But AEWtrannybros, we... we're not poaching

They don't complain when the checks clear though

Aew and wwe can offer money that new japan can't. It's that simple.

Mina and AZM are making AEW appearances with Stardom getting nothing in return so far. And this is with their major show happening this week.

They have retardedly said “it helps Stardom” but the company and its shows aren’t mentioned and every twitter comment is “Tony should sign them”. These people aren’t interested in watching Stardom, they can just ask for Tony to sign the ones they like instead. How have they not figured that out?
>>
>>14423607
What do they think is going to happen when they go to America, get booked on some indie show and make 3x the money that they do back home being told they are "stars"
>>
Death to Bushiroad
Death to Sports Entertainment
Death to AEW
>>
AEW is in the beginning stages of taking 2 of his wrestlers right in his face and Taro Okada seems to not understand this. You got them to sign for the year last time but you are probably out of luck next year
>>
>>14423687
>Stardom getting nothing in return so far
What is there to get in return? Toni Storm? Brandon Rose? Do people really want that?
>>
>>14423687
The build is Toni vs Mina at forbidden door 3. All star grand queendom happens tonight at around 3 am. Most of the time AEW promotes the new japan american shows or if talent is over like Bryan and Omega.
>>
>>14423687
You're right but everyone will try to argue with you.
>>
AEW is doing what they tell everyone WWE will do.
>>
>>14423661
It really isnthat simple. Japan's economy is crap ATM and they're top guys are aging. They need to find and build younger talent.
>>
>>14423607
This faggot is extremely ungrateful. NJPW was on the edge of folding, and it is Tony Khan's money that is keeping them afloat. It isn't even like he is stealing their workers like WWE, Tony allows them to work programs in NJPW and even sends his own guys to help out.

The build so to an American PPV and they can’t be bothered to mention what Mina is doing in Stardom. Exactly. Thank you

Oi, Nujamal. You better watch your fucking words. It is NOT "poaching". Even the interviewer said it was NOT "poaching". NOT our fault that Japanese have no money. NOT our fault that Kidani doesn't know how to run a business. Be glad you are AEW's farm organization. Without AEW, NJPW would be fucking dead by now.

They literally almost never promote anything their talent is actually doing elsewhere. Their "promotion" of Moxley vs Naito was taking Moxley off TV

No, these wrestlers must be happy to even be there. A rice ball and a bow isn't good enough? Ungreatful wrestlers.

Japan finally show a samurai reaction.
Aew is a symbol of dishonor, humiliation and shame around the world.
It's time to cut chains with Tony Khan's money. His dollars are not enough compared to the purity of the Pururetsu legacy
>>

Maybe on Planet Retard.

So it’s a one sided partnership that only benefits AEW?
What’s the point then
>>
>>14424307
Bushiroad gets at least 1 milly in cash from the FD show. That's what they get.

Harold tried to warn them but no one would listen.

they had takeshita in their own backyard and fucked it up due to typical jap autism. he would have been the perfect guy to carry the company right as the current guys age out and/or head to the US, instead they're scrambling to make geeks like shota credible somehow. njpw is its own worst enemy. the absolute irony of takeshita challenging mox for the iwgp title in an american promotion lmao

No, they have in fact become that. There is no "like". They are.

No one knows what Stardom is. The best they can hope for is TK allows Schivane too mention Stardom on TV and some mark Google's it.

>>14423607
Uh oh, you're going to make Tony mad if you say things like that.

Yeah Tony will get him removed from his position next if he keeps saying shit like this

>>14423687
Same thing happened with TJPW. They pulled Itoh and Yuka from shows last minute to work nothing Dynamite appearances and never really offered anything beyond like a fucking Nyla Rose match (eventually) in return.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with this year's FB. NJPW reported didn't want to pay for a bigger venue and CMLL might be involved (potentially meaning profits are split 3 ways). Plus Mox might still be IWGP champ so the actual NJPW guys might not even benefit from the guaranteed champ win (NJPW guys don't win that much at FD)
>>
>>14424388
It does. 1 milly USD is a lot of money in Japan. Tonikan taking away dead weight like Jay White and Okada also frees up a lot of cash.

Also forgot that AEW stole DDT's top guy and has given them nothing in return.

>>14424307
These Japaense companies think that AEW is bigger than it actually is when AEW's audience is a few hundred thousand Redditors that either already watch the promotions or never actually will because they're simply AEW fans.
>>
>>14423607
Haha you signed the contract. Reap what you sow bugs. Tonikan is your savior, your god. You only exist, because Tonikan allows it.
>>
>>14424494
Takeshita is still a DDT guy
>>
NJPW and Stardom poached from other feds too so they are part of the problem as well.

