Is it harder to break into the Japanese market than the Mexican one? It seems like the WWE could come through and crush the buildings in Mexico, if they really wanted to.

Not an expert at all on the Mexican market but WWE has had a couple of huge runs over there. They've definitely had a bigger impact there culturally. Now, would that translate to business in 2019 or 2020? I have no clue, my gut says no but that's just my perception from very on the outside.

They'd have conform to their culture though and go against CMLL and AAA. Mexico would be easier than Japan but it won't be easy as UK, where the promotions and wrestlers just laid down for WWE to the point that promotions are dying.

Also if they tried to unmask everyone on day one, the Mexican fans wouldn't stand for it.

Yo that Tiger Mask W anime is becoming reality as I remember when this big wrestling company was buying setting shop everywhere in the world including Japan:mjlol:

You're right :dead:

Ibushi is living out some weird inception scenario where he played the Tiger Mask character during the show's promo run, but also wrestled in a real life tournament for the real life GWM and turned them down to follow his own path.:ohhh:

This world is really a simulation and Kota Ibushi is actually looking at us all in a snow globe on some 'St Elsewhere' shyt :mindblown:

In all honesty they should go after all japan. Having that tape library when it was at its peak would be a good addition to the network

They wouldn't have All Japan's library if the bought them :pachaha: Nippon TV has the rights for All Japan's classic footage up to the 2000s and that would be a completely separate negotiation. Hell, if the library is the goal they don't need AJPW :pachaha:
