10 Wrestlers Who Are In Da Wrong Company

It’s becoming increasingly clear with each passing week on Monday Night Raw that a return to New Japan Pro-Wrestling could be the ideal path for Bronson Reed to realise his full potential.

Booked to beat Kazuchika Okada by Gedo during his last run, TAFKA Jonah looked and felt the part in the promotion during his 2021/22 stint, and not just because the organisation was getting increasingly low on new and interesting stars by then. It continues to be a problem, and Reed is the solution. 

Revered tournaments such as the G1 Climax and New Japan Cup, offer the perfect stage for Reed to prove himself once again against some of the best new wrestlers in the world without worrying about being normalised by endless defeats on weekly television. It wouldn't be an understatement to call a potential return transformative on both sides. Reed desperately needs more than what he's currently getting as an undercard also-ran, while NJPW's post-boom product is perpetually in need of somebody with equal parts experience and freshness. 

He might not change the game, but he'd at very least make it look worth playing again.
