If WWE wants to have a Pacific brand though, a fed full of Gaijin isn't going to get viewers. Japanese fans will want people they're familiar with, just like we would. WWE would have to get a few big Japanese names to get any sort of attendance that they would want (as I can't imagine they plan on running Dragongate size shows.)
I think the biggest name WWE could possibly get would be Vader. Next would probably be Albert.
I can't imagine a lot of Japanese "free agents" signing with WWE, as I doubt WWE would let them keep free agent status and wrestle elsewhere. Anyway, I can't imagine any established NJPW, AJPW, or Noah star jumping ship to WWE, especially when WWE's style is so different than the style they already work.
