they are, puro is just dead anyways. tanahashi said on his blog that the president said they were really close to folding during the pandemic. and they're still the number one promotion in japan and have the weight to push everyone around and job out kiyomiya. just goes to show how bad the state of it is at the moment and how raped it was by COVID

Robbie, Moloney, Oleg, Ospreay, Lawlor based. ZSJ is basically Japanese now so I don’t even know if he counts as gaijin.

I misremembered, sorry, it was actually the President himself admitting it.

> “It was a long time (that difficult period). I try to look at sales separately inside and outside the venue. Especially because of the Corona disaster. Inside sales are tickets and merchandise sales, which at one point were down 60 percent due to the decline in attendance. Even in the most recent year, it’s still down about 40 percent… it’s only back up to 60 percent.”

>“If we had continued with our existing business portfolio, I think the company would have ceased to exist within a few months, let alone take a major hit. The majority of our business was dependent on revenues from the venue. One day, Tanahashi asked me, ‘Boss, if this situation continues, how many more months will this company last?’ I could count on one hand. At the time, I could count on one hand. With a smile on my face, I replied, ‘Don’t worry.’”

I think COVID hit Japanese wrestling way harder than American wrestling because it's not as much of a TV product over there like it is here. Japanese wrestling companies are super dependent on getting people to come to their shows to make money, and if they can't do that, there's no money coming in

I'm calling it now. Tony will buy New Japan and Stardom from Bushiroad within the decade.

>New legislation requires advance government approval for a foreign investor to take a stake of 1% or more in any Japanese enterprise in 12 "core" strategic sectors, from defense to utilities.
Pro wrestling is not a "core" strategic sector, and even if it was Tony has enough money to grease all the palms necessary to make it happen. This isn't the heyday of national heroes like Inoki and Giant Baba. Bushiroad is a sleazy otaku company who produce shit for nerds.

Honestly this reads like hes working, I dont buy that it was actually that close. Japanese bosses do this often. The smile and ‘dont worry’ at the end give it away as bullshit

You're essentially comparing Fastlane to a House Show in a low population state, bro.
SJTL #3 wouldn't draw a milly either
