>>19046960Tony ruined Puro by trying to outplay WWE . He started overpaying most wrestlers in the states and the good wrestlers in Japan caught wind of this . He started overpaying the NJPW talent and most of the guys said “ fuck japan” . New Japan can’t match WWE contracts and sure as hell can’t touch AEW contracts . Their fucked .
Two outcomes
1. Tony could buy new Japan . Most talent would be paid better but I’m not sure Tony could ever make investment back . Similar to ROH , he can’t land a tv deal . Similar to AAA being owned by TKO.
2. They side with WWE and bring balance back to the contracts to become more profitable. Talent would get screwed . If this happens then Tony goes nuclear and overpays for talent he wants like ZSJ, Goto, Umino , etc .
I think option 1 kills Puroresu like the U.K scene died
