Nothing. No one compares to WWE's global reach. NJPW could take Roman, Finn, KO, Bryan, Lesnar, CM and they still wouldn't crack WWE's viewership in any meaningful way.

Sad but this is the way it is.

Why did Hulk Hogan & Randy Savage make so much of a difference in WCW? Vince thought they were finished at age 40

NJPW is not on basic cable which is how the bulk of WWE's audience receives the product. :camby:

that man does not seem interested in the slightest


neither he or the young bucks

:jbhmm:


But money talks at the end of the day

They already making 7 figures to be some "indie" stars and work like half the schedule.

Cody making more money now than he did in his mid-lower card years.

If its gonna be money to get them there.... they probaby gonna need that Brock deal.... which we know Vince aint about to give them

Probably not worth it to them to go to the E on some 35/65 booking to lose their steep like the Hardy, dramatically lose what they make in merch, and all their creative control

new japan would definetly gain a lot of interest.
But its slightly different than WCW back in the day, even now when on demand is so important they'd need international and national american tv to make noise. That said landing Punk and Bryan might help them with that.

Njpw will never be serious competition
In fact their sole purpose since the 90s is to be simply an alternative.

It's laughable that people are depending on a wrestling company that reside on the other side of the world to be a serious threat to a company that travels all around the world & has TV deals in several different countries.:yeshrug:

I don't think anything MAJOR happens but social media and hardcore fans would create a buzz that we haven't seen in a long ass time :manny:

It’d have to get more outside eyes on them, or bring back packs of lapsed fans to have a significant impact. It’d be buzzworthy but I don’t think it’d make an immediate difference since their American fan base either watches both NJPW and WWE or atleast follows WWE.
