ex wwe stars in all japan

[raggin kilbasa]

why is it that some of the ex wwe wrestlers are showing up in all japan instead of new japan. don't new japan wants these guys or don't they have the money for them

[edgehead1984]

New Japan knows that the wrestlers available aren't up to their caliber...Also they tend to limit their gaijin numbers since it costs a lot of money to bring them over...Also New Japan is focusing on trueborn talent right now...

i take it that all japan is like nwatna and new japan is like wwe when it comes to talent then

[Luds]

New Jaoan is jam packed with tons of talented wrestlers. Just look at the list of main even leve heavyweights:

Chono, Tenzan, Sasaki, Takayama, Nakanishi, Nagata, Nishimura, Tenryu, Nakamura, Tanahashi...

All Japan has only a few main event level stars: Mutoh, Kojima, Kawada, Kea

So low-talent wrestlers like Buchanon, Jamal, D-Lo would only be jobbers in New Japan but can at least be mid carders in All Japan...

To me I personally don't think the way WWE wrestlers are built like all muscles is really healthy and that could posibly be a contributing factor for why NJPW doesn't hire them because after closelining a wrestler they are out of breath. However Cruiserweights is what AJPW needs, because right now I think they have way to many heavyweights.

I agree, Cruiser are what is needed. However, soem of the ex-WWE star might find their niche in All Japan. Particulary bland but capable guys like D.Lo, Jamal & Palumbo
