>>10223593>It seems like NJPW is getting fuck all out of the deal.They got over 1 million US from the first Forbidden Door in revenue straight up, just from ticket sales. It was far and away their second biggest gate of the year behind Wrestle Kingdom, and this is for a show that requires little investment to really set up -- it just sort of happens.
For Forbidden Door alone, from a business perspective, it makes perfect sense for NJPW to partner with AEW. It's good business for them.
Having said that, I really thought AEW would want to send more of its young guys over for BOSJ and shit and they seem pretty hesitant to do that -- also not letting Danielson work the G1 is a bitch move. But again, NJPW is making big money from the deal so they really don't have anything to complain about.
