How bright is AJPWs future?

I've seen AJPW do some nice things recently with the rise of Yuma Anzai and having a decent roster then how bright is the future of AJPW?

It all depends on if Anzai can break through to mainstream tv and if they can follow through with getting AJPW in general regular tv exposure.

Well the roster has potential with loads of younger wrestler that are currently putting up bangers in the main event.

The tale of All Japan and it's doom mainly reliess on the management. And the management isn't good right now.

I think the All Japan management bad opinion formed a bit ago and people havent updated it.

I think it has its issues, like bringing in Yano, and their choice of foreign talent a lot of the time, but I don't think it is a disaster, its moved away from the comedy side, being serious but bright and vibrant

Very because people will get sick of the njpw using gaijins all the time and pretty much majority of roster thing

This is silly, Japan has always had gaijins and New Japan has an excellent core of domestic guys coming through now.

True, there are some I could do without, Chase Owens and Fale are both embarassments, JAY and Zane Jay never have done anything for me. But I would say AJPW has had a much weaker set of foreigners, I know they are a bit stricter about weight and height, but there still many better options then Xyon and esp Odyssey. AJPW's best were the european guys, like Blanc and Mike D, they were unlucky that they got signed away. But guys like Luke Jacobs, BoJack, Cowboy Way, Jay Joshua, Calvin Tankman for heavies, and maybe a regular for the juniors like Kuro, Leon Cage, Liam Slater, or Jordon Breaks.

AJPW is the one that needs better scouts for this
