TNA Finally doing something Right? (Great Muta meeting with TNA about Talent Exchange)

Makin' moves, makin' thousand dollar moves
Guys, y'all really need to stop with those crazy expectations. TNA isn't dealing with a monster like NJPW that can book arenas that seat thousands on a monthly basis with a roster full of Grade-A talent. They're dealing with a small independent company that's going to be booking arenas that sit 500-800 with a roster of former AJPW leftovers sans guys like Mutoh, Funaki, and Hayashi who actually matter. WWE wouldn't consider wasting their time with this place, and you're all trying to figure out why they did business with TNA instead.
Even so both companies are not going to benefit from each other. For one, every time TNA does talent exchanges with companies, it's rare that they ever use talent from the other company, and when they do it's goddamned embarrassing. When they were dealing with NJPW, they had Hiroshi Tanahashi who at the time was the biggest draw in Japan jobbing in X-Division matches. They buried the most popular tag team NJPW had at the time, No Limit! And when they had Kazuchika Okada down here? Didn't use him for the two years they had him except for a brief time when they made him Samoa Joe's chauffeur. Now he's the biggest thing in NJPW. Don't be surprised if you see Great Muta making the best entrance of his goddamn life only to be interrupted by ODB and Eric Young playing the banjo. Shame on TNA for that shyt.
Two, all that's going to come out of this is TNA is going to send X-Division wrestlers or random midcarders like Gunner and Jessie Godderz that these Japanese people have never heard of in their damn lives since Impact Wrestling doesn't even air there, and have guys like Seiya Sanada and Hiroshi Yamato put them over to the delight of no one. And how's that going to help them exactly? Mutoh's shooting himself in the foot here, and his company hasn't even opened yet.

Muto apparently wants the company to be a dream card promotion actually. From the new Observer:

Well, good luck on that, because I'm seeing this failing like every other talent exchange TNA has made. Can't wait for the anticipated matchup between Jeff Hardy and Ryota Hama at Shinjuku FACE.

...is that really a dream match? Or are you just being sarcastic right now?Well, good luck on that, because I'm seeing this failing like every other talent exchange TNA has made. Can't wait for the anticipated matchup between Jeff Hardy and Ryota Hama at Shinjuku FACE.

Wouldn't mind seeing Angle vs. Funaki.
Really, there's no reason to believe using TNA talent will inherently be a bad thing. Now conversely, if Muto sends any of his guys over to the States, obviously there's little chance of it going well.
