Kushida is reportedly going to WWE per Meltzer.
It's already known his last match is against Tanahashi at the end of the month.
So... will he go to 205 live, NxT or form a tag team, or faction?
he doesn't seem like a really huge name coming from Japan... as opposed to a well experienced veteran...

This pleases me. It's not the big name splash most were hoping for, but KUSHIDA can slip into the NXT and/or 205 roster pretty well without people losing their minds about his "mistreatment". Bring on a figure Mattel!

He would do great on NXT, but hearing Drake Maverick on 205 talking about being more competition from around the world, i would not surprised if hes on 205 Live

Is this the dude who tagged with Alex Shelley as part of the Time Splitters?? If so, then yes! Come to the WWE, please!
Also, I would be okay with Chris Sabin coming to the WWE and competing for 205 Live.

He has been one of the main stars of NJPW's Jr Heavyweight division the last couple years. Hope he gets to keep the jacket though... |

Good get for WWE but I really hope he's place on the main roster right away,he's turning 36 in a few months and has been wrestling way to long to be put in the NXT system.Not a huge fan of 205 Live or the cruiserweight division in general with it not being needed in today wrestling world however he could give the brand a boost and him vs Murphy could be pretty fun.

This pleases me, but with how poorly they've treated guys like Taka, Akido/Jimmy, Tajiri, and more recently Shinsuke on the main stage...I'm concerned.

I'm a big fan. Interested to see what they do with him. I'm hoping come October that 205 Live will be infused more into the Smackdown product since that show will seemingly be more sports than entertainment. I always wanted to see Kushida moved up the ladder after exhausting pretty much every outlet as a junior by the time he won the J-Cup. I love his look and was a huge Time Splitters fan and I just hope the best for him. He's worked plenty of ROH. So even if he does go through NXT, I think his time there will be short. He's a world class performer and I don't see his learning curve to be anywhere near what it took for Itami or Nakamura based on how much time he's already spent in North America over the last 5 or so years.

honestly, if he's on 205 live we'd probably sooner see a bunch of Kushida/Itami/Tozawa vs the Lucha house party matches before any Kushida vs Murphy matches....

I have no words other than hoping he gets over with an enduring gimmick, doesn't get injured, and I look forward to getting a figure of him.
I've pretty much given up on most wrestlers succeeding at this point. WWE is... something...

I'm a big fan of KUSHIDA. I'm really excited for him joining WWE and I hope he does well. I'm really trying to be optimistic. |
