NJPW could not have been more vague on when All In was going to be added to NJPW World. Any tips for using their service?

Yeah.

Was expecting it to be up when I logged in this morning.

Hoping to watch it today.

*shrug*

But yeah All In was a fun show(tho I did skip a couple matches). Respect how they pulled this off.

Really wish the main event had more time. Makes me want a Rey/Ibushi 1 on 1 match.

Does this show motivate The Elite to go to WWE or stay put?

Reasoning?

Unless they're planning to run their own promotion or maybe co-promote with NWA, I don't see them continuing to do what their doing even with the success of the show. The Bucks have been stressing the travel on BTE, you can tell these guys want to go home more often. They look at Karl Anderson and see him hanging with his kids, having 6 pack of abs for the first time in life, and a hot asian wife. Bucks can have 2 of those things, but I don't see them getting a hot asian wife anytime soon.

Kenny will probably stay. I see Kenny staying until 2020 Tokyo Dome. I'm still predicting him vs. Nakamura for the IWGP title if Nakamura returns to NJPW next year.

Pretty much agree with this. Show was extremely successful, but I'm sure IT took A TON of work to put together.

WWE would allow the Bucks all of the things you mentioned on top of a fat paycheck. They've wrestled every other tag team out there 1000x times over at this point.

Cody's American Nightmare character (along with Brandy) would honestly be better fit for WWE than IT is for the Minors. He could be a main eventer with this character if pushed properly by Vince. Big if though.

Omega's ability to fluently speak Japanese makes him interesting. He can always be a major cog for NJPW and will be integral if they want to keep expanding outside of Japan. I also don't think the family aspect is as big of a deal for him as IT is to the Bucks and Cody. Still think he should go to WWE as he's already run through everybody in the Minors and he should display his talents on the biggest stage. Show everyone that he is truly one of the best.

This..Bucks, I think, will be the first to go..They've been on the indies the longest and you can tell the travel is breaking them down..You can see definite difference in their attitude about travel if you watch early BTE episodes and more recent ones..Plus, I think it's Matt, has kids that are about at that age where they'll be in school full time and realize their dad is gone a lot..Not that that wouldn't happen in WWE, but it's a lot easier to get a quick flight home from someone where in the States anytime you want than being in Japan/UK/AUS/Mex for 3 weeks outta the month and having to tell your kids you can't come home..Plus it's gotta be taking a toll on their marriages..That's a lot of time for a woman to be alone and having to hold everything down while their husbands are off traveling the world, hanging with their friends, and eating at the finest of TGIFridays/Cracker Barrels..

Cody I think will ride out this Indie wave for another year, maybe 2..He's got the money to put on another All In without the Bucks and he'll always be able to get the top indie/Japan/UK guys to be on the show (especially after how well this one performed)..I'm sure him and Brandi are about ready to start a family and they'll want one more big contract to secure their, and their children's, future..

Kenny is the guy who I see holding out the longest..If he does go to WWE it'll either be as soon as his current deal ends (which is soon) or he won't go for a til he's closer to 40 like AJ did..OUt of all the BC he's the one doesn't have to worry about a wife or kids, so I don't think he's in a hurry to leave a country/company he loves so much..But if he wants to be put in consideration for one of the best ever he'll have to go to WWE..Japanese wrestling isn't like how it was in the 70-90's when NJPW and AJPW were both huge and there was real competition for fans' money..Today it's pretty much NJPW is Japan's version of WWE..
