Looks to be headed that way so add another name to his ever growing list. www.sescoops.com/john-hennigan-possibly-headed-to-new-japan-pro-wrestling/The part that interests me is that NJPW is according to this loosening their strict policy only working with CMLL luchadors If I am understanding it. Makes me wonder does this mean LU AND NJPW talent exchange? something I have been wishing for to get them working together the IMO two best companies Pentagon In NJPW....Suzuki in LU? oh idk if my heart could take that much awesome.

Hopefully he can hit all of these places and eventually make his way back to the WWE to wind down his career. I have no faith that they’d use him right, but he could have a great feud with the Miz in the upper mid if nothing else.

Nah, dude's been doing great on his own hustle, and has reached that coveted "Doesn't need WWE" status.

No thanks, WWE has enough talent that they under-utilize So does NJPW, but here we are. In all seriousness, though, good on him if he can swing it. I like when people can be journeymen in this day and age, and while I wouldn't hate if he ended up in WWE again, and I am sure he and Miz could have a good feud at this point, I'm not hurting for it, either.

Suzuki in LU is such a damn lateral move. The only thing would change is that there will more murder.

Not sure exactly where he would fit. I guess it would make for some interesting match ups but eh

That would be a decent pick-up for New Japan. I don't see him being a tippy top guy, but he would be a solid roster depth guy to add to tournaments. One thing that springs to mind for me is him being a good challenger for Jay White and the US title.

Between his WWE peak around '09 and some of his Lucha Underground work, I honestly think if Johnny Lastname had spent a couple years going all out in a workrate-heavy promotion like ROH or NJPW, he'd be rated up there with Styles and Rollins as one of the best workers of this generation.
It's probably too late for that now, but I'd still love to see what he'd pull out in that sort of environment.

"Johnny New Japan Pro Wrestling" is a bit much. How about we shorten it to "Johnny Wrestling"?

Good for him. Dude has busted his ass since leaving WWE, he deserves the global recognition. I hope he goes by Johnny Gaijin or something equally ridiculous.

Johnny Japan sounds like something out of a racist war propaganda pamphlet published in Blitz era Britain to encourage people to sign up.
