For Henare the proximity to home and his want to at least have some success played a factor, and he was rewarded with the best year of his career prior to the injury. For Cobb he prefers the New Japan ecosystem, which hides his flaws better than a stateside company would. Plus he has a sugar mama that takes him on trips around Asia.
