Cokeboy tried to purchase Pro Wrestling NOAH

[Flex Luger]

There have been a lot of rumors going around on a WWE NXT Japan brand and a possible announcement being made on Friday.

We've noted for months how WWE officials have been planning a NXT Japan brand. Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that officials are working on the project, and they've talked to a number of companies in Japan about a potential deal.

It was noted that WWE has tried to buy a Japanese promotion so they would have a foundation for NXT Japan, but there's no word yet on if any of the deals have gone through. One of those companies they tried to purchase was Pro Wrestling NOAH, but a deal could not be reached.

There are also rumors of WWE trying to hire top Japanese talents to work as trainers for the new brand, or a potential WWE Performance Center in Japan. Meltzer noted that there is talk of WWE signing two top Japanese talents for the new NXT Japan brand, but he wouldn't name them until he has confirmation.

Stay tuned for updates on the NXT Japan brand.

WWE Reportedly Tried To Purchase Pro Wrestling NOAH For New WWE NXT Japan Brand - Wrestling Inc.

NXT Japan will fail

 

[MightyHealthy]

NXT UK is barely supported by the market it caters to, if at all, and yet they successfully dehabilitated the BritWres scene.

There's no fukking way that happens in Japan.

WWE just tries to buy what they can't beat, but this is really going to fail.

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

The fact that Vince tried to build their NXT Japan brand off of the ashes of fukkING PRO WRESTLING NOAH of all places shows he is out of touch on multiple continents at this point.

I just don't see the Japanese supporting a WWE product over their own..

Yup Japanese wrestling and to a point, Mexican wrestling is too much ingrained in their own culture for WWE to take over.

Daisuke Sekimoto and Meiko Satomura about to get them Genichiro Tenryu SWS paychecks for 1-2 years before NXT Japan has to fold

Not only that. The current scene has 1 company doing really good (New Japan), another doing well enough (Dragon Gate) and literally dozens others struggling in varying degrees.

1 more promotion ain't gonna do shyt but fail

And he got REJECTED

I'll laugh my ass off if he ends up striking a deal with Zero1 or BJW, two of the least suitable partners they could get

The moment Cokeboy actually succeeds with NXT Japan and purogang loses their fukking minds...it will be glorious.

Don't touch my DDT Cokeboy...PLEASE DON'T GUT THE ONLY WRESTLING PROMOTION I DESIRE IN 2019

I thought DDT and Stardom were doing well

And that AJPW and NOAH were on the rise.

DDT has been struggling for more than a year now. They went from #2 in Japan to a distant third or even fourth (it's very murky after Dragon Gate).

Can't talk about Stardom's product, but they can't even get 1,000 at Korakuen Hall.

All Japan is stuck in the same place they've been in the last 3 years. Maybe even a little bit worse, with Kento being the only one really mattering business wise and the company being unable to build anything solid around him.

NOAH being on the rise is just @The Rainmaker having a paralel universe gimmick. I'm sure they'll come back from the ashes on Puro Universe #379 in reality they are similar to TNA in their worst years under Dixie Carter.

Hey, if Cokeboy is able to merge 5 of these damn promotions together and let whoever he chooses to be in charge to actually be in charge...I'd be more than happy with NXT Japan


We know that's never gonna happen though

 

[The Rainmaker]

Don't let anyone of these liars fool you. NOAH IS on the rise. They just had a show at some rich guy's house. Korakuen who?

 

[MightyHealthy]

Can't talk about Stardom's product, but they can't even get 1,000 at Korakuen Hall.

They super fukked themselves just this week, stealing a talent from Ice Ribbon.

They got incredibly bad juju from that, making a desperate move, already in a precarious situation.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Take one look at Asuka and Shinsuke Nakamura to see how responsive Japan is going to be to this

NJPW is King (of Sports) over there and the Japanese resent their stars being treated a certain type of way
