>Foreigners coming to Stardom was always a Rossy thing, he grew up loving international stars like Danny Hodge, Billy Robinson, Lou Thesz, etc. That stuck with him thru his entire professional career. I know that wrestlers here became friends with gaijin, but I wouldn't say that ever swayed Rossy. Everything you see in Stardom comes from him. Whether it is promos in the ring or finishes or whatever. Everything. Even under Bushiroad.
>Stardom had an apartment for all the gaijin, for many years. When the pandemic began, they didn't need to keep paying rent on an empty apartment. So they let it go. Jamie wanted to come back. Bobbi, Zoe, etc. But they needed to work and NXT UK was there for them.
>My personal feeling is Stardom is fine without any gaijin, and if we bring any, who is even left out there?
>And from a previous post, I wouldn't exactly say Kagetsu advocated for any gaijin wrestler, ever. Hana maybe but still, that wouldn't really affect what Rossy does.
>Sometimes he'd tell me I need new foreigners. And I'd search all over, or talk to promoters. Bobbi was going to come for her first tour, then couldn't make it, that's how Zoe Lucas got her first tour. Glad Bobbi eventually made it, she is a very cool person. Zoe too.
>Other times he'd find someone like Toni when we had Stardom UK shows. He loved Toni right away.
