>>9460906I mean how many wrestlers need to say "working with Stardom is counterproductive" before it sinks in that they never should have bought a joshi company in the first place?
O-Khan buried the fuck out of Stardom in backstage promos, Jeff Cobb did similarly, Kevin Kelly called them a joke, ELP said the only good thing about them is that they got the incels out of NJPW seats so normal women can take their place.
The only, only people who think buying Stardom was a good thing was Takaaki Kidani who has rose tinted glasses over being a wrestling mark who loves WWE too much, and Rocky Romero who wanted women on his US shows for diversity (which newsflash, indirectly killed NJPW Strong). 90% of Japanese NJPW fans OBJECTED to Stardom being around.
All Stardom did was kill NJPW's profits for 3 years and stagnate NJPW because their chairman was too busy trying to force Stardom into being a thing it had no business being.
