People need to understand that gaijins were booked differently back then. It's not like how it now where they bring in a bunch of nobodies to fill out the tours. They brought in top guys, who were already over in Japan from shows like pro wrestling world that Was a best of the NWA clip show.
The money was also insane, American promotions had to book around Japanese tours if their guys were going. Hansan might not have made Hogan money, and he wouldn't have replaced Hogan had he came over to the states. But he probably made Piper money for decades, where had he stayed in America he would have made Piper money for the handful of weeks he worked with Hogan.
