Former Talent from Japan in WWE:

Finn Balor
Shinsuke Nakamura
Ricochet
Io Shirai
Toni Storm
Kushida
Akira Tozawa

Asuka

I didn’t even mention PWG, AAA, CMLL, or other various companies, I didn’t even bring up guys like Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Jeff Hardy, MVP, and Rey Mysterio who were released and made a name for themselves in other companies were then brought back.

I don’t even have an issue with WWE getting these guys if they can use them right, but if you look at the biggest promotions in the US in the past 25 years (WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, AEW), of the biggest stars, only Cena, Rock, Goldberg, and Reigns were homegrown, everybody else came from somewhere :manny:

WWF/E has never been good at developing their own talent. Besides the OVW crew, they just steal wrestlers that other promotions have developed.

I haven't been following WWE these past few months, but I'm surprised they gave up on Strowman

YouTube is more popular and accessible than some channels.

Hey if it wasn’t for YouTube, we wouldn’t have the Paul brother clowns or Cobra Kai
I don't rock with the Paul brothers, and Cobra Kai is on my Fire Stick.
:ufdup:
I get your point though. I watch YouTube more than I watch network television

I can definitely see Braun fukking around the entertainment scene for a bit. Maybe a muscle-man in a movie like Kevin Nash, make some movie promoting fitness/nutritional items. Become an instagram/youtube fitness dude . Then wait for wwe to come calling in like a year or 2

I hope none of these folks end up in AEW. They already have enough talent you only see on Dark. Maybe the women to help with their women's division but that's about it.

I guess the good thing about states opening up again is the indies can start running shows and if these promotions have the money, they can bring in some of these guys for a few shows. It can bring out fans who haven't had a chance to go to a live wrestling event in over a year.
