW had a killer roster. It was an incredibly good roster before Hogan wandered in. I think what makes AEW's current roster the best of all time is the ceiling is higher with guys like Ospreay, Jay White, Okada, and the Bucks and, more importantly at the lower end you have jobbers like Evil Uno and Johnny TV or loving RVD who are wildly better than the lower card of early 90s WCW.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Literally every reply is laughing at them and their attempts to say its not a monopoly now that Triple H is in charge and no this won't kill the Japan scene like UK

I dunno about that, Inoki tried to sell (parts) of NJPW to the WWE before so I'm not sure he'd mind
