They already did. He doesn't want to work for them.

Omega will end up in WWE at some point. But I think he needs this run first to prove to the folks in Greenwich that he has what it takes (even if we already think the answer is yes)
God damnit I wish Disney would release the theatrical cuts of the original trilogy. The changes to Return of the Jedi in the bluray release were so bad.

No shit, was this recently...? Did not know that.
LegitShook's review on Wrassle Kingdom 10 is making me consider watching it or at least parts of it anyway.

Can't wait for Itami's brother and Stylish JA to debut in NXT
NJPW could definitely use a new comedy jobber stable
Now that Nakamura's gone, there's one man who can feud with Okada over CHAOS leadership
and win
Reigns getting eliminated by accident would be the craziest fucking thing, it's our only hope

It's not only that the Rumble in 92 was for the Title, but it was because of months of build up till that event. Flair debuting with the big gold belt, calling it the real World Championship, them blurring it out at every opportunity, calling out Hogan, plus the whole Hogan/Undertaker Survivor Series/Tuesday In Texas saga and it becoming vacant. Oh, and Bobby fucking Heenan.
This whole Rumble Defence sounds half-baked, and it either ends up as Roman winning it (to a chorus of boos), or Roman losing to someone like Brock with Reigns earning the right to have a shot at the title at WM later on (which they did with the likes of Austin in 99). I don't know what is worse, Reigns being the champion or the product in general being so fucking predictable. Would it hurt them just to spring a giant surprise and have someone completely out of the picture win it and make them drop it on a Raw a few weeks later?

Remember when Shawn Michaels buried Ziggler on Austins podcast by exposing him for not doing anything original and just taking other things more over wrestlers did to try to get over and it not working because everyone knows those other wrestlers already did those things?
That's Jay Lethal.

Christ looking back at that WK show I am glad I came in where I did (middle of the Jrs. Title match) because dear god everything before that was not very good. Too many foreigners with no audience connection, too much distraction interference bullshit, too many repeats that didn't up the game from previous encounters...Not a good show really.
It's crazy to think that NOAH Destiny was nearly as consistently good as WK10. The main events were comparable and if Suzuki had someone better to work with it could have matched Tana/Okada The two big Jrs. singles matches on the NOAH show were arguably better than the Jrs. tag and singles matches on WK. The KES/Big in America match was very similar to the NJPW tag match just with the heels retaining. Shiozaki's glorified squash probably would have gotten more reaction than any of the ROH matches.
The 3 title match stretch at the end of WK10 still is untouchable in comparison but as an overall show it did display a lot of work to be done, only made harder by this WWE raid.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
did you watch the main event? It as terrible and even vince himself botched terribly, no idea wtf was going on.
NOAH's jr roster shits all over NJPW's. Has for years. Kushida is the 'face of the division' which is emblematic because KUSHIDA is literally the most vanilla babyface I've ever seen. Vanilla midget gets jokingly tossed around but that is exactly what KUSHIDA is. Even the worst juniors in NOAH are more engaging than he is(Taiji). I'd rather watch Aoki vs Suzuki 500 times than watch a NJPW Junior match. Every promotion has a better juniors division than NJPW does. Even Wrestle-1 has Andy Wu and Jiro.
It's amazing that this was the same company that formerly had Shuji Kondo, Kaz Hayashi, Koji Kanemoto, and Minoru Tanaka on their card in the same match.

Our source indicated that the four (Nak, AJ, Gallows, Anderson) gave notice the day of WK10, moments before the show.

Nobody "out of nowhere" has won the Rumble. Making somebody like Slater or Kofi win it is Russo-tier swerve for the sake of the swerve booking.
Wrestling is predictable. It always has been. Once it hasn't, it's been some of the worst TV in history.

Holy moly if true.
I can see Bushiroad changing some stuff about NJPW contract policy..
Would anyone even dare when Brock Lesnar is in the ring? Or even the threat of him being sent out would stop most I'd imagine.
That was honestly the most depressing part of it. They are gonna do an NXT special and be booted up to the main roster and there is no hope for them.
Like unless Smackdown really does deliver on becoming a hybrid NXT/more wrestling focused show with a different tone etc and more or less totally disconnected from whatever is happening with Roman Reigns, there is no hope.
No hope, for a guy who can't speak English and a guy who can't really promo well.
No
hope.
Honestly...
Del Rio is probably still in camp shape considering he was training to fight before he signed.
Are we talking a real fight or a fight to throw him over the ropes?

This is all part of the politicians plan to stay on top.
He's gonna get everyone to job to him and if they refuse he will bury them.
Who do you think got that tape from Hogan's friend and sent it to gawker?
Who placed the drugs in Orton's bag?
Who do you think told Shaemus that his match with Bryan was a shoot and to kill him?
