>Tanahashi (c) vs Dolph Ziggler
I would actually like to see this match.
Good, kenny keks can be BTFO once and for all by a cuck that failed in WWE, UFC and reality TV.
no match with 4 star minimum ishii fucking disgusting
>>3010005
US expansion strategy, brah.
>News -> exposure -> new fans -> stealing E dimes -> death of E
There's no better way to get maximum US, including mainstream US, exposure. Mainstream CM Punk taking the UNITED STATES title off Canadian cult legend Kenny Omega in the biggest Japanese wrestling event of the year, which already has slowly growing North American interest...would dominate the front page ESPN the next day. Millions of burger clicks. Millions of fb shares.
And that's just the news on the night. Imagine the fallout and resultant story - Punk basically takes off with the US title from Japan, flying home to Chicago and defending it every week in ROH, constantly poo-pooing NJPW (and Japan in general, kek), while holding their property. In classic 'shoot' Punk style, blurring the lines between kayfabe and reality. The heel heat when he then eventually makes it back to Japan for a defense there would be GOAT.
It's what's best for business. It's great television, bro. It's money, bro.
i think it'll be
>okada (c) vs naito iwgp
>tanahashi (c) vs suzuki ic
>omega (c) vs ibushi us
>elgin (c) vs ishii never
>kushida (c) vs takahashi jr
and who knows for the tags. damn they've got a lot of belts.
>no ibushi
>no ishii
>no juice
>no evil
>no kushida
the list goes on
>>3010069
as he should
>Tanahashi (c) vs Dolph Ziggler
...........................................................................................................................................................
>wasting a Kenny Tokyo Dome semi-main event match on a 40 year old who was never a great wrestler and isn't familiar to the Japanese audience
>ending the match with interference from another American the Japanese don't care about
>Tana vs fucking ZIGGLER of all people

>would dominate the front page ESPN the next day
I'm gonna assume you aren't American because pro wrestling isn't going to be on the front page of ESPN in the year of our Lord 2017. Maybe their little pro wrestling subsection that no one visits, but nowhere near the front page.

takahashi v ospreay would be very cool
if it happens at the dome this year i think ospreay would be the champ tho. kushida and takahashi have already faced off a lot, but ospreay coud beat kushi for the belt.
