Who could lead the Junior division?

[JustS2pendous]

All Japan's junior division has been lifeless for ages, who could they bring in or book to kick some life into it. Who is the one man who can get your interest in the division?

Is Shinzaki really a junior?

I think Tomoaki Honma should be on there, but I voted for Sasuke. Not that I think it will or could happen.

[JustS2pendous]

I doubt AJPW will ever push the juniors

Is Shinzaki really a junior?

No. So he's out.

I think Tomoaki Honma should be on there, but I voted for Sasuke. Not that I think it will or could happen.

Honma is out too for similar reasons.

I doubt AJPW will ever push the juniors

Under Muta they're doing it, which is the only good thing about him. Just get Fuchi out too already!

Where's Ryuji Hijikata? Sasuke could have a chance, but not Liger!

Over half the guys on the list are past their prime and I reckon they need some new talent.
Maybe Yang or Hayashi. I would say Kanemaru, Marufuji, Tanaka, TM4, etc but they're all part of better junior divisions in NJ and NOAH and should stay.
As AJ has one of the worst junior divisions out there they should make new stars and not steal them from better divisions.

I'd like to see Taka Michinoku in All Japan feuding with Hayashi and Ka Shin. Maybe in janurary someone from New Japan will jump? Muto got any good Junior friends back there?

[ElGringo]

No, not really. He's friends with Hayashi, and that's about it. The way I see it, All Japan can't compete with the other two junior divisions (New Japan's and nOAH's), so nneds to offer something new.

New Japan'sis very pure, technical, only some high-flying, very 'less-is-more'. NOAH's is high impact, and fast. All Japan need to do something differant and unique.

I think it should recruit some flashierwrestlers, with lots of charisma and highspots, ones that aren't afraid to do crazy moves. That way, it offers something different, and doesn't have to compete.

[JustS2pendous]

I can't see a problem with that idea, but who would you recruit?

[ElGringo]

Well, if I were Mutoh, I'd engineer a full on working relationship with Ultimo Dragon, and then sign away Dragon Kid, Susumu Yokosuka, Darkness Dragon and Ricky Marvin. Then I'd call up MIKAMI, Asian Cougar and Takeshi Sasaki and get them to sign. Then, I'd set up a relationship with AAA and get some of their better luchadors to tour with All Japan. And finally, I'd use my contacts with Shinzaki to allow me to use WMF juniors like Onryo.

[JustS2pendous]

I would agree, Muto can't lose by forging a working relationship with Ultimo Dragon. I'd still like to see Jerry Lynn and Doug Williams join the group and see Robbie Brookside impress well enough to become a regular.

AAA luchadors suck!!! The other major Mexican promotions (IWRG and CMLL) have some great juniors, but AAA workers are just beyond poor....

[JustS2pendous]

I don't think luchadors suck but I do think Muto should get either western Juniors such as Williams/Lynn, poach from New Japan/ Kanemoto/Tiger Mask or freelancers Sasuke/Dragon Kid

[Hijo de Carlos]

I don't think luchadors suck, O fellow Brummie - in fact lucha is probably my favourite genre of wrestling. But the current crop of AAA workers are very poor indeed. I mean, Gronda? Cibernetico? Electroshock? Monsther? UGH!!!!!

[JustS2pendous]

My misunderstanding, I don't think there has been a class crop of Lucha's since Misterio Jr, Psicosis etc.... I just can't see them taking to All Japan, ***-Lucha maybe but not the mexicans. I'd like to be proved wrong because I think they can add to any junior division. Speaking of which isn't it suprising that neither Psicosis or Juventud Guerrera have worked much in Japan recently, both wopuld be fine additions to All Japan if they brought they're wrestling boots along with them as well as their flying ones. Nice to have a fellow Brummie here.

[Hijo de Carlos]

By all accounts, Juvi and Nicho (Psicosis) are now but shadows of what they once were....
