EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2003 It might help talent wise, but now, Hash and Mutoh have to find ways to integrate EVERYBODY into the mix, not just them and Tenryu. They have to get Kojima and Tanaka and Ohtani goin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheGame2705 Report post Posted February 25, 2003 AJPW-1 most likely since Mutoh likes the number 1 alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted February 25, 2003 It sounds like AJPW is trying to re-create the greatness of the AJPW/NJPW deal without the help of New Japan, at the time of the NJ/AJ merger, NJPW was number 1 and AJPW were a clear #3, with NOAH killing them. Now its three years later and NJPW and NOAH are still the top two feds, and AJPW is now at #4 with Zero-One at #3.\ This actually does more for Zero-One than it does for AJPW, Zero-One is now working with AJPW, and NOAH, so they'll always have a steady crop of talent for their shows, as well as the rumor of Nagata vs. Hashimoto for the 5/2 Dome show for Nagata's shot at being a V10 IWGP Champion. (Personally, I think it'll be Nagata vs. Takayama, but you never know) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Personally, I think it'll be Nagata vs. Takayama, but you never know) I'd be inclined to agree with Nagata vs Takayama to be honest. Hashimoto's TC win changes the politics of this situation significantly. There's no way that AJPW is going to allow their champion to do the job to Nagata. If anything, Hashimoto would have to job the title back to Mutoh at 4/12 if they wanted Hash vs Nagata. Otherwise the safe bet is Takayama vs Nagata unification match (which makes the NWF Title Tournament pretty much useless). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted February 28, 2003 If they did do the merger, they would have to cut some talent because they would have to much with both rosters. So who would you let go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you serious? AJPW has about as many wrestlers as a local indy fed does and Z1 is pretty much some good juniors, Hash, Otani, and Tanaka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest PlatypusFool Report post Posted February 28, 2003 Both companies bolster their rosters with meaningless gaijins, if they cut out those and then joined the native rosters, only bringing in important outsiders, they'd have about the right amount of wrestlers needed.
