According to PWInsider.com, Wrestle-1 has announced former X-Division Champion Seiya Sanada has signed a new contract with TNA, however it will allow him to make appearances for Wrestle-1.

As we reported earlier last week, The Great Muta feels Sanada being in TNA will help raise his star power in Wrestle-1, and help elevate Sanada to top star status in Japan.

Interesting.

Not sure how sending one of you better talents (judging by his comments) to America and missing most of Wrestle 1's shows help them, mind.

I think he might be working more dates in TNA.

Plus Muta worked in WCW and became a bigger attraction in Japan.

If TNA keeps up their current taping schedule and they coordinate a little bit on dates I don't know why it couldn't work.

Okada won 2 world titles after being in TNA. Obviously being in TNA does SOMETHING for them.
