watts also banned moves from the top rope, right when they were getting in a good amount of japanese Jr HW talent and when they had some really good lighter weight domestic talent. Watts was a great promoter and booker, but time went by real fast for him

japanese success plays into Vader because it shows that he can translate his abilities to different styles

Kensuke Sasaki or Morishima? I don't think that either of them could really be drafted becuase they didn't spend enough time in the US. There's really only one Japanese monster star that would be a legit draft pick because he had an extended run in the US and won a decent belt, and was pushed fairly well in the US
