>>8614008Reading that, it seems like Meltzer was (in his usual SIRS grasp of English way) misinterpreting what was being said, that NOSAWA came in and was having some influence on booking decisions, into "NOSAWA is booking Dragon Gate" like a retard. Given that he was NOAH's booker, he obviously would be involved in booking for the interpromotional stuff and because he's an experienced booker (albeit a shitty one) I don't at all doubt that maybe guys asked for his opinion on things which other DG guys took offense to because he's an outsider.
Could be a hoax email. Could be someone with some knowledge of the situation stretching the truth/pretending to be Ishida. Could also have actually been Ishida (Japanese entertainment companies having control of their talents' social media accounts is pretty normal after all). Either way I can laugh at Dave for being taken in by a fake or I can laugh at DGfags for chimping out and starting a half-a-year long and going crusade against Dave for exposing that all is not rosy in the obasan den.
Also, it's not like employees associated with a promotion would ever outright and publicly lie about stuff. Remember Sonny claiming that Natsumi Maki would never show up in Stardom again because the lockerroom hated her?
