>>16210598>he was gonna leave regardless cause Bushiroad can't outbid TonyKenny started contract negotiations with New Japan in 2018 before he'd even met Tony. The Bucks wrote in their book that they didn't seriously consider leaving until Kenny told them he was unhappy with the state of his negotiations. He didn't ask for them to pay as much as WWE would, he didn't ask for them to pay as much as Tony Khan would, what he wanted was to be paid what the company was paying Okada. They had the ability to do that, but not the desire to do so. If they'd given him Okada money he would've happily stayed in spite of the fact that he could've gotten more money elsewhere and New Japan would've gotten a successful western expansion in return for doing so
