>>8500475It was low back then to, dave has certain styles that he enjoys and current njpw heavyweight style is a mix of everything he loved. He loves flippy shit spotfests because he grew up on lucha, he loves kings road influenced and early NOAH main event style, he loves 90s njpw junior style that mixed mexico and japanese styles together and Okada and the current njpw main event style is like some hodgepodge of all that shit
The only time it was truly difficult to get stars was when he was obsessed with the ufc and didn't give a shit about wrestling despite covering it every week anyway.
