I spent a little bit of time thinking about New Japan today, which is a good sign for my potential fandom. I kind of think the main event of WrestleKingdom 12 should be Okada vs. Naito. Okada beat Tanahashi at WK10 and Naito at WK11. I'm intrigued to see if New Japan spend some real money on trying to get some guys locked in for the American expansion in order to try and work alongside or against Okada in order to give him some spotlight. My picks would be Kurt Angle and Rob Van Dam, as well as locking Cody Rhodes and Adam Cole down to contracts. As much as I'm not into him, if he hasn't signed with WWE yet, they should make a push to bring in Kyle O'Reilly. He'd make a good opponent for KUSHIDA at least.
I'd like to see New Japan produce some sort of video game too. I think it could help with product awareness and their "penetration."
