What kind of stipulation would you guys want to see in the Agent X Vs Ric "The Mic" Roberts match? What do you think the stipulation will be?


I think it will probably be a LADDER match but I would love to see a Pyro match. Agent X loves playing with fire, so hes gonna have the advantage but Ric "The Mic" Roberts is one of the toughest sons of bitches to have ever been born so it would really be a crazy match.


So whats your guys take? What kinda match do you want?

Been poking around. It looks like the key NJPW notices were given after the show was already laid out/booked.

This means New Beginning plans were likely already made, which would have to be radically adjusted now.
Being rumored that Nakamura, AJ Styles, and another Bullet Club guy(s) gave their notices after the end of Wrestle Kingdom 10. Observer teased a lot more info is expected to be arriving within a day with the biggest rumor going on is Nakamura heading to the WWE.


Also James Storm's WWE-NXT contract recently ended and is going back to TNA.

The story goes is that the four went to Gedo, the current booker of NJPW, at this morning’s WrestleKingdom 10 event and said that they would be finishing up. It’s not known when any of these four will start with WWE, but it was said that Nakamura would not be leaving quickly. He is currently the IWGP Intercontinental champion, and it’s said to be a scenario opposite of current WWE U.S. Champion Alberto del Rio where he’ll most likely drop the title before leaving.

Anderson was also apparently close to coming to TNA, but the story goes is that once the WWE deal came, things changed.

In terms of contract situations, New Japan has a one year contract system that usually expires in January, so them giving notice coincides with that. Styles did not have a New Japan contract.

Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows are all expected to honor their Ring of Honor dates next month in Las Vegas. Dave also reported that AJ Styles was likely done with Ring of Honor going forward.

Nakamura likely won't show up till after Mania because of NXT's upcoming taping schedule and he's probably dropping the belt by March/April. AJ Styles has the best shot of showing up during the next set of tapings out of the group.

Really the only response.

Vastardikai 01-04-2016 10:21 PM

Maybe the Balor Club is coming?

As for Nakamura , it comes down to his ability to learn or speak English. If he can't, he's at least as big as Tajiri. If he can, we could be looking at worst a guy who is the biggest Japanese star to hit America since Muta, possibly Rikodozan. Or we may be in uncharted territory. The guy is too charismatic to NOT get over.

Savio 01-04-2016 10:26 PM

Hope Somoa Joe debuts at the rumble.....congrats to AJ for finishing his career in the WWE.

Apparently the running joke now is because Nakamura signed with WWE that Daniel Bryan will go to NJPW

Emperor Smeat 01-05-2016 02:02 AM

Update from PWI regarding the talent raid by the WWE. Confirmed those wrestlers are now free agents but none of their sources within the WWE states they have been officially signed yet by the company.

Out of the group, NJPW seems to only be interested in keeping Nakamura if possible while AJ Styles is gone and isn't resigning with them nor ROH. Gallows likely is gone as well from NJPW and Anderson likely gone once his deal ends later this month. Both guys do have a few ROH dates left so they could just stay in ROH before moving elsewhere.

The WWE signing part is one of the versions of the story that are making the rounds but to be clear, no sources within WWE have been able to confirm that, as of this evening, there have been any signings of any of these talents.

In the case of AJ Styles, he was not under a New Japan contract. Styles is obviously in demand and there is obviously interest in him from just about every promotion, but according to several sources, he has not signed anything with anyone. Within the last week or two, ROH had removed posters featuring AJ Styles for upcoming events and replaced them with new posters sans Styles. It is believed he finished up with ROH at Final Battle.

The two other big names bandied about are The Bullet Club's Karl Anderson and Doc/Luke Gallows. In the case of Gallows, he was not under New Japan contract. Anderson's deal expires towards the end of the month. It is believed that their departure is more to clear the deck in case there is interest elsewhere for them, but they have not signed anything. They are still being advertised for future ROH dates.

The final name being discussed is the current IWGP Intercontinental champion Shinsuke Nakamura. In Nakamura's case, the belief is that while he has expressed interest in seeing what his future might hold outside NJPW, that discussions between he and New Japan may not have completed and what his final decision may be remains up in the air. We have heard stories going back a year that WWE officials, after seeing him on a tape of the 2015 WrestleKingdom PPV, had expressed interest in him. The idea that Nakamura was signed by WWE already just isn't feasible given the visas and other paperwork required for WWE to hire him, but it's within the realm of possibility to be sure. It's just as possible Nakamura and New Japan will come to terms on a new deal. For Nakamura, nothing is set in stone.

There were a number of people in and around New Japan, including some of the principals involved, who were very angry the story leaked before talents had finished up their dates, specifically since the business is so well protected by those in Japan.


Fignuts 01-05-2016 08:45 AM

Honestly hope Nakamura stays in NJPW. They need him, and while it would be nice to see him on NXT, I have no faith in the WWE to use him properly on the main roster.

Heisenberg 01-05-2016 09:17 AM

just as long as AJ Styles comes. That will bring me back full time to RAW. He seems to be a better fit for NXT, but he's earned enough respect to shoot to the main roster and save us.


His promo is a little off, but he uses the word "piss" so it negates all the bad things

Exyle 01-05-2016 01:06 PM

Wrestling showerthought: It'd be cool if Kalisto won the US title from ADR, re-christened it as the WWE World Cruiserweight Championship (sick looking new belt and all), and brought a cruiserweight open challenge to RAW every week.

Heisenberg 01-05-2016 01:51 PM

Everytime they show Kalisto I imagine Rey Mysterio chucking a remote through the TV and yearning for the roar of the crowd. Never felt that way with Sin Cara. The new Sin Cara is better, but I didn't get the idea that Rey was jelly of him.

Simple Fan 01-05-2016 01:59 PM

If it's all true it's a big hit to NJPW. Still don't know if WWE would use any of them on the main roster if they do sign.

Kind of peeved they didn't sign James Storm.

More than "kind of" actually.

Though not a member of the Bullet Club, Nakamura remains one of the most popular wrestlers outside of WWE. Displaying a flamboyant charisma comparable to Freddie Mercury, but possessing the brutal strikes of an elite fighter, Nakamura roomed with Daniel Bryan years ago in California when both were early into their sports-entertainment careers. During media tours for last year’s WrestleMania, Bryan even revealed he once proposed an inter-promotional match against Nakamura to WWE management.

<font color=goldenrod>I don't remember WWE ever acknowledging rumors like that before, which suggests there's gotta be some merit to it.

Will be cool to see what WWE does with them.</font>

Going to straight shit myself if AJ Styles goes to WWE

Sepholio 01-05-2016 08:13 PM

Yeah AJ to WWE would make me go boom boom in my trousers as well kind sir.

Dark One 01-05-2016 09:53 PM

There's a part of me that is going to be watching the Rumble waiting, hoping, praying for some kind of crazy surprise possibly involving one of them.

And then I will be severely disappointed when the only surprise entrant is the Boogeyman.
