Remember how well the X-Box did in Japan? Yeah, expect that.
That’s true if you believe content and talent development is their only goal. I don’t.
Yep, and i don’t think that was by accident either.
If the Aussie scene continues to grow I wouldn’t e surprised to see an NXT Australia pop up.
It’s not. I think your argument would be based on your feeling that NXT is less sports entertainment than AEW but that doesn’t make it better.
That's not the only reason I think NXT is a better WWE alternative. I also think NXT is a more consistantly booked product. AEW is kind of uneven.
As far as the goals of NXT Japan... sure I imagine they want to do more than JUST create content and develop stars. And I'm sure New Japan ideally would LIKE to surpass the WWE in the States when they started running shows and trying to get TV here in the States, but I'm frankly assuming they're not expecting it or using that as a real barameter of sucess either. I'm sure Vince would love it if NXT Japan somehow someway became the top wrestling company in Japan... but if it falls well short of that and they're only able to create good content and create stars, then NXT Japan will have been able to justify it's own existance.

There hasn't been any news regarding Tazz recently. I find that unfortunate.
New Japan is looking to expand their market not take it over. They don't have the resources to attempt a hostile takeover of a region like WWE goes with it's regional NXTs. The best New Japan can do is establish a US branch like Dragon Gate did a couple of years ago and run a couple of shows.
