Okada's 100% going to WWE and that should have been obvious once he hired Barry Bloom as an agent. He didn't need to hire an agent to negotiate with BR or Tony, you name a price and either the former cries and says it'll bankrupt the company and Tony hands over a blank check. You hire Barry Bloom as an agent because you want someone to see how much money you can get from Nick Kahn and Triple H. Finish the story Cody? nope Punk finally gets his mania main event? lolno Rainmaker puts over the Tribal Chief? Ooooohaaaaaaa yessir

Pylons posted:The Elite and Ospreay were all represented by Barry Bloom in their most recent deals. MassRafTer posted:It's crazy Chris Jericho and The Elite signed with WWE. Jericho has more value to AEW then WWE at this point, plus AEW lets him call his own shots while WWE he's either being used to put over younger talent or feuding with Baron Corbin. Ospreay has said he didn't want to move full time to the US, which ruled out WWE. Ospreay also didn't want to fully leave New Japan, which ruled out WWE. Bucks also have more value to AEW than WWE. AEW they're always going to be featured highly as figureheads of the company. WWE they're another team, plus the Usos have broken up and New Day's trio time is done with Big E's neck injury so the big money matchups for them are gone. Kenny would have value in WWE but if he's wanting to stay attached to the Bucks that's his call. It's entirely possible that Okada's really wanting to go to AEW and is using Bloom to generate leverage, but why give up an agent's percentage when you're going to get whatever you want without one?

The main eventers from the last five years of dome shows who are still with the company are Naito, SANADA, and Shingo. Gone are Okada/Ibushi/White/Ospreay kinda. For reference, for WWE the last five years of Wrestlemania main events, still with WWE are Charlotte/Becky/AJ/Brock/McIntyre/Bianca/Roman/Owens/Jimmy Uso/Jay Uso/Sami/Cody, gone are Ronda/Undertaker/Sasha/Edge/Bryan/Stone Cold, and two of those are retirement. It shows how a great chunk of the top end of New Japan has left for various (money) reasons, but also there's room for people to grow. It's not an apples to orange comparison because Wrassle Kingdome had people maining both nights while Wrestlemania hasn't (yet), but there's room to freshen up the top of the cards for New Japan, mostly out of necessity. I said this in the prediction thread, but out of the new blood that's made their big returns in the past year or so, I'd say one to two get the big belt this year and one wins the G1 for certain. It's sink or swim for those kids whether Gedo and Co. wanted it to be that way or not.
