TKO might be setting to sell Vince's shares. That was fast.

on one hand, he did explicitly say when he took back the company that he was only staying in charge long enough to organize and execute the sale of the company

on the other hand, he's a loving carny piece of poo poo so i'll believe it when it actually happens

i feel like every time okada has been questioned about signing with an american promotion, he's always pushed that he's more interested in building up new japan than growing his own star. i guess his mind could change at some point but i'd be kind of surprised to see him in wwe.

As far as I'm aware New Japan pay Okada his value, they get how important he is to their business. So WWE to sign him would have to pay a lot, especially considering he'd have to relocate to Florida with his wife who is a working voice actress and his little kid.

And while it's true the WWE has a less impactful style, Okada has worked almost twice as many shows as Nakamura but has only done 16 singles matches to Nakamura's 38.

It's totally plausible he could jump, don't get me wrong. New Japan probably cannot compete with WWE if really pushed the boat out financially. Which would have the bonus of being enough of an investment that they might avoid just sticking him with a Tozawa tier gimmick. If they were wise they'd give him a manager now Vince seems out and they can abandon that particular hangup of his, but idk.

tozawa probably wouldn't be getting the treatment he is if he were six inches taller and 100 pounds heavier, i think. wwe is very much a body company and okada doesn't have his size working against him. i think it would definitely end up coming down to wwe offering the right number, IF okada has any interest at all.

I have to point out that Akira Tozawa's size wasn't exactly a secret when they signed him. Also he's slightly bigger than Rey Mysterio who at one point was one of their bigger draws, despite being booked absolutely terribly.

you are both right but also those guys weren't around for the "new regime" that's apparently supposed to treat japanese wrestlers better

I really hope Sasha comes back to WWE, or back to Japan. AEW just isn’t a good place for women’s wrestling and Ring of Honor is too small time for Sasha, but it’s the only place Tony Khan seems to book women well.

i hope she doesn't because wwe doesn't deserve good things

in the highly fanciful and unlikely situation that wwe did actually loving die because of this, i think it's wild how many people talk about how it would be a massive blow to professional wrestling

but. everyone who watches those shows, if it goes away, will have to decide if they want to keep watching wrestling or not. if they do, they'll have to go watch something the gently caress else

maybe that would actually be better for wrestling in the long term than this lovely lumbering giant continuing to cast it's dogshit shadow over the whole thing
