Harris Brothers in Tag League?...Good Business Decision?

[Sean Kassai]

Could this possibly bring any good to the Tag League? They aren't popular with the Japanese fans, their mic work is bad, and their in-ring work is less than tolerable (In my opinion). When I see their names on the Tag League roster, the only thing that comes to mind is "What in the world was All Japan thinking?"...

Does anyone think that this was a good business decision in any way for AJPW?

[El Gran Kurtisimo]

Well it depends. AJPW is in dire need of new talent. True its mainly on the native side, but they still need new blood. If they do use them correctly, they should push them immediately as two unstoppable monsters who only brawl. Jobbing them would be pointless.

After they are established and have some heat, then job them to native workers for the inevitable pay-off.

I'm not saying that they'll bring stellar business, but I think they could draw some if used correctly if only for their size and persona.

Mike skills aren't very important in All Japan anyway...

As for me? The Gaijin I would LOVE to see in either All Japan or NOAH is Bradshaw. Even have Hansen manage him, since Bradshaw is his second coming. Good lord he might kill someone with that Lariet if they let him work in Japan.

[Pete Sambrano]

Bradshaw is terrible and his Lariato is not even close to the power of the Western Lariat Stan Hansen.Stan Hansen even retired still has it.

It has been my experience that it is hard to judge how well a wrestler would be in Japan based on their work in the states. Workers stateside have HUGE limitations placed on them, both in time and in intensity. I based my opinion on the idea that since he is stiff in the west, he would probably work with twice that intensity in Japan.

And by the way, Bradshaw was trained to be the next Stan Hansen. If you take a look at some of his early work when he just started in the WWF, he even did the horn symbol with his hand and the "cattle call"

And you can't compare the Western Lariet to the Clothsline from Hell. One is a strait, powerful jab and the other is more like a wild haymaker. And they both look like they just killed their opponent.
