+1, thanks so much. My bad, confused it for the Hass match where he won with the top rope dropkick.

I have to admit that the top rope drop kick is damn impressive to a WWE crowd for a guy that size.

Well I do believe that there is a hatred now going around for ROH just because they are doing so well that now they are on the radar to be criticized heavily.

Morishima is awesome. He would be a perfect fit in the WWE. Although I read somewhere that he used the old "Orient Express" theme...they need to stop that instantly. I hope something big comes of this

Keep dreaming about him being signed. He's the champion of the #1 company in Japan, and I don't think he's in a hurry to go to WWE. WWE has been interested in Morishima for a couple years, and he was in the area for Harley Race, and he got him booked while he was there. Just like with Bryan Danielson. WWE has interest, and putting them in dark matches is a display of that, but they are occupied elsewhere.Have we seen pics of any other dark match wrestler, shaking hands with the owner of the company?.. Did we see pics of Danielson shaking hands with Vince?.. No..

That Orient Express Theme was my ringtone at one time. Every Asian person should have that theme just like in the old days..

Well that was more a formality because Harley Race brought him in and Harley is in very good standing with Vince. But you do make a good point.

So I guess that Morishima is close but WWE might be getting cold feet unless NOAH act's quickly
WWE is in talks with Pro Wrestling NOAH so that the company can sign former ROH Champion Takeshi Morishima. The latest details from discussions are that WWE is getting cold feet.
Morishima faced and won his matches against Charlie Hass in a RAW dark match and Jamie Noble in an ECW dark match this week. During the Smackdown tapings, ECW's Tony Atlas was with Morishima at ringside. WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race accompanied Morishima and represented him.
NOAH allowed Morishima to work with WWE as long as he does not appear on TV and could not do a job. If he signs with WWE, he will have to drop the Global Honored Crown Heavyweight Championship and it's believed that NOAH will receive a payment from WWE.

And Morishima was a special guest of Harley Race.

Woah, that's a crazy update, I'm actually pretty suprised WWE wants him, considering his style is way different than anyone else's in WWE. Also, alot of Morishima's moves are ones that top stars would never take, like the Uranage. Anyways, this will be a big lose to NOAH, losing one of their top stars. Can't wait for another update.
