>>17721205Japan is the size of a shoebox. NYC was the biggest and greatest city of the world at the time. Nobody gave a fuck about Japan in the 70s, they generated 0 revenue and were basically a US slave slate.
All the guys you're talking about spent all day reading Japanese wrestling magazines which primarily talked about American territory stars like Bruno. That mark Inoki probably had a poster of Bruno on his wall.
Vince McMahon said Bruno was the most important wrestler in the history of the WWE and obviously that makes him far more important than some irrelevant chinese guy nobody in the 1st world even knows.
