This is pretty huge. Anderson and Gallows is a huge shocker to me, I like them but I don't see them as guys WWE would go out of their way for.
Kind of bums me out, I liked the idea of AJ being a self made man outside of the WWE and it sucks to see NJPW lose big name guys in one fell swoop like this, and I'm incredibly nervous about how they'll be treated unless they're NXT exclusive for the long haul.
With AJ off the list there aren't any big name guys who've never been contracted to WWE are there?

Signing them is quite the coupe
Using them correctly I have absoloutley no faith in
I am interested in how long the deals are for...I expect the Bucks once their deal with ROH is up by years end are next.

If anything, both companies probably needed that. As good as NJPW has been, I feel like it's been variants of the same few upper card matches for the last 2-3 years.

The Bullet Club needs to just die.
This is certainly interesting. I'm interested in seeing what Gedo does.

I'm almost certain this means Naito is getting his due now as a main event guy, and hopefully Goto will too. I knew this year was going to be big for NJPW but this is quite the shakeup. I'm interested in seeing where it goes.

Wow.
I mean wowie zowie.
I've never even met Anderson, but out of this news, I feel the best for him. Doing so much so many places for so long, finally getting to WWE.
Honestly, at this juncture, I don't think absolutely any new signee skips NXT.At least a month or two there will help weed out another Sin Cara instance.

I'm interested in seeing where it goes. Naito, Goto, Shibata and even Ishii will have to be moved up to help fill the void. They may have to call back Suzukigun from NOAH as well, K.E.S is needed for the tag division.

Nakamura to be paid peanuts to jump to NXT. "BUT he'll be booked much better than he would be on the main roster. THAT'S what matters!" Tbh, that's always funny to me when people mention booking. Yeah guys can be booked better anywhere they go, if they go to ROH or even a backyard indie scene they'll be booked better than ever but no, that's not why guys go to the WWE and NXT. They do it for the exposure, talent, what it means and of course the money. These dudes wanna be paid for their skills. If they cared about booking they'd stay in Random Indie Federation #394949 owned by their cousin Tommy. Don't talk about Tamashiro "Tommy" Kurosaki's Other Japan Pro Wrestling like that. But on a serious note, fans want to see talented wrestlers booked the way that they feel their skills merit. They don't want to see a talent the caliber of Nakamura be used to "Make Roman Look Strong".

if this is true I'm really into it. Would love to see these guys in WWE and it'll allow for some new blood to flow into NJPW.

Seems like time for a shakeup in NJPW. Maybe disband CHAOS as well as the Bullet Club and start new stables.

Charlotte's such a natural heel. Damn them for trying to make her a straight laced babyface. Charlotte to NJPW confirmed

If this is true I'm happy they'll probably be getting a nice pay day but they'll be completely wasted and just fed to the current main eventers.

What is it about January 4th and big moments?
- Tokyo Dome show each year - Foley wins WWE Title - Fingerpoke of Doom - TNA Monday Impact debuts - Shawn/Bret reconciliation
And now today, the WWE straight up ravages NJPW by taking four guys hours after Wrestle Kingdom

If anything WWE helped out NJPW
NJPW needed fresh blood especially into the main event and WWE grabs talent they will no doubt waste and have no idea how to use.
