They've done business before. shyt remember when WWE signed The Good Brothers while they were still under contract with NJPW (and NJPW allowed it as long as they fulfilled their obligations to Japan)?
The Good Brothers weren’t under contract with New Japan when they signed to WWE. That’s why they were able to sign to WWE when they did…

I still have a hard time picturing any U.S promotion being able to book Okada properly. He's very similar to FTR in the sense he's kinda made for being a champ/fighting for the main belt or being portrayed as the best in the division. That's not how U.S wrestling works.

I hope Okada shows a new side of him and is able to adapt because it's on him tbh, it would be really stupid to pretend like WWE (or AEW) should book him like New Japan did.

Really? I'm pretty sure they still had obligations to fulfill with NJPW. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong, I could've sworn that was the case though :manny:

They were on a handshake deal at that point and had to get permission from WWE to finish up the dates they had agreed to work.

If TK pulls off having all three of those sign or join on the first quarter, Jesus. If this were like the NBA, that would be executive of the year material.

Sure... more talent would be cool for AEW but this week's ratings showed that people just want something different out of AEW.

Samoa Joe as the new champion vs. a young challenger in Hook gave them the best ratings and demo ratings they've had in weeks.

TK's problem has always been inconsistent booking. Not a lack of talent.
