>>5389166No, Meij wanted to grow NJPW and then didn't want to work with AEW because he was understandably pissed about the guys who were supposed to be at the centerpiece of NJPW's western expansion fucking off to start their own promotion. Rocky/the Bucks/whoever Dave's NJPW source was would feed him lines about how all the boys hated him.
It doesn't matter because he got fired due to a bunch of old Japs getting pissed that he left Chono off of G1 commentary because Chono bitched about them trying to expand into the US and also because he made himself too visible at shows and was popular with the fans unlike traditional Japanese businessmen. In reality, they just hated that a gaijin was running the promotion.
