No!!! The wrestling industry needs to go forward,
not recreate old ideas or play off nostalgia. No new NWOs, no ECW
reunions, etc. Create something new.
What is the chances this whole thing is the start of a small time
working agreement with njpw and nxt. To get wwe subscriber in the new Japan
market? Would make business sense and be right up hhhs alley to pull something
off to just make nxt bigger and do some added subscriptions in the Japan
market.. those 4 invading nxt would be huge in japan and bring in indie fans as
well?
Zero chance.
There was a story back in May that WWE hall of
Famer Tammy Sytch aka Sunny was close to signing a deal with Vivid to be an
adult film actress. Nothing has been heard about it since but I'm hearing rumors
that she actually shot scenes for Vivid and a movie will be released soon. Have
you heard any updates on this rumor.
The belief is that she's shot the film and it will be released later this year.
We will see.
While I would like to see AJ Styles and the rest of the Bullet Club guys make their way in WWE and get the national exposure they have rightfully earned, am I the only one who, in a selfish sort of way, doesn't really want them to go to WWE? If they do go, we won't get to see them do what they do best because WWE doesn't let their guys do the same type of matches and in ring work that they can in New Japan or even ROH. Their style would have to be taken down quite a few notches, and it's not like Vince has a great track record of using outside guys. I fear that they will be renamed, retooled, and generally chewed up by WWE.
It's a valid concern, but guys like Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan have certainly been used in prominent position and have been given the chance to have some classic matches. It's impossible to tell how any of the New Japan talents will do until they are signed and in the company working matches. Time will tell.
Do you see WWE and WWN ever publicly announcing a partnership or will it always be on the inside like it has been so far?
It all depends on whether they ever officially formalize whatever the partnership will be.
