Ibushi turned down WWE at least thrice in 2016 I'm afraid.

Somebody post the cap of Shibata in the crowd during a WWE show and looking visibly disgusted.

Cause they’re anti-dimes just like AEW. Japanese wrestling outside of sumo wrestling has NEVER drawn a dime anywhere in the world. Even New Japan, their biggest wrestling fed, is a small insignificant fed that very few people in Japan care about

Wrestling is a joke in Japan. Their biggest company holds one show a year in the Tokyo Dome in front of 26k people, and one show a year in the sumo hall in front of 20k. That's it. The rest of their shows are in half empty bingo halls and high school gyms. Nobody in Japan has given a fuck about wrestling since at least the 90s. There are probably only 100 fans per each wrestler over there.

It’s the Maradona effect. The best player turned coaches are the ones that weren’t all stars or main eventers. In Japanese wrestling, most of the big names have had some training under a midcard talent named Animal Hamiguchi. Or Don Shula in the NFL, footnote playing career that very few can recall, but is one of the best coaches the league ever had.

AEW does enforce any rules on regular talent let alone Japs. WWE will want them to learn English to cut a promo and try to adjust to a style that doesnt involve them sawdusting themselves within two years. In AEW they don't have to worry about either and are going to get overpaid for just being Japanese.

Shinsuke's peak in WWE is going on currently.
KENTA would get re-injured again each time he came back. It wasn't working.
KUSHIDA they didn't seem to try with, though I don't think he's made for American audiences either.
I do wonder if Tozawa hates what's he doing kek but I bet he had tons of openings to leave and didn't. Likes the money more, I assume.
