Foreign Aces

The guys are all back together to interview George Carroll, who spent time in a backstage role in Ring of Honor and more importantly as the NJPW Director of U.S. Operations until the end of 2017. He explains how he was brought into New Japan and his responsibilities with the company. That includes how the United States Title was introduced and the lack of a plan after the tournament for the direction of the title. Plus, we get into why NJPW didn't really have a plan for American expansion and why George was ready to do more if they gave him the green light to do so. George also goes into further detail on the official NJPW podcast that was supposed to be hosted by Camp and Crockett in addition to other plans that should have happened for additional expansion. George gives his thoughts on how NJPW could improve their American footprint, including better ways to work with ROH. We close the show with a discussion of the rumored new promotion and breakout stars for 2019.
