>>5991349I don't care about New Japan's western expansion (Don't watch STRONG). Yeah, it sucks for them that they're gonna lose on money if this fails, but they have survived way, way, way worse in their half century span and they're gonna start to flourish again in their home country when the covid restrictions lift, AEW partnership or no AEW partnership. For example, Ace Austin completely mogged Yuta both in wrestling ability and in being over with the Japs.
So, no, it's good that New Japan's top stars are not gonna job to trannies and the biggest job you're getting is Tanahashi, a guy that, despite still being great in the ring, has slowly been going dad status for the past decade.
New Japan being that protective of their guys is part of why they have been successful in Japan to begin with.
