Japanese Wrestlers in the US

​Nakamura seemingly jumped for specific reasons, in that his spot in Japan was clearly being taken over and he could make more money in WWE while working an easier style. ​I think that had he been able to remain on top for New Japan, he probably would have. I wouldn’t really call Asuka any kind of success on the main roster thus far. Wrestlemania and the ridiculously terrible follow-up pretty much killed her off as any kind of top draw on the women’s side. I think that for most of these guys, it’s just not worth it unless you’re trying to milk a few more years out of your career and need the money.
