If NJPW Strong and Roh potentially merge what would be the pros or cons of it?
Post Body

After the news of Hiroshi Tanahashi saying that njpw strong is coming to an end. I think if it's true and strong is done I have some thoughts on it.

Pros: New Japan saves money by not dealing with production since TV Asahi doesn't want to help them produce strong and new japan isn't making a profit from strong. New Japan can look at the certain talent that has impressed them from strong and make them a deal where they can work in new japan and then work in the US on ROH. Tony Khan can handle the production while new japan gives them some new talent that can be used to help make it separate from aew. And this would put more eyes on the new japan talent in ROH a little more even if it's slightly. LA Dojo could become the dojo for both ROH and new japan. Young Lions can work in ROH like Jay, Yoh and sho did before heading back to new japan. The content can be released on NJPW World for the Japanese audience to get familiar with some of the talent if they come over.

Cons: New Japan US-focused shows going down which helped new japan get some footing in the us, especially during the pandemic.Another streaming service that will be expensive. New Japan won't acquire any talent in the process and they will just sign with aew or ROH hurting new japan in the long run. Talent won't be shared for new japan us shows in the near future if Tony says no.

That's all I can think of what do you think?

Comments

I think ROH's relationship with NJPW historically will be utilised as a bridge. That's similar to GCW's relationship with AEW being somewhat like CZW. It'll be a middle ground and a feeder fed. With an open door policy it can't go wrong right now. It's just a question of making money, and how it goes about that.

I don't think you've missed anything at all.
