What he's doing in Judgement day is more or less what he was doing in Bullet Club.
He just cant swear in promos anymore

That would be the majority of wrestlers who had the opportunity to wrestle in Japan.

Literally all of them. Difference between Japan and America is that Japan treats wrestling as a serious sport first, entertainment second. It's the latter in America and its always the worse for it.

This is way more interesting. Almost everyone is better in NJPW. WWE literally tries to keep everyone down except the current guy.

Brock was also a shitter in Japan, which is quite an achievement considering that the fucking Hulkster suddenly became a workrate machine when he wrestled there.

All the brainlets seething but you're right, because he wasn't "better" in Japan. AJ is probably the only guy who has been consistent everywhere he's been, great in TNA, great in Nooj, great in WWE. Truly the GOAT.

Good shoutouts.
Don't know about Bret, and Yoshitatsu always sucked in both places. Can barely tell where he's better. Not to mention he's just old and washed now.

Everything Yano and HoT do is plausible within the context of trying to win a match. When people shit on US wrestling for not being serious and sport like they're referring to scooter races and arcade brawls
