They own everything from NJPW's glory days and any clips on social media or Youtube are instantly censored by them.
Japanese corporations are fucking retarded, run by out of touch boomers who don't understand the internet or social media due to their culture of elder worship -- so you get stuck with stuff like this, where AJPW and the Four Pillars are becoming way more influential in modern wrestling just because of how difficult it is to find old NJPW stuff (even though it was more popular in its time).
Really, they just keep shooting themselves in the foot over and over again.
Hashimoto was the biggest draw in Japan in the late 80s and 90s. He's probably a top 5 draw NA or JP for 90s wrestling. But he's almost unheard of in the west (aside from the odd WCW appearance) thanks to these idiots.
