>>7175831Kazu legitimately sees the Bucks as sempais, he probably wants to throttle Punk right now.
They looked after him on excursion and protected him from Russo. Gedo hired them on the spot as soon as Okada got home.
I remember one of the Bucks kids got sick and missed WK while visiting and Okada spent the entire day hanging out with him.
If he saw Nick get cracked with that chair I could see him snap and put Ace in the hospital.
