[Sad news]
BULLET CLUB member Bad Luck Fale (41, NJPW) stated in a recent interview that he believes he and Tama Tonga (40) are overlooked in New Japan because of racism that is normalized in Japanese culture.
>"I hate to talk about this kind of stuff because, for me, it's not easy playing victim. I grew up being cast or pushed aside because of where you're from or the color you are. I accept that and don't give a fuck about that. That's why we never get pushes or championships or whatever. I understand that because in Japan, it's normal. That's normal to them. They can be completely racist in front of you and that's normal, that's the culture. I expect that because that's the culture. There is no word for in-between. You're either black or white. It hurts, but you have to learn how to live with it and move forward as best as you can. I think Tama could be IWGP Champion, I think he can be, but it's hard for me to see it because of that type of culture."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tOl1IpYZD4https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/bad-luck-fale-it-hurt-not-be-part-all
