>>7972404Kidani thinks Stardom's ceiling is higher than what it might be and that he can mix their audiences together. Thing is that this is only something westerners and Stardom fans (who are already New Japan fans if you've ever looked at the merch their crowds wear) care about seeing. Not that New Japan fans are that offended by and offer match here and there, though.
This is why Ospreay vs Shota and Muta's last New Japan match are shoved onto this card, so then Bushiroad can claim the idea of mixing the 2 is a good one.
