I don't know why I was complaining about it before but I am definitely down for another Shinskay and Tanahashi match especially how both guys are on fire so something needs to give plus we already know it's going to be a classic. Such a good story and rivalry between these guys.

Okada will probably feud with a veteran now like Nagata or something. Laughter 7 should jump into the tag division now since it's needing something to get it rolling or maybe feud with MiSu?

If they seemed him out then I'm sure they want to use him based on abilities. I know this is the WWE but he has charisma so he'll get over.

Okada in WWE is a bad idea. He's going to end up similar to Yoshi Tatsu and he will be a small fish in a big pond as opposed to being a big fish in a small pond. He's also going to endure tons of stupid stereotypes. He's also not going to make much more money than he would in NJPW.

NJ is "a small pond" ?

Okada also knows that even if he gets Tatsu'd he can comeback to New Japan and be a major star.

Who else loved seeing the Landslide be used as one of Shinskay's very little wrestling maneuvers he pulled out against Sakuraba?! I'm going to rewatch that match since alot of you are giving it high ratings compared to the ***3/4 - **** I gave it ...

Shibata says hi. While jobbing to Makabe.

New Japan will never forgive him if he leaves. It appears that they have already punished him for even considering it.

The Laughter 7 thing seemed to be nobody wanted to work with them. Jado & Gedo didn't even know they were going to be brought in. Hell, supposedly, Bushiroad's president (the guy who pushed for the angle and signed Shibata and Sakuraba) is stepping down. It's either a big angle that will see Laughter 7 as huge players in the coming months, or we are not gonna see them in a New Japan ring in a long ass time (Tokyo Sports is the source so who the hell knows).

Okada would receive a hero's welcome if he is was to return from WWE. His situation is completely different from Shibata's when he retired and went the MMA route.

Tanaka will defend the NEVER title in Korakuen....against Ishii. So it seems we gonna get his annual MOTYC very early.

Oh, and for the next New Japan iPPV:

NJPW “THE NEW BEGINNING”, 2/10/13 (WPW/PPV/iPPV)
Hiroshima Sun Plaza

1. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title: KUSHIDA & Alex Shelley (c) vs. Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov
2. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title: Prince Devitt (c) vs. Ryusuke Taguchi
3. IWGP Tag Team Title: Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. (c) vs. Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima
4. IWGP Heavyweight Title: Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) vs. Karl Anderson

NPJPW have some of the greatest wrestlers on the planet with unique personalities and gimmicks. They're above WWE in terms of overall talent.
