MapRef41N93W Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 They've already got someplace to send stagnant talent: NXT. They don't seem all that inclined to use it that way, but they did do it with Zack Ryder, and unlike NJPW, it would be a setting that they'd retain control over and that would maintain the house style. And which New Japan talent does WWE want the sort of access to that they could get via talent exchange? Generally what they want are exclusive long-term contracts. I can't see any scenario in which they'd be willing to settle for getting Kenny Omega on excursion with strings attached. I don't know why I'm arguing though, I'd love for something like that to happen. If anyone from WWE is reading this: Victator is right and I am wrong.

There are quite a few guys in WWE who would take that move, and Cena happens to be working with one of them at the Rumble. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from the sounds of it, the hard feelings are not on WWE's end, it is New Japan wanting to big league WWE. WWE considers NXT a touring brand now. Sending a talent there is not sufficient to prevent stagnation. But again it seems the hard feelings are on the New Japan end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 They work over a body part, cut him off from his partner, and then he gets the hot tag, and the other guy takes them both down, and you get a schmozz ending? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Okay, second attempt and correct thread this time! Why on earth is WWE charging a hair under $50 for house show tickets as the cheapest option? I'm guessing they figure only hardcores will go, so charge as much as possible? I'm tempted to go, just so I can see AJ Styles but that's a decent chunk for shitty seats at a house show. I certainly don't remember spending near that 3 years ago when I last went. Granted, this is in Canada, so it's probably some lint and pocket change in yankee dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'd spend $50 for nxt (just did for the 2/10 Asbury Park show). For a main roster show, not a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTTW Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Is there any comparison scenario to Brock/Goldberg? The total bomb the first time, and the second time it's going to be massive?
