>>17500517>while other guys from his generation were still thriving.Like who? They were all broken by the mid 90s, too. Even the generation after Maeda (e.g. Suzuki, Funaki) were completely shot and in the same situation he was: unable to really take part in the MMA boom because their bodies said no thanks.
Also I wasn't just talking about yen pouring in for Maeda himself. Many people made a lot of yen out of the movement he helped kickstart.
No denying he was a cunt, but he was a visionary cunt at least and knew where the next source of yen was before most.
>>17500520Sayama was just as much of a cunt as Maeda, and a retarded ultra right-wing racist, too. A lot of Maeda's cuntiness came from being bullied for being Korean when he was a kid/teenager.
