>>15635844>>15635880Wrestling is a carnie business, brother. Even moreso in Japan, though a lot of western fans don't realize it because a lot of stuff happens behind the scenes these days.
But when NJPW found out Choshu planned to leave and create his own promotion, they literally made it an on-screen angle to pressure him, lol. Now THAT's carnie shit.
A wrestler almost always chooses their wallet btw, it's a hard business to fucking make a living in.
