>>18658512Honestly, I think they're aware of it and working to fix it but it's hard to back out of obligations.
Look at Forbidden Door. I didn't watch, but, from what I can see, there were only about 12 New Japan guys there and quite a few matches didn't feature any.
What I really find telling, however, is the fact that Stardom only had one performer there: Bozilla, who's been with the company a few months, isn't Japanese, and probably headed to AEW eventually anyways. And like it or hate it but Stardom has more momentum than New Japan at the moment, is in a better position to negotiate (most prestigious women's company outside WWE), and seems to be better protected.
I personally think Bushiroad is pulling back but doing it gradually because, for better or for worse, at the moment they depend on AEW to some degree.
