Think about it. If Vince was to make WWE Japan the same way he made the original WWF, that would require robbing every other major promotion of their big names, paying them obscene amounts of money, and tanking the other promotions in the process.
Would Vince kill NOAH, Dragon Gate, and IGF the same way he killed WCCW, ECW, and the AWA?

I'm talking about how they killed off the other wrestling federations, not literal KILLING.

A big reason Vince was able to do what he did in the eighties was because the other promoters were also competing against each other and were reluctant to pool their resources against the juggernaut WWF. Some did run some cross promotional super cards but it was really too little too late. The Japanese promotions have gotten much better about working together and cross promoting events. It is a much different situation in Japan now than in America in the eighties. I think if anything Vince will face an abysmal failure on par with the XFL if he tries to squeeze out the Japanese promoters rather than working with him. I have also heard there is certain amount of Yakuza involvement in Japanese wrestling so that is also a rather deadly factor to consider.

Yes and no , though Vince did bring wrestling to the main stream , he did kill the variety of pre-wwe . As a fan of FMW and New Japan (both of which might be dead already sense I'm just now collecting the DVD's) it would be sad if he did because Japan is where non-WWE wrestlers get they're money . Japan imports American wrestlers and pays them well for the trip over and it's an experience they Cherish for a life time .
But yes , I do think it'll hurt them and might kill them off :(

No it wouldn't.
Puro fans aren't really too keen on the WWE style of wrestling. They'd tune it out in a heartbeat.
