NXT Opens Their Own Forbidden Door, Working With AJPW

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Huh, I thought all those Japanese feds went into that working agreement to prevent specifically this.

I figured that was more to prevent WWE from gaining a financial foothold in the country. I don't see anything wrong with allowing NXT to send talent over.

Maybe the WWE wasn't the 'big-bad' that they were trying to protect themselves from?

[A Little Doo Doo]

Lexis King is going to become the most popular wrestler in Japan, mark my words.

[Allie Kitsune]

Sounds like they're sending Gulak over.

No it was likely to pressure the government over in Japan. Because they are pretty stubborn about venues and stuff still.

Let's be honest, there's really only one true Forbidden Door at this point but the day that WWE and AEW work together is the day I sprout wings out my ass and fly to Burbank.

But who else would have tried to get into Japan with money in an effort to push their own company in an overseas market while taking stars of their company to their platform?

All Jacy Pro Wrestling is going to be the best.

Something really tickles me about "Things are going wild in Japan right now!"

Yeah, sending NXT talents on excursion to AJPW isn't the same as WWE buying out AJPW to turn it into NXT Japan.

That would've been Vince's plan. Vince is now out of the picture. I'm guessing they see Triple H as someone much easier for them to do business with.

So what is happening in All Japan right now that plunking an NXT talent or two into would be interesting? Or, vice-versa, what names does All Japan have right now that would be interesting in NXT?

AJPW then ends the deal.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I think odds are that this will be like the time Ivy Nile competed for Booker T's local promotion. It seems like a big deal at first but the most likely scenario is that it's either a one off thing or a rarity.

Herb Abrams already tried that. It didn't work out for him.
