That if Antonio Inoki had stayed in New Japan, Josh Barnett would be in Kenny Omega's position right now

That nice dear
>>3011961
Nice but the anti Inoki boys wouldn't want Inoki to stay.
>>3011961
If Inoki had stayed in New Japan, the company wouldn't exist anymore.

Hi Josh! Welcome to asp

Nah, they'd probably be IGF right now, so basically the same thing.
>>3011961
wtf I love New Japan now!
This triggers the nu drones

Would be making more dimes than they are now. Japan is starved of big fight cards since Pride died. I know there's Rizin but it's not the same.
If New Japan was doing huge shows with people from UFC and Pancrase working with pro-wrestlers they'd be drawing double what they're doing now and would be able to do multiple Dome shows a year.

So what you're saying is that they should bring back Bob Sapp
>>3011961
And the company would be WWE-tier.
That's the difference: New Japan evolved and is excelling.

Nah just get Krazy Horse. The banter between him and Omega and any interactions with Okada would be so solid gold.
Josh is a much bigger draw. He sold out the tokydome and put asses in seats in fake wrestling and real fighting wrestling

If NJPW hadn't been bought out by Yuke's and Inoki had stayed it would've gone out of business, it's that simple.
