The Moment You Have Waited For Has Happened

YUJI NAGATA HAS TURNED HEEL!!!

Is it happening at last? After months of frustration, Yuji Nagata revealed his idea to leave the regular army which he led for so long, and become a "complete heel". Nagata announced tentative plans to form his own "Nagata Army" faction, which would probably include Hirooki Goto and possibly others (Nagata hinted at stealing regular army members). Nagata showed a stance of war against young generation leaders, Nakamura and Tanahashi, who he has come to despise so much, and continues to refuse the "change of generation" those two are looking for, and since the company seems to be backing them, Nagata "refuses to kill himself for New Japan" anymore. Nagata also spoke out against one of his few remaining regular army friends, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, saying he had no qualifications for taking back the IWGP Heavyweight Title and would again betray fans by failing. Nagata said his patience with the whole Tenzan/IWGP scenario had hit zero, and he showed the intention to stop the Tenzan vs. Kojima match before May. Nagata showed zero interest in joining Black New Japan, and in order to "take the world", he will head to Thailand with Goto tomorrow.

So it has finally happened. Nagata has turned heel. The upside, he did not join Black New Japan. I figured with the talk of NJ pushing Tanahashi, Nakamura et al would push him over the edge.

On a side note, Happy Retirement to Seiji Sakaguchi

I still think he should go elsewhere...

Happy retirement to Sakaguchi as well...

And Hisa, where would you want us to post about BIG MOUTH????

Well unless NJ has him go killer Nagata and wins a;; under his path, he'd be better in NOAH.

[Pheonix_Chi25]

I agree, as with everyone has said in the past, that Nagata needs to pack his bags and leave for NOAH or All Japan or even Zero One Max

Post about BIG MOUTH wherever you want. If Stuart has brainwashed you into thinking BIG MOUTH is a New Japan conspiracy, do it on the NJ board. If not, do it on the general board. It doesn't look like they're going to run enough shows in the near future for it to really matter anyway.

I'd say Nagata is getting pretty accustomed to making close to $1million/year, and probably doesn't want to go back to making a lot less than that. Which means as long as the checks clear, he's going nowhere. If he did leave, he probably work HUSTLE, BIG MOUTH and try MMA again for big paydays. If he got bored with that he could always prostitute himself out to anyone else willing to pay high 5 figures per apperance, and considering that he is super damaged goods, that's probably no one. If he was going to leave he would have left with Mutoh, Kojima and Ka Shin.

"General" for now.

Thanks.

Thanks, just wondering...

[Pheonix_Chi25]

he just started a new army too. Him, Goto and he wants to add Makabe, Yano and Wolf.

Do I smell a more heelish G-EGGS???

As I have said before and I will say again that he should leave NJPW, since he is unhappy. I believe sometime in the future if he doesn't leave...it might ruin his wrestling career ultimately. I just hope his hell role goes over well and if not...I hope that he goes to another wrestling promotion.

[Pheonix_Chi25]

He claims he loves New Japan, well if you do why are you bickering to anyone who will listen about NJ pushing the younger stars? And he is a hypocrite because he has a younger wrestler in his army.

[ToXiK_James]

Tre man...If I was his personal manager I would tell him to leave. The statements that he has been saying sort of contradict themselves because he for one doesn't have a problem with the newer and younger talent but yet he does. I don't know what the deal is, but I would be out of there and over to AJPW or NOAH like white on rice.

Just to clarify, you guys do realize that comments made to the media and angles outside of HUSTLE are works right?

And you Pheonix. Try doing what Hisa says once in a while, since this is his site and all. Unless you want to be the next One to Go.
