There are few men on either company's roster with as much experience as Triple H and Yuji Nagata -- heck, both are WCW alumni. A showdown between "The Game" and "Mr. IWGP" would be a chess match between two grandmasters and a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. There are, of course, differences between their careers, and it would be wise to note them when promoting the fight. While injuries and age have slowed down HHH, seeing him work only a handful of matches a year, Nagata -- who is actually 15 months older than Triple H -- still works a full-time schedule against the best Japan has to offer and holds his own every single night. Still, on the rare occasions when "The Cerebral Assassin" competes, it's against WWE's top stars, and he looks more than comfortable in the ring. Expect a match that starts slow and builds to a fever pitch, with both men digging deep into their arsenals. Nagata's knowledge of submissions would allow him to reverse a Pedigree attempt into something potentially devastating -- like a Nagata Lock III -- compelling HHH to pull his Indian Deathlock out of mothballs. Finally, all of the strategy and knowledge would go out the window, with both men trying desperately for a Pedigree or a Backdrop Driver. This bout would be undoubtedly be clinic between two men with doctorates in professional wrestling.
