For anyone clutching their pearls over this. You’re making an absolute tit of yourself. You don’t know his wife and you’re not entitled to speak on her behalf!

@Wrestling_Chat Now you’re being stupid 😂
People would’ve got refunds. Because that would’ve disrespected the Ace.
Instead AEW showed all the respect and allowed Okada to go and when he was announced those remaining tickets sold quackier then hot shit off a tin shovel.
Disagree….
Kenny Omega who was top 4 during the greatest time period in NJPW times comes back from nearly dying (as an AEW contracted talent).
His first match back is against Gabe Kidd.
They legitimately have the craziest match that year. Did they capitalise on the performance of Gabe ??
Answer NO.
You look at Goto who has been a solider has only reach that popularity after god knows how many years.
Callum has completely grown into the role and now he is hurt.
You got some diamonds in the rough like Yuya & Oiwa.
Shota is just finding his feet after so many flops.
Drilla puts in so much work and still isn’t being given the ball
I’m not saying AEW relationship is perfect, there is more we could do as a partner…
But come off the idea of we don’t send our top guys.
We legitimately have given you the top 1% in the wrestling world in Kenny, Okada, Takeshita, Andrade & myself.
And I’m speaking for myself mainly, but for sure the other feel the same.
I love coming to NJPW because it was my home for 8years. I’ve legit owe my life to the lion mark
My point remains throughout this battle with opinion of those that have no idea what it is to be a New Japan Wrestler,
Tsuji should represent the company as champion in any event that has New Japans presence.
Whether it’s a multi man, open challenge or whatever the fuck it is.
There is a level of pride you should have especially holding that championship.
Though I must say, the focus Ospreay has placed on #NJPW’s perceived inability to create stars is interesting.
I would argue that NJPW hasn’t lost its ability but instead hasn’t been able to adapt to changing timelines. It’s nuanced but it’s the actual point of contention imo.
@GENOCIDEVERR I’m not claiming they boosted numbers
I’m stating the highest number featured an AEW talent.
Was New Japans most prominent feud, outside Nakamura.
And Tana for his last match against either one of those lads rather than any active NJPW wrestler.
AEW said yes
Fed said no
So if it was tanahashi vs Tsuji you’d think it sell out??
Or any of those lads.
Or is the match Vs Okada the sell.
Not trying to put them down but imagine TK doesn’t allow Okada to reignite that historic feud.
Especially with Fed not allowing Nakamura to even show his face.
I’m not trying to kid anyone, just stating facts.
56,000 tickets sold Tanahashi (NJPW) Vs Okada (AEW)
Never send any of their talent???
The highest attended WK, had an AEW contracted wrestler.
The semi of that same show had another AEW talent.
Do you think they would’ve sold that many tickets without the generosity of Tony Khan??
Kenny went back…
Andrade…
Myself…
Could they send more absolutely but in that same sense why can’t they make their own stars anymore.
I did it and I did it in the worst possible situation New Japan has ever found themselves in.
You can’t blame the company that gave NJPW a platform to remind people how talented the roster is. Especially during the covid years when NO ONE wanted to watch NJPW unless me or the UE boys were involved.
If they want to be treated equally level the fuck up and actually call out the guys you wanna be on that same level
