Ironically it's one of the least evil things they've done for a long time...


I mean, from all the talk I've seen about EVIL, I'm pretty sure New Japan fans gonna rejoice.

Must have owed New Japan a favor

I wish him nothing but success

Is bro really that bad?

 

[Hoss]

Mostly just bad for 2020s New Japan I'd say, I think he'll be okay in WWE, obviously depending on how they want to utilize him.

 

[Jimmy King]

I liked him when I watched NJ but that was pre 2020. He’ll probably be fine in WWE tbh. He’s a big man and they like those there.

I think New Japan just put way too much stock into him. Like as a member of LIJ he was perfectly fine but as the leader of House of Torture he was awful.

 

[Y2Jayne]

How is his mic work ?

 

[Kairi HoHo]

I've gone on the record to say EVIL is not shitty it was New Japan and how they booked him once he left LIJ. People need to go back and see him with LIJ he was going to be the next big face I thought and once they turned him heel it went into the Garbage Can. I hope he stays a Heel he's great as one and if WWE books him right we might actual have a legit Heel group if he gets one in WWE in quite some time. Not cool Heels but ones you want to fight.

EVIL signing with the WWE for more money and turning his back on New Japan Wrestling wasn't just greedy it was also purely evil.

I don't really think so, he was very bad for NJPW with how they booked him for a time but once the actual main event push was over, the entire House of Torture shit kinda became ironically good to me. They rarely won the big matches and it was usually was bc all their stupid interference fuckery got comically prevented somehow, was peak entertainment for me.

I don't really think he'll do much in WWE if I'm honest bc he's still not special, and he is pretty funny so if he can't get over doing anything else, he might get set in a comedy role which I don't have much faith will be written well. But if they do House of Torture shit well enough, I think that goes over way better in WWE than it did in Japan

I'd love if he came in and just became a major deal and was super over though, that seems like the funniest timeline for me. I can't even fully imagine what the discourse would be like

He'll fit nicely in Naka spot. Hope he likes surfing
