serious suggestions onlyI don't think WWE will allow Nakamura
Shota
>>19148662Tony Khan would be the one not allowing it because he's a weak little man with a fragile ego. And yes it should be Nakamura.
>>19148675Oh right. Just like he allowed Billy Gunn go to the HOF. Or he allowed Henry, Show and Danielson to be involved in a WWE project. I asked for serious suggestions not your personal headcanon
WWE might allow it with the one caveat being no AEW talent works the sow. Meaning Takeshita wouldn't be allowed on the show. I'd go with Omega.
>>19148669this
>>19148669>>19148682He already went over him this year so it's obviously not the plan (thank god)
>>19148675It shouldn’t be Nakamura at all, wtf. He’s like the fifth guy it should be.
>>19148697He's his biggest career rival alongside Okada, why shouldn't it be him?
>>19148697OkadaNakamuraOmegawho else is left that he hasn't already faced during his retirement tour?
>>19148703>OmegaI fucking wish
>>19148662He's wrestled every young heavyweight except Narita, Yuto & OSKAR (who just returned) in singles
>>19148703Takeshita/OkadaOmega/Tanahashithose are the matches
>>19148732grim
>>19148662Maki Itoh
Oleg Boltin in a squash
>>19148732>NJPW's biggest show of the year>Headlined by 3 AEW wrestlers and a guy who retiring Unironically very grim
Naito comes back and the match is just two niggas stumbling around on bad knees
>>19148834What else you gonna do with NJPW's current roster that hasn't been done before? Yota vs Takeshita? Gabe Kidd?
>>19148844Tsuji vs Takeshita would be the match (ideally NJPW would have given this weird mega push to someone other than Takeshita). Lean hard into Takeshita as the "arrogant foreign heel" and make WK Tsuji's crowning moment. They won't do this ofc, because they want Takeshita to have a long reign, probably beat all the young generation before Tsuji (or hopefully not Shota) beats him the following WK
>>19148767The guy who jobbed to evil?
>>19148662>interchangeable indie gook shitter #250Who gives a shit
>>19148844Actually use your current fucking roster
>>19148844NJPW famously books things that weren't done before as big WK matches lol
>>19149013Are you an unironic Shota fan? Lmao
>>19148973The notion that WWE would have anything to do with his retirement is hilarious.
>>19148697Nakamura is the number 1 with a bullet that should retire Tanahashi, what the FUCK are you talking about?
>>19149037Nothing wrong with that, bitch
>>19149037No the photo is just funny and I wanted to use it
>>19148662Me
>>19148662If it's not Nakamura then who cares? That's the only match that would mean anything. Tana already had a passing of the torch match with Uemura, already faced the Reiwa Muskateers, already had the big heel vs babyface match with Evil, etc. There's nothing left for Tana to do except face his dojo rival Nakamura.
>>19148662They will definitely let him wrestle Nakamura, the question is will they let it happen at Wrestle Kingdom
>>19148676Tony also allowed Billy Gunn to appear on Raw for a DX reunion and he regularly lets his guys work the indies. Tony is actually pretty good when it comes to letting his guys work where they want.
>>19149059No FUCK nakamura, he did some fucking gay shit during Muta's retirement match, he should stay in WWE and sit in catering until he rots.
>>19148662Cena at Wrestle Dynasty as a surprise opponent, fuck the non compete clause
Omega would be good for structuring a match around Tana's limitations. ZSJ always has good matches with Tana too. But not big enough for a sold out dome.
>There's no Japanese Cody to pass the torch toReally, wtf are they going to do? Takeshita is the most promising currently but he's AEW first and you know Tony will follow it up with him being taken to the limit by some lowercarder on Dynamite anyway.
>>19148702It should be dom
>>19149309Dat port>>19149433tsmt
>>19148662>finnai popped. moxley is the only one left to do it>>19149309peedub gets so little action they turned "poly" into "faggot" just for a meme, suits those faggots well lmao
>>19148662It needs to be one of the younger guys, whomever New Japan decides it wants to push as face of the company moving forward.He's literally the last person on the roster with even an ounce of rub to give and it's desperately needed now more than ever.It would be absolutely wasted on someone who's already established or not on the roster. Biggest mistake he could make as president of the company.
I think it should be Tsuji, he's probably the guy who can benefit the most from the Tana rub, and one of the only ones who would deserve it.
>>19148662AI Inoki
>>19150159Tsuji or Yuya. I think part of the problem is that initially they wanted it to be Shota but Shota's never going to be "the guy", at least not if he's anointed as such.The only way I see Shota getting over is by pulling a Naito, but who knows if he has that in him.
Cena unironically
>>19150166Kek, it would be dimes but man, that's such a waste of downstream rub for a company that sorely needs it.There'd be a logic to that though, if only through hope of getting enough eyes on the product that people keep tuning in.
>>19148952I mean, Tanahashi will squash him
He has been jobbing too much anyway, have him just win his last match against some jabroni
>>19148662Dominik Mysterio
>>19149349That's too based for this gay earth. Match would be epic but neither promotion would ever agree to it.
>>19150165it's funny you mention Yuya because he was my second choice. He's also someone with huge potential who could really benefit from the whole thing. I feel like Yuya and Tsuji are right on the borderline of becoming real stars but both of them need something.
Nakamura would mean the most but I doubt NJPW expects WWE to cave unless Nakamura really pushes for it and even then WWE would probably demand at least that not a single AEW wrestler be on the card. An unorthodox choice could've been someone like Marufuji from NOAH if Marufuji was retiring but doesn't seem like Marufuji's ready yet.
>>19150205I remember when these guys first started returning from excursion and everyone talked about the Reiwa Three Musketeers - on Yuya's return I thought he would shine brighter than the other two. The only reason they might have held back on him was his G1 injury (last year? Can't remember).My third choice would be Oiwa and I almost wonder if they're just waiting for him to get a little more seasoning before pulling the trigger. The fact that he spent so much time with Kiyomiya and Anzai, the young faces of NOAH and AJPW, makes it seem like that's the plan.