I think it sucks. WWE and AEW do not need Japanese wrestlers. They don't speak the language in a business where talking is 50% of it and they don't usually draw anymore than people who can speak the language do. If you really want Japanese style wrestlers, train them the way Japan does and you will get them.
>>
>>14424346
NJPW tried to poach Endo and Takeshita when they were "partnered" with DDT and doing an angle where Tanahashi was shit talking them and whatnot and got told by them to fuck off. I actually think this is just a chickens coming home to roost situation beacuse Bushiroad did the exact same thing to every other promotion they've partnered with (stealing their top talent and/or booking them to look like shit) and now they're getting it done to a promotion that they can't really do their big dick shit to even though AEW is a tiny fraction of WWE's size and value.
>>
>>14423607
I'm sure they'd stay in Japan if they were paid the same money Khan's offering or more.
>but NJPW doesn't draw that much money
Then they should draw that much money.
>but the talent might have to perform someone else's booking and stop being so overtly protected all the time, and do business
That's not my problem.

>>14423687
At least when Stardom worked with ROH before the TK buyout they'd show an actual match from a Stardom card, like Mayu vs Konami for the ROH women's title, to give you and idea of what a show is like there. Tony can't be arsed to do that on any of his shows. Kidani needs to end the deal.
>>
>>14424518
Theoretically, he only comes back to wrestle for them on occasion and it's basically billed as a special match when he does. For all intents and purposes he's a full time AEW guy making one off appearances in DDT a few times a year.
>>
>ITT: E-drones pretend they ever cared about Japanese wrestling, just to attack AEW
SAD!

>>14424537
Nah you are. He's right. None of the Japs in WWE or AEW have drawn any money. >>14424521

Why do they keep giving Dean belts then?

He has never had a good match in his life

>He

>>14423607
Wouldn't be as bad if the poached talent didn't immediately lose all value. Okada is Virgil to the Bucks. Shibata is working Velocity and using fake Google Translate to cut promos.

It sucks to see once-greats phone it in (literally in Shibata's case) just for a payout.

if you want a look at what's gonna happen to Stardom, just look at NJPW. it'll be some partnership!
>>
>>14424546
You mean like the all Stardom 6-woman match that ROH just had on its last PPV? Like that?
>>
>>14424559
They also do the same thing with the indies kek. They claim Tony has personally destroyed many indie promotions, but yet can't actually name one that has gone under because of him.
>>
>>14424572
AEW is running shitty shows in Japan? I don't think they've ever run a single show there actually
>>
>>14424668
That was a match with Stardom talent on a ROH card. What part of 'an actual match from a Stardom card' do you not understand?

What Mina is doing in stardom holds no weight to what she is doing in aew
>>
>>14424213
The CMLL event was promoted you disingenuous retard.
>>
>>14424454
Yuka would always do excursions here and there. Before she moved to aew full time, her last program was against Athena. Maki essentially takes whatever American bookings she can get. Fucking hell you are a retard who knows nothing.
>>
It's tough for them. Look at how everyone from Stardom reacted to watching Io at Wrestlemania. Look at how Giulia gushes about her appearance at NXT.
Look at how Maki Itoh and others openly talk about wanting to appear for AEW. Shit, I think Mina is all elite by next summer.
The reality is is that Vince leaving and Tony Khan being open minded enough about international talents really changed the game for Japan.
iyo sky co main evented what is the most critically acclaimed modern mania after a 200 day reign the idea of leaving japan is just way less risky now
>>
>>14425207
>almost
And please do let us know all the times they reported Danhausen, Skye Blue, etc, doing non-AEW shows. Show me the last time AEW mentioned Nick Wayne or Billie Starkz being on a GCW show. I'll wait.
>>
>>14425198
of course it doesn't, which is why this whole thing doesn't seem to do anything for Stardom. They are basically handing her over and she has every right to push the AEW stuff more

No dipshit, there were shows that both were specifically advertised for and then last minute had to be pulled because Tony randomly decided he wanted them on AEW that week.
>>
>>14425504
No one has done it worse than AEW which has amplified it 500%

>>14423851
How good does the economy need to be so that a joshi fed can outbid a billionaire's son who doesn't care about making a profit? How would building young talent for Stardom or NJPW help when Tony will just sign them for however much it costs to outbid them? Tony signed fucking Nakazawa for 6 figures, how much do you think he'll pay for someone with actual potential? It'a over for Japanese wrestling.
>>
>>14423687
the Stardom partnership was never gonna work because Stardom is not NJPW with women, it's a failed idol promotion, and japanese Stardom fans don't want to watch some blacked roasty doing shitty puro attempts
