>>16637569NJPW have had their main event scene absolutely gutted these last few years. The fact that this ended up closing their WrestleMania this year is a testament to that.
They're doing the right thing in trying to get new talent ready to be elevated to the main event scene, but I think there is a fear that if talent get too over, Tony might start to get interested in cutting a check.
The problem is that they need to build new stars that the audience feels compelled to get invested in, but if they succeed in doing so and then the talent gets a big money contract with AEW, NJPW just end up burning their audience and make them more apprehensive about getting invested in future talent.
