>NJPW owner is admitting they can't compete with WWE.
Except he didn't. It's just a shitty headline that takes something out of context.
>>2069408
>WWE will finally have a Working Relationship with NJPW for the first time in how long?
Feelsgood.
>>2069408
time for tama to jump ship earlier than expected.

They were going to do a talent exchange back in 2011 but nothing was done. we might get a Tanahashi vs Cena after all though
How can lil jap bois even compete?
>>2070533
We're finally going to get:
>Tanahashi vs Cena
>Okada vs Orton
>Omega vs Styles
>Shibata vs Cesaro
>KUSHIDA vs Rollins
Fuck vince and his monopoly,I wish hillary was america president she could have brought anti-trust law suit on wwe.
>tfw WWE buys NOAH now that it's free of NJPW control
>tfw there's another company in Japan with the financial clout to compete with New Japan again
Yeah, this seems to be WWE's new approach, and it's actually a smart one business wise. They are the biggest wrestling business in the world, even with dwindling viewer numbers. So to use that name and presence to push WWE branded territories everywhere means they can effectively crush any opposition before it ever begins. It also means that there is possibility of many of these off shoot territories gaining traction and becoming popular in said countries, which would mean they are not as reliant on just solely the American market.
If WWE are the only game in town, then viewership numbers need never be a problem again.

>Los Ingobernables de Japon vs Wyatts
>Naito vs Zayn
Stay the fuck out of Japan, Vince. Go fuck Mexico up if you're so desperate to take over a wrestling market.

>If WWE are the only game in town, then viewership numbers need never be a problem again.
They pretty much are the only game in town in America (at that level of popularity) and the viewership numbers have been dwindling for years as you just said. Vince just has this pathological hatred for any and all competition no matter how insignificant (the indies) or imaginary (New Japan).
>>2073446
a company can still go out of business without competitors
the demand for pro wrestling isn't exactly inelastic
>>2070533
>Evil vs Taker
>Naito vs Jericho
>Tanahashi vs Nakamura
>>2073523
>Tanahashi vs Nakamura
Surely that's been done
>Samoa Joe vs Tomohiro Ishii
>>2073524
I know. I meant as a some kind of a rematch.
>>2073523
>evil vs taker
>>2073526

No its not, especially when they have went their separate ways for quite some time now, it'll be exciting actually.
>Billy Gunn vs Haitch
>>2073537

America would be bathed in nuclear hellfire if that witch was elected you idiot.

They're already doing this with the UK and Irish Indies. Finn showed up at a Show in Dublin over the Weekend, and hinted at a brewing relationship between WWE and the Independent Scene.

>>>Tiger The Dark vs Roman Reigns for a US title unification
I see what you did there.

Based
Good luck trying to make money in that oversaturated market. But Haitch is a big enough mark to actually try it.
They should buy AJPW and have a yearly Japan vs US tournament/card
>>2073443
Lol nowah is already bought out.
Noah is below Ajpw now.
>>2073879
Buy out wrestle 1. Or dragon gate.
Make dragon gayte become like WWE.
>>2073872
How profitable is Pro wrestling in Japan?
>>2073888
AJPW has more history though doesn't it? Can call back to the history of the Triple Crown, market the brand hard so lapsed fans think All Japan is 'back'
