The only problem I could see them having with Elgin, and quite a few indie guys actually is that they tend to riff off a lot of Japanese guys. Elgin can be pretty guilty of that at times.
Cole and reDRagon will fit in well with New Japan though. Not so sure about Bennett.

And finally, New Japan announced a working relationship with Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling. super mega awesome huge news that New Japan has decided to join The Force®. that'll give GFW access to Japanese stars like Tanahashi, Okada and Nakamura, and gives New Japan access to American Global stars like Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett and...

And finally, New Japan announced a working relationship with Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling. super mega awesome huge news that New Japan has decided to join The Force®. that'll give GFW access to Japanese stars like Tanahashi, Okada and Nakamura, and gives New Japan access to American Global stars like Jeff Jarrett, Karen Jarrett and... I don't think New Japan would even entertain the idea of working with the Jarretts unless they had something legit going on.

I don't get the Bennett hate people have dude has a great look and is a pretty good wrestler well let me break it down for you why he gets hated on. Reason #1: Michael Bennett was (and always will be) a "Jim Cornette guy", one of the wrestlers he handpicked to be the new stars of ROH to replace longtime fan favorites like Austin Aries, Colt Cabana, El Generico, Kevin Steen, etc. Reason #2: Due to being a Jim Cornette guy, like Alberto Del Rio in WWE, Michael Bennett was booked to become a big deal fairly quick in ROH. after securing a spot on the roster in late 2010, he barely lost a match during his first year. he won the Top Prospect tournament, he won every match in his feud with Steve Corino, and he beat guys like Colt Cabana, Mark Briscoe, Jimmy Jacobs, Kenny King and former WWE superstar Nick Dinsmore, and lost only five matches during that period, which were to Roderick Strong, Christopher Daniels, Shelton Benjamin, Jay Lethal and (for some reason) Rhett Titus. they bring in Lance Storm, and Michael Bennett beats him in two of their three matches. they bring back Jerry Lynn for his final match in ROH, and he loses to Michael Bennett. Reason #3: On top of his super push right out of the gate, Bennett is a guy that looks like the stereotypical performer that WWE goes after. as such, it never felt like his push in ROH was to make him a future staple of the company, it felt like it was done because everyone felt he would be signed by WWE before long and they wanted to go "we had him first". CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, Tyler Black, etc. all their ROH runs were natural, so ROH fans can look at them in WWE and go "that's our guy", but Bennett's was beyond forced and came across as they tried to put the ROH stamp on him because they (like most people at the time) expected him to be signed by WWE by now. Reason #4: he married Maria. son of a bitch is lucky someone hasn't tried to run him over with a car for that one

They just announced this year's G1 Climax Field Block A:Hiroshi Tanahashi Satoshi Kojima Yuji Nagata Kota Ibushi Katsuyori Shibata Shinsuke Nakamura Tomohiro Ishii Shelton Benjamin Davey Boy Smith, Jr. Doc Gallows Bad Luck FaleBlock B:Togi Makabe Hirooki Goto Tetsuya Naito Hiroyoshi Tenzan Kazuchika Okada Toru Yano Minoru Suzuki Lance Archer AJ Styles Yujiro Takahashi Karl AndersonThe idea of having Tenzan wrestling 10 singles matches in 3 weeks seems very poor. I'm not a fan of the G1 being so big. At least the shows aren't all back to back like last year.

With those blocks, I'm thinking it's going to come down to a final of Nakamura vs. Fale where Nakamura wins and goes on to Wrestle Kingdom to dethrone AJ which would then set up Nakamura/Okada as the big feud for next year.
