>>5638446>He is never getting hired there again because you don't reveal company secrets like that, why would anyone trust you ever again? NJPW also dominates the market there, hiring him would mean pissing off New Japan.We're in a different time and place. Companies refusing to work with a guy who exposed Yakuza involvement in a company run the risk of appearing as though they also are connected to the Yakuza and fear being exposed as well.
The guys who have reacted to this story are the likes of Yukio Sakaguchi, who is a Yakuza LARPer. The Yakuza are not this romanticised, powerful mafia like in your videogames. It has been a long time since there were significantly influential gangs in Japan, outside of Kansai.
There are ways this can go, most likely a scapegoat in NJPW will fall on his sword and be explained as someone who was accepted Yakuza money to book certain wins so they could gamble and that ends the story officially. Ibushi could go full madman and actually document and expose the open secret of Yakuza involvement in wrestling and it could lead to the bigger companies having to drop guys like Nosawa and Eita, who are blatantly involved with them.
