epitasis posted:I don't know that it was ever made explicit that they passed on him. He came through then went home, maybe he expected an offer on the spot and they didn't extend one for five weeks. Would "Major League" or its equivalent be something people would use to refer to NJPW? Meltzer noted that it may have been more that his contract with NOAH wasn't up until a few days ago. The May shows he's doing are per-appearance deals as a farewell mini-tour. But he's either going to WWE or NJPW, obviously. (Watch me be proven dumb and he shows up in TNA, pinning Eric Young for the World title before jobbing to EC3 the same night.)

I assume they're more going for the unstoppable champion thing, like Okada before Omega beat him, or PAC before Ben-K... Oh poo poo, STOP THE BASTARD would've been great!

And the Noah deal probably fell apart for similar reasons, they're now owned by the same group as DDT which seem more AEW alligned.

SG Bamboo posted:Not so far, Taekshita has just gone back to America and they've uploaded his Dark matches to Wrestle Universe with Japanese commentary. It was only announced a month ago, so assuming they've got some longer term plans Takeshita did a match for Elevation last night. And Kenny seems keen to do something for DDT but the pandemic and his dumb broken body have gotten in the way

Wider implications aside, who would it even be? Like, if it's just some random college sports meathead then it makes AJPW look even more low rent than their current position, and who's even in NXT that would be a big-ish deal? It can't be Dragunov or Dragon Lee because WWE aren't gonna let their champions do the job. ...it's gonna be Beepie, isn't it?

I could see Regal pushing for his boy to get a chance to wrestle in Japan, sure.

Good news everyone, the House always wins, by which I mean EVIL, Big Yuj and Narita will be wrestling the bosses.

forkboy84 posted:https://x.com/Hi5ame/status/1787470059046117453 The thing is, it's NOAH and Kaito. I'm not sure Gabe doesn't win. Which in a sense is good and could build heat, but is also not a great thing for who should be one of their top homegrown guys.
