Clearly either the casting director or the main director must be a huge pro wrestling fan. I could understand a normal director wanting Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns because they're huge international stars in WWE, but it takes a real wrestling nerd to want to get Hirooki Goto. Even if he did win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship this year, Goto is far from a household name outside of Japan.
Now I want to see an AEW wrestler get cast to complete this forbidden door of wrestling crossovers, and you just know Kenny Omega would be begging for a spot in this. Dude's been in multiple Street Fighter commercials in the past and has a good relationship with Capcom.
