What time tomorrow night, in EST? And how long will the show be? I'm just trying to gauge how long I'll have to stay up and how much of it I'll be able to watch.

So is this the end of Okada's insanely long reign?

I sure the hell hope not.

Ibushi betrays Omega to set that up at WrestleKingdom

No way Omega is staying with them after next year's WrestleKingdom, so I wouldn't put the title on him. Let Ibushi beat him next year at Dominion or something. But Ibushi never signs anything either, lol

It's got to be Danielson vs Okada at WrestleKingdom next year and Dragon takes the title!

It's because he isn't paired with Omega. It's the fans of The Elite that promote them so well, which is good for them, but they really piss me off because they tend to be "fake" New Japan fans that don't watch any shows that Bullet Club isn't on.

Just look at All In, 10,000 tickets sold in a half-hour. That's Cody and The Elite. New Japan is running a G1 show in California and it's only sold like 4 thousands tickets so far. You could say that's because there are no matches announced yet since they can't until this show is over

So do they put the title on Omega to boost those sales? I sure hope not, I hope they don't hot shot the title to Omega and ruin the greatest championship run at least since Punk's run, which I would argue Okada's run has been better than, but that's besides the point, just to sell more tickets

You could argue that it might be the opposite at work. Which is to say, the only way to keep him around is to put the title on him.

I agree with that

But did New Japan just make a 3 billion dollar deal with Fox? WWE has the money to throw around now more than ever, lol

If it was just about money Kenny would have already left I think. WWE's last offer had to have dwarfed his current pay. Sure, I guess they could give him an offer he couldn't refuse, but does WWE really want him that much? I doubt it. Still, I don't think he's going to stick around much longer the way things are going. He's not a young man. He doesn't have many more prime years left and he obviously wants to have a big WWE run before all is said and done. Though that doesn't necessarily mean I think Okada will lose. There has been logic behind him losing in the past few years but that never went thru either. He could easily leave tomorrow as the champion. I think it's probably the more likely outcome honestly. But if they really want to keep Kenny around, this is probably the last chance to set that up.

The money thing was just a joke, for the most part, but they badly want Omega in the WWE. Not only does he speak Japanese which is a huge selling point, not only is he gifted in the ring, which also helps, but with how the WWE has been doing the whole PC thing, I bet you they badly want an openly gay Superstar as well. Now I know people say that Omega is bi, but you can fudge that

I'm not saying this is the right thing to do, just what the WWE might be thinking.

But yes, putting the title on him might make him want to stick around, but you have to look at it this way as well. Where the fuck as he been? Okada as been working the shows even though he's not an attraction during this tour. Omega only works 4 or so matches a month these days, and he LIVES in Japan, so it's not like he didn't make the tour because of travel issues.

So I don't know if that's a reason for him to go or to not go to the WWE. I don't think he could keep up with the schedule, but I think they will sign him anyways and he will bomb
