>>7160163Forbidden Door made bank. They showed that casual fans give a shit about guys like Ishii, Suzuki and Goto, even after smarks insisted that no one in the states would care. They're pushing the Omega/Ospreay fued NJPW wants anyway. Also, they sent Yuta to BOSJ, which I much prefer. No hate to Garcia, I just think Yuta fits into NJPW well and it's sad he took AEWs offer over NJPWs, but it's understandable.
In the end, I give AEW a C- as a partner. ROH was probably a B, maybe a B+. CMLL used to be an A, but since they've let their AAA feud sour business, that's debatable. Impact was an F back in the old days, but on their second try, they are a solid C. There are other promotions too, like Rev Pro, but I'm gonna stop there. AEW and ROH are gone. Only Impact and CMLL are left as North American Partners.
