Zayn will be the WWEs next big babyface.
Owens will be a heel.
Balor will probably play both. Kinda of like Undertaker or Muta.

Yeah, that was the point that I made in the post you quoted. :)

It's been long enough I don't know any of them.

You wouldn't really without having watched NXT. Owens at least has been on Raw for the past 2 months, but only wrestling sporadically.

I'm genuinely ignorant at this point. I've been out of the loop for a long time. Just trying to see if it's improved, and kind if excited about NJPW, and the El Luchidor brand mentioned earlier.

Finn Balor = Prince Devitt, he founded the Bullet Club which is a major faction in NJPW.

Kevin Owens = Kevin Steen on the indies. He was pretty good and fatter in ROH.

Sami Zayn = El Generico in the indies and ROH.

Trust me watch Kevin Owens matches and finn balor flopnut you'll love it also Sammi zayn!

I think you (and anyone who likes pro wrestling) owe it to yourself to check out things like NJPW or Lucha Underground, just to see what's possible outside of WWE's way of doing things.

Like, tell me this match (from yesterday's Day 1 of the G1 Climax tournament) isn't both tremendous AND something you'd never see on WWE tv:

Sooooo late last night WWE removed every reference of Hogan from their website and merchandise, etc...he's no longer listed as a judge for Tough Enough.

There's big time rumors that a video or audio is coming out very soon where he goes on a racist rant and uses the N word pretty generously.

This is crazy shit...Hogan also tweeted this:

@HulkHogan In the storm I release control,God and his Universe will sail me where he wants me to be,one love. HH

Booker T. wasn't playing around I guess all those years back.....

He's good, but a lot of the new talent is really really good. Rollins is probably the best all around . He controls the mic really well and his in ring is unmatched right now.

But Owens is special, Neville, bray Wyatt. Wyatt could be the best heel since HHH if the fans would stop cheering him.

Read on the internet Hogan went on some racial tirade, calling the Rock a ****er among other things.

WWE has removed Hogan from pretty much any associations he has w/ WWE (at this point)

Hogan is regarded as a pos behind closed doors in the wrestling community. Maybe some of it is fueled by jealousy, but there's been a lot of shady shit that's come across his path throughout the years. Sleeping w/ other wrestlers wives/gfs. Sex tapes. Him and his wife were always swingin' back in the day...it was only a matter of time before she moved onto younger men and left his crusty old wrinkly ass while she took a lot of his money in the divorce. Then there's the lawsuit his son was involved in, which IMO is the real reason why Hogan is still around. He needs $$$. He's like Ric Flair. He's broke and can't stay away. And being in WWE still gives him that feeling that people still give a shit about him and it strokes his massive ego.

Hogan was in a really dark place for a while and was on the verge of committing suicide at one point.

The guy has some inner demons. Not sure what was behind his racial tirade.

I am making my way through the G1 on NJPW World and havent gotten to this match but I am sure it's amazing, like pretty much every match over there. What's impressive is that Shibata has been pretty much a tag wrestler lately. And it looks like Bullet Club is working some red in and starting to look a little Wolfpack-y
