>Anyway Arsion is formed, and things start out well enough. The deal was that Aja would join as the booker, and this was a key part of her agreeing to go with him. Soon Rossy started meddling with the booking (you'll notice that random luchadores start appearing, and the bikini content doubles) ultimately throwing all of the company's resources behind super green rookie Ayako Hamada, who never quite managed to get over. Rossy was throwing tons of money into a pointless singing/idol project called "CAZAI" while the company had no TV and was circling the drain in terms of gates.
>(Side note: Rossy is generally regarded within the scene as a terrible booker. He doesn't really have a sense of how builds work, or how gimmicks get over, or how finishes work or any of that. He's very much a "mark booker" that most just books stuff like luchadores, clap-clap-spot style matches, tall foreign model-types, and gimmick events like themed tournaments or whatever. Ever notice that 90% of Stardom's matches are pointless card-filler tags that end in a draw more often than not? Yeah that's because he's got nothing.)
>Eventually this led to all sorts of drama backstage, and Aja eventually quit in 2001. This resulted in a trial (the details of which I'm not getting into here) where Ogawa was found guilty of misconduct and order to pay significant compensation to Aja. The judgment helped put the final nails in Arsion's coffin. He then tried to reboot the company with new backers as AtoZ with Hotta, but it also quickly went out of business. He then vanished into the weeds for a minute, before being hired by Jd' as a consultant to try to save the company. They almost immediately went under. This was likely going to happen anyway but at the same time, Rossy's contributions were very ...not good
