Vince doesn't see NJPW as a threat, otherwise he would fire anyone who dared to mention it or it's titles on national tv.

Temple of Doom is divisive. You might like Last Crusade a bit better since it's more FnP with Connery. Crystal Skull is...a thing.

He will when they open the USA territory in 2018


And run a show on mania weekend that draws a better gate than every other show besides wrestle mania itself

My radical views on Indiana Jones are well known and Dato is just trying to ride my tastemakin' trailblazin' coattails once a-gain. Unhappy!

Yeah I was thinking the same.
When they open their Dojo in California and grab some of the big names as trainers he will take notice, he will then go on a buying spree to grab up as many indy names as he can to try and tie up contracts.

Meh... I'd say the loser is the one deadset on ignoring reality because Daniel Bryan didn't win the Royal Rumble 2 and half years ago.

I'm just following orders, gawwwwwd.

To be fair, he is getting better. Just still not someone I want to hear speak or watch wrestle just yet. Maybe one day.

If Punk didn't like the toll wrestling was taking on his body, NJPW is the last place you'd want to go.

New Japan has a better schedule and he would have more control over his matches.
He also would not have to worry about being speared through a barricade, or power bombed through an announce table or onto steps just to put the new flavor of the month over in what is not even a match.
Plus he could bounce over to ROH for a godlike reception

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Neither Punk or Bryan would work NJPW full time. I mean, the problem is why are you going there if you're looking to protect yourself?

Dudes would be working the Cody Rhodes victory tour schedule.

Granted, either of those guys would annihilate Cody's ability to run that schedule because why would you book Cody when you could guarantee a sellout with Bryan?

Wouldn't he just come back as a part timer wherever he goes? If it was WWE he would show up once a month with Heyman filling in the rest or whatever

Figure all the bridges have been burned though and its never happening but I guess never say never given how many never coming back guys ended up coming back to the WWE

As has just been said multiple times, their have the better schedule and work load and they would get treated better there than anywhere else.
They would also retain merch control, and be able to appear at other events at will.
And the main factor is, just because it looks brutal does not mean everything you see is.
Hell half of this thread was fucking fooled by the piledriver spot in the Omega v Naito match and were bitching and whining about it

I think so, maybe one just do the G1 or do the super juniors.
Then maybe a one off at WK.
No reason to do a full load

Honestly just having him take on Kenny for the USA belt down the line at an event would be huge in a one off

Maybe, but without some of the really offshoot feds that Cody has done

I kind of feel the same about this one.
They totally shrugged off the ambulance thing.
No harm no foul on Roman, and Strowman just shrugged it off like a bug bite.
There is a point when things reach too carny.

It is bad enough that we are supposed to forget that Brock has his way with Braun not that long ago.

The schedule and work load are irrelevant. Bryan wouldn't sign full time with Japan and neither would Punk. Bryan has a daughter and wife in the US. Same thing Cody does except not needing to work the world's most random feds to pad out his bank account.

I would say that I could see Bryan moving to Japan, lots of his tofu and bean sprout options there, but Brie will be kept on a tight leash by WWE and the Divas stuff.

Kenny Omega wrestled a grand total of 16 singles matches for New Japan in 2016 and look where he is now. I'm certain Bryan and Punk, if they were seriously interested, would be able to work something out where they'd be able to spend plenty of time in America with their fam.

also remember the USA territory for New Japan next year. maybe they could be the big names pushing that territory forward?

Michael Buffer says "we have be witnessed the greatest WCW Monday Night ever."

With a Nitro that had Glacier vs Van Hammer that had a ref bump and a run in by Saturn, i'd tend to agree.
