>>17702509He didn't understand the dad system, he didn't understand having guys like Chono around, he wanted to basically cut all of the elders from the NJPW locker room which turned THE ENTIRE LOCKER ROOM against him -- not just the old guys, but also the young guys who would one day BE old guys.
There's this bullshit anti-smark myth pushed by our resident /njpw/ Pollock psychopath about Harold having beef with the gaijin and Omega etc but the truth is that they had nothing to do with it. It was all about the disrespect to elders.
When they said Chono would not be invited to the G1, there was pretty much a full on insurrection against Harold. That was the final straw.
It's also why Chono got an earth-shattering pop the next year's G1 after Harold got fired. Nobody liked that self-mark who would post videos aggrandizing himself on social media.
