Well, that alludes quite a bit to what most likely did occur
Plot twist of this meaning Nakamura has a daughter and it was her dance recital would be beyond hysterical
I was wondering if it was a little tribute but damn, that makes a lot of sense.
Such a shame it couldn’t happen no matter who’s fault it is
Is it crummy? Absolutely.
Have they been strict on it for years? Yeah.
I don’t get why people are so tilted by it
whats funny people will still find a way to blame tk even when TK himself said he didnt block nakamura we all know how petty wwe has been in the past
There was a very slight delusion in my mind that he’d pop out after nait, but alas the fed wouldn’t let that happen ever.
At least Nakamura got to be there in spirit but him, and AJ Styles for that matter, not being allowed to be involved is so gross.
I remember when WWE struck a deal with TNA to allow Ric Flair to attend the Hall Of Fame induction of The Four Horseman in exchange for a one off for Christian Cage TNA appearance.
I know AEW didn’t let Sting appear for Lex Lugers Hall Of Fame but New Japan is completely different company. Its obvious their deals are a one way street of “What can you do for me”. New Japan doesn’t have anything WWE wants so fuck’em I guess.
Even Vince once allowed kenta for one match
And this damnn company didn’t allow Nakamura for even a appearance
What a bitch ass company WWE can be man
A true shame that Nakamura couldn’t be there. I held out hope until the very end that maybe he’d pop out and surprise everyone, but alas. He was the one missing piece.
Unfortunately WWE fans won’t care. But I don’t know why they do that, there is just no reason
I really hate that Shinsuke wasn’t allowed to go show some love I get it contractual things and all that but it wouldn’t have hurt WWE in the slightest to send him there to support but if AEW Talent wasn’t involved then I think they would’ve allowed him to go it’s sooo stupid
Nakamura is probably the single wrestler I’d be most interested in seeing whether they still can go
I’m 50/50, leaning more towards no he’s full Naito at this point
But man one last great Nakamura epic would be special, after not having seen one since Nakamura/Ibushi which I think is in the pantheon of great matches
Would be cool if wwe allowed him to at least show up at the end. He didn’t have to wrestle. And yes, that falls on wwe, not njpw, not AEW, not anybody but them. Their history of being petty is long
HHH/Nick Khan couldn’t even let Nakamura, Styles or Balor record a message to show on the screen, let alone attend in person?
“No! Tanahashi works for New Japan and New Japan are friends with AEW so you’re not even allowed to mention him, let alone show appreciation!”
While I wouldn’t be totally surprised at WWE not letting a member of their roster appear on another companies show, I do find it odd that there is precedent for Nakamura doing so, as he has wrestled at least two NOAH shows that I’m aware of while under contract to WWE. Really odd, and really sad, it would have been awesome to see him there.
What’s the reason he couldn’t show up to give flowers like all the others?
I honestly have no idea why WWE wouldn’t allow Nakamura to show up. Slap a belt on him, make him hold it while he walks to the ring (like Bushi did), and you have active product placement on another company’s biggest show of the year.
But yeah, not allowing employees (sorry, “contractors”) to engage in any non-WWE activities for whatever reason is a time-honored tradition, so why would I be surprised.
If he’s referring to Nak, he couldn’t be there because he is under contract with WWE.
Nakamura in a Mister Donut sweatshirt warms my heart.
It was Hornswoggle.
W Takeshita what a goat
It just proves that WWE has no respect for wrestling. No respect for legacy.
Typical american ignorance on WWEs side to think they can pull that off without hurting their own reputation.
That picture at the bottom is very surreal, like seeing a diffrent universe or something where they’re just average people
shitty he couldn’t be there
the entrusting of the armband is so rad though
Everyone assuming Takeshita was alluding to wwe stopping Nakamura from going is the usual sicko cope. Wash your hands, turn the page. Same cope as ever. Fed bad at all costs
I wish Takeshita had come out during the ceremony and tie that red armband on the Ace. Would of been an excellent symbolic gesture of goodwill.
WWE can’t possibly have AEW wrestlers being seen with their roster on events
I’m surprised TKO didn’t try to counter program against WK because of the AEW guys on the show and Andrade being on it. Side you know Nick Khan would do so in the blink of an eye.
Konosuke “Harry Potter” Takeshita
Wwe smh
It’s so cringe seeing comments calling WWE the fed
There was a good match on smackdown between nakamura and cena
I do wonder if TKO blocking Nakamura from being there for Tanahashi will end up making more than a few Japanese wrestlers second guess a move to WWE.
