If I read correctly, Okada is saving his title shot from winning G1 for WrestleKingdom, meaning Okada/Styles is pretty much a lay-up, I'd think.

Elgin vs Nakamura would be awesome IMO.

There's no way they'd do Nakamura vs. Elgin unless Nakamura goes over.

I wouldnt mind seeing Nakamura with the ROH title

I wasn't suggesting it as a possibility. I just think it'd be fucking cool.

Elgin is complete garbage and New Japan realizes that he isn't anything they can put stock in, which is why they haven't gotten him for their shows like they did reDragon, Cole, Bennett and Maria.

I think Gedo and Jado were just more interested in junior heavyweights.

Well NJPW took all heels, really, so maybe they just didn't want/have a spot for a babyface?

I don't like Elgin, personally, but he's alright.

I think he's really fuckin' good, especially considering someone of his build.

Elgin is an amazing talent, and some people were unhappy he was getting the belt but it doesnt change the fact he's a good wrestler. But it's funny that the argument is NJPW didnt see any stock in Elgin cause he's "horrible" yet they're investing time in Bad Luck Fale who isnt a good wrestler at all.

No Dead, there is no logic there.

Gedo and Jado are bookers. Any of them being heels has nothing to do with their being booked and there is nothing to support your claim.

And what's there to support your claim that they didnt get Elgin because he's "horrible"? Even though they had talent in the past that werent legit trained wrestlers like the Gracies.

He's got the Bill Demott build with... all of the talent Bill Demott does. Elgin might be a little more athletic, but if you take Demott away from WCW and throw him in ROH with a time machine, I don't think you see much difference at all.

Elgin has always wanted to work in Japan, I've heard, and he'd go over well there I think: can work stiff, a powerhouse and he's not too tall so he wouldn't tower over the Japanese guys.
