You are Bushiroad owner and NJPW Chairman Takaaki Kidani. The WWE has once again poached your talent, taking Prince Devitt, Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura. Your talent roster suffers an enormous blow, an air of uncertainty encapsulates your locker room, knowing that as soon as you pick up steam, WWE will be there to stomp all over it. You partner up with Ring of Honor in a relationship that'll help both your company and theirs, WWE's unwillingness to do business with other companies will ultimately lead to their downfall. You also cooperate with PWG, TNA and CMLL. You want revenge. Your goal is simple: KILL THE WWE. You have access to Sinclair's billions of dollars, their entire support and their network outreach, including Fox, CW, ABC, NBC, CBS, Telemundo, Univision and Azteca America. You are tasked with selling out a 50,000 seat arena in Los Angeles, California as well as running a weekly episodic TV show in the United States. Who do you put on your booking staff alongside Gedo who has done an excellent job of saving NJPW? Paul Heyman? Which unsigned wrestlers are you looking at and which WWE talent do you feel you can realistically sign? Do you merge with ROH and if so, what do you brand the new company as? You obviously have all the resources so how do you defeat the WWE?
Also I know this picture is shit. 67 hours in MS Paint.
50,000 is probably not happening BUT I think if they got CM Punk and Bryan to appear on a show they could legitimately sell out Staples Center which I believe holds 20,000.
Put together a card that would sell out a 50,000 seat arena in Los Angeles. You can use NJPW, AJPW, ROH, PWG, TNA and Lucha Underground talent, as well as former and disgruntled WWE talents to accomplish this task. Go.

Nakajima and Kento
I would tell Stone Cold, The Rock, CM Punk, Undertaker, Hogan, Ric Flair, and anyone else that could be considered a legend to name their price to come back. Have young talent like Rollins carry the broken old guys to good matches so there is actually good wrestling to watch. But to get 50k in attendance there has to be some combo of old legends in "one more match" scenarios.

Ivelisse vs Katrina Ultimate Surrender match
>>2975678
Fucking based.
>>2975690
Also would be fucking based. Catrina is unbelievably fucking hot. Also, you can use Stardom and Shimmer talent for the obligatory women's matches.
The one big move WCW did that no other supposed rivals did was to steal wwe's top talent, they even stole hulk hogan.
This would be the equivalent of ROH stealing john cena.
Really the best chance is to find out which wrestlers are disgruntled at wwe, and offer them either more money or anything that wwe doesn't offer them.
I think ROH and new japan forming a fed and putting it in LA could be a threat to wwe, but we have to see how it would turn out. Also you shouldnt bill yourself as wwe's competitor, but the alternative.
As of right now wwe has a monopoly and no one can compete with them, but you can be the thing that fans want, you can be subversive, you can be the fed with the cult following.
The wwe are evil and will try to squash you anyway they can.
You would also need top wrestlers that are exclusive to the new fed and only work for you, and you could only see them at your fed.
Really i think this would be a possible future threat, but not an immidete threat to wwe, so it would be a very long battle to not be squashed by wwe.
>>2975710
also dont make the mistake TNA did by putting down all their young original talent for old geezers like hogan or nash
The wwe brand in america is the most well known wrestling brand. Even when normies think of wrestling they think of wwe. They defeated their one main rival and now have a monopoly on wrestling.
Any new feds main goals are to get a good tv slot, build a good and well known brand, and try not to get squashed by wwe.
>>2975710
Wonderful answer.
Kushida vs. Hiromu Takahashi vs Will Ospreay vs Ricochet for the Junior Heavyweight championship. Pentagon Jr. vs Tetsuya Naito. Kenny Omega vs Kazuchika Okada. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Noamichi Marufuji. So far, does this card draw dimes?
>>2975720
>people want to see a bunch of fat old guys sweating and running out of breath
>never build new stars
This is TNA tard logic
I actually do think the biggest fuck you to wwe would be to somehow convince cm punk to come back to wrestling.
>>2975710
NJPW/ROH/Stardom is a pretty good alliance
>>2975741
Io Shirai vs Ivelisse would be fucking lit. They'd tear the house down and jump off all kinds of high surfaces.
>>2975741
get some lucha and british feds in there too.
>>2975751
So... let me tell you something. There was a plan for Ivelisse to go to Stardom. Guess what happened. She hasn't board her plane. For the second time last year when she was supposed to be on 5*. So nope, you don't book Ivelisse. She is known to be a bitch and bad to work with.
Io Shirai v any number of men who are small and high flyers would be better. You cannot get any single woman on US indy scene who is as good as Shirai. Maybe Shayna Bazsler. Toni Storm has had a good matches with her as well.
And NJPW won't be having women matches on the card. They jut won't. They are men's promotion.
>>2975767
God, what a fucking bitch. I'd love to fuck her, though. Latina Girls with attitude make my dick hard.
>>2975751
it's not out of the realm of possibility. with Io back and Roh actually partnering with stardom, it could happen
>>2975767
Storm isn't that good. Can't sell or get heat. Just does movez. Io carried her. And said carry ended up damaging her neck.
>>2975779
See: >>2975767
She was suppsoed to be in Japan last year. And year before that. So... it won't happen anytime soon, not unless she finally figures things out and stops being bitch.You know she is not booked almost anywhere. For 2 years she was getting booked only in 2 promotions more then once. And even fucking WCPW booked her only once, cause when she arrived she pissed everyone off. EVEN FUCKING TESSA BLANCHARD is tame compared to her.

Bring back Inoki and have him book the stuff that sold out the Dome with 60,000+ multiple times a year.
Current New Japan is small fry compared to the Inoki era.

God bless this board
>>2976424
Her WHAT? What the fuck?
>>2976436
She was booked for a show and then bailed when she found out that she was knocked by her current nigga in Florida. Aborted that fucker and took dates soon after.
Pretty based imo
>>2976450
>Ivelisse will never have your abortion
