Pro wrestling is comically irrelevant in Japan. It died with the MMA boom that died when PRIDE died. There are no casual wrestling fans left in the country. There's no market left. There are no recognizable stars. It's known as a joke propped up by the yakuza, if anyone gives any thought to it at all. The Japanese economy is in the shitter and there's no sign the industry will ever recover unless WWE steps into the market.
Selling out to a billionaire American money mark is the smartest decision NJPW can make at this point. Orientalist weeb retards who think the Japanese actually care about bushido honor and all that made-up samurai movie shit will be upset about this decision. But it's time to cash out. It's over.
