>>5711580>It's about new japan having no stars of its own so it had to poach them from elsewhereThey've literally never had this problem relative to the makeup and structure of their roster
>NJPW haven't made a star since Okada and he was never very popularNaito, Hiromu, Desperado, Khan, Jay, Shibata, Tama Tonga is one of their most over babyfaces now, just to name a few and that's just if you want to discount the outsiders they made like Kenny, SANADA, Ibushi, KUSHIDA, Ospreay, Zack, Ishii, etc.
>but just booked to win until people got used to it like Roman Reigns and Takeshita is the same too.If he's on top, the leader of the promotion, the guy who's used to elevate everyone he wrestles with (except Wato lol) and business booms (not like WWE guaranteed TV contracts business, actual live event business and such), that's not "people just getting used to it, that means he's over. That doesn't discount anyone under him, but if he was actually like Takeshita or Roman, business would've been declining for those peak years like DDT has without Ibushi/with Takeshita.
