Their best moves going forward are:
- Load that dojo up with new trainees and hope one or several of them stick. They should be able to afford a whole bunch of new people with Okada's large salary off the books. Sign rookies with that money.
- Don't use English speaking foreigners. If they are good, they will get poached. People like Oskar and Oleg might be safer bets because they aren't from countries where English is the main language. If you have to use English speaking foreigners, sign them to long contracts so WWE/AEW can't take them as quickly.
- Beg Tony to stop stealing talent, send the yakuza after him or continue to sit back and take it if you must.
