Austin vs Brock Could have been a massive draw on PPV. But Vince wanted to throw the match away for free on a random RAW and Austin walked out.

Not quite sure about this one. The one thing holding Regal back was always himself. Every time a company gave him a chance he screwed it up, because of his massive drug use. A drug free Regal though I think would have worked in every era.

Mark Henry could have been a massive star in the 80's in promotions like Mid South. In ring wise he blows guys like JYD out of the water without being too modern.

Tiger Hattori On an episode of Talk'n Shop they talked about how he is the guy backstage in New Japan who you absolutely don't mess with.

It definitely somewhat sucks for Jarrett, but I guess he knew beforehand that this would happen. New Japan had to have this planned for a while. With no official English version available New Japan World is still a thing reserved for the true hardcore international NJPW fans. Most of them probably already found a way around the limitations of NicoNico and would have watched that to get the full card or they would have waited for it to pop up on Dailymotion. I don't think those were the guys Jarrett was aiming at anyway and Jim Ross said as much when he said that his commentary is aimed at people new to New Japan. If that strategy is going to be a success is another question, but we'll see.

Hi I'm Paul originally from Germany, but living in Denmark right now. I'm 26 years old and my wrestling history is quite unusual. I actually did not watch any wrestling until 2007, when I started watching the one hour condensed versions of Smackdown available on TV in Germany, no RAW though since that was only available on Pay TV and nobody gets that in Germany . But I stuck with just Smackdown for a while before my interest petered off when SD got cannibalized during a draft. I came back to wrestling in 2010 during the Nexus angle and have stuck with it ever since. For a while I only watched WWE, TNA and occasionally ROH until about a year and a half ago when I plunged headfirst into pretty much everything. Since then I have consumed more wrestling than is probably healthy for the human mind.While I still have some very large gaps in what I have watched (I have not seen a single All Japan match from the 90's) I know too much about other areas (Midnight Express vs Jobber matches for example). I am a serious mark for Okada and with my New Japan world subscription and Okada's imminent ascent to top guy in New Japan that is only going to get worse. Also since I came quite late to the whole wrestling party I have the advantage of having no sentimental attachments to anything, so I can judge everything on it's own merit and not because I liked it as a kid. Except for maybe MVP's US title reign and Edge because those were the first wrestling things I ever saw. My favorite things in wrestling: 1. The Midnight Express 2. Kazuchika Okada 3. Shinsuke Nakamura 4. Continental Wrestling 5. A well worked tag match 6. Bobby Heenan 7. Paul Heyman saying Brock Lesnar 8. Macho Man cutting a promo 9. Fat guys doing moonsaults 10. Bobby Fish doing that pirate throat slash thing during reDragons entrance
