>>19580561jesus christ grimseether, is ranting and raving about AEW all you fucking do?
you're referring to a time when vince (who was heavily anti-jap or at least jap resistant) ran WWE like his personal kingdom.
those days are done, Triple H is way more active in bringing in NJPW-tier talent, AEW guys, and joshi. Hell TNA has more money behind it now.
Even if AEW didn't exist, the situation for NJPW would be the same. The problem isn't AEW, it's that NJPW and Bushiroad refuse to fucking pay anyone a competitive amount of money. They seem to take care of 1-2 top guys and that's about it and with Naito leaving, people don't even seem confident that Bushiroad is even willing to do THAT anymore. AEW just makes the problem worse but NJPW would be losing guys to everyone right now with Bushiroad not paying up
Also making it in America as a Japanese wrestler was kind of an impossible pipe dream back in the day. Now, a lot of wrestlers have learned English coming up in school and there are precedents, so some of them are going to want that for themselves.
Basically the world has changed, stop being a giant pussy and either enjoy what's on your plate, or fuck off and eat something else.
