Where are all the up and coming japanese wrestlers? Seems like there's very few younger wrestlers on their roster who will carry the company. Okada will be dusted before he's 40, Tana, Ishii, Naito etc. are all getting old. What will they do?

Honestly this. There’s shooter whatever redshoes son and the shibata American group. There isn’t a huge crop of young jap talent. Ever since that roid dude got fired for murder or whatever they haven’t had any cool young lions. They also completely fucked over wato whatever so he basically disappeared after being a multi year investment

They'll just produce a bunch of new ones. Like they always do.

NJPW really has one of the oldest rosters in the world. I did a post a while back and the majority of guys have all been around 10 years or more.

People like Yuya, Yota and Ren and the American young lions have been young lions for 3+ years now. The American young lions haven't even been making the Japanese cards. Some of that is due to covid, but it also feels like they screwed up. Tetsuhiro Yagi, Takumi Honjo, Katsuya Kitamura and Teruaki Kanemitsu retired young.

I just don't get it really. NJPW is the biggest promotion in Japan. They have more money and more name recognition power than other feds. They should be able to pop-out 6 people a year no problem. Meanwhile, Dragon Gate debuted like 8 guys in the last 2 years and already has a lot of them figured into things.

Well... if they don't have new recruits (or snap wrestlers from other feds), they'll be done in a decade.

NJPW has always been about quality over quantity with trainees. That makes it extra painful when they wash out like Kitamura or come back looking lackluster like Wato -- they had a shitty Young Lion generation.

But Shooter looks great, Tsuji looks great, Uemura looks great. Both of the current Young Lions are incredible with their ring polish already, one of them is only 19 years old. And then on top of that, you have the leverage that NJPW has being the biggest promotion in Japan, meaning that they can always just go and poach younger talent cultivated by other promotions.

NJPW is fine and you're just exposing yourself as a non-watching casual desu.
