OKADA SHOOTS ON NJPW MANAGEMENT
>>
This somewhat puts in the perspective him leaving. Tony probably just made him feel more valuable and wanted

There’s a ton of jokes to be made, but I imagine this has to be part of the reason why they lost Kenta Suzuki Naito SANADA maybe evil etc and something needs to change because they’re not just losing people to one company they’re losing people in every direction. They’re losing people to other companies within Japan. They lose people to WWE. They lose people to AEW. God forbid TNA continues their success and also starts outbidding them for people. Something does need to change and if I cut who is right there in the thick of it and was there the entire time is saying that it feels different now they should probably at least in some part listen to that.

Well, NJPW upper management just sold out the Tokyo Dome while Tony Khan can't even sell out an e-sports arena.
>>
>nooo why didn’t upper management give me a hug
>>
>>19670836
They literally had to bring Okada and Takeshita because they are incapable to build their own stars.
>>
If you believe the dirt sheets, this is actually how it went down.
>Be Okada.
>Tell management that you won’t put over the young guys because they need more time.
>(you are in fact planning to leave at the end of your deal).
>Tell management that you will be sticking around and shake their hand (you were never going to stay).
>Leave while refusing to put anyone over.
>Shit on NJPW in interviews post-exit.
>Refuse to work wrestle dynasty
Hurr durr, why is management mad at me?

Is this nigger shoot retarded?

Last I heard NJPW did 1700 average attendance, AEW does like 2-3k
>>19670848
NJPW went downhill when they switched from Gedo and Jado being the guys to some weird 'team'. You can tell Okada enjoyed being out there with Gedo. What was the thinking? 'Good job guys, you built the company up to a new boom period and made us relevant again... You're demoted'

NJPW runs house shows, AEW does not. which would bring that number down. and AEW's PPV are a big draw. if you did AEW vs NJPW biggest 8 shows that month. I feel like at this point NJPW would win.
>>
>>19670818
AEW vs. Bushiroad is a douche vs. turd situation.
>>
>NJPW does house shows

JAPANESE CULTURE experts are fucking hilarious
>>
>>19670818
You can say a lot of negative things about Tony Khan but you can't deny he loves to hug and touch his employees
>>
>>19670856
A large part of the reason NJPW is so shit is because Bushiroad management blatantly cares more about Stardom. It's been a gradual thing since they bought it and with NJPW down during COVID and it's main ebento and even upper midcard guys getting old, they switched focus to Stardom because its roster is younger and full of pretty girls so they feel it's more marketable. Double reinforced by most of the young guys shitting the bed both on their own and due to bad booking. Also probably helps that Stardom's wrestlers are likely cheaper ane unlike with NJPW their biggest competitor (TJPW) is still well below them and can't pay what Stardom does even at Stardom's cheaper rates. So why focus on NJPW when you can get a bigger ROI for cheaper?

Basically Stardom has been good for Bushiroad but a poison pill for NJPW.

Yeah, those big awards are basically paid so them making that award go to her tells you where their priorities are.
>>
>>19670836
It’s gonna be incredibly fun shitting on NJPW fans in 2027 when they don’t have a generational retirement and they go back to normal levels. You didn’t deserve that attendance. Places like WWE who can sell 50k without cheap bullshit deserve it(booking wembly once a year is cheap bullshit). Not the president retiring to artificially bump attendance to make himself look useful at his job.
>>
>>19670818
TK is such a good guy
>>
>>19670885
Bit weird to count the Christmas shows given I think that means you counted that attendance twice I don’t remember how AEW taped it. Should compare a different month to better show how NJPW often beats AEW without repeat attendances.

Absolutely on point. Nooj wanted Nakamura, not the guy they spent 10 years building up as the ace of pro wrestling so he could go be a comedy midcarder abroad and have fun(tm).

>they didn't tell me i had a great match
What a fucking mark dork. It would almost be endearing if he hadn't buried every possible successor before selling out

If
Okada
Ibushi
Naito
Kenta
Minoru Suzuki
Sanada
All say NJPW management is a problem and treats their wrestlers like they don't have value, maybe they're the issue?
Just take your AEW hate glasses off
All the top guys in New Japan are leaving, guys who have been wrestling in New Japan for over a decade. Guys who have main evented multiple Tokyo Domes and been the World Champion. There was a time when this was thought to be an impossibility. Even fucking EVIL is leaving now. There is a deeper root problem here. They've reached a state where they need a Tanahashi retirement tour and Okada to sell out the Tokyo Dome, this should not be happening

Shut the fuck up. Okada refused to "put over" your shitty lil young lions because none of them were ready. None of them. Okada gave his blood, sweat, heart and soul to NJPW! Okada is the sole reason why NJPW had its "Golden Era".

All Okada asked for was a "Hey, Okada-kun! Great job! We love ya!". That was all he fuckin' asked. But noooooo. Your old Japanese dads have too much ego and pride, right? They are just too goddamn stubborn, right? This is what happens. Wrestlers want a boss like Tony Khan. Wrestlers want money and praise that Tony Khan gives them.

Don't cry when Gabe Kidd leaves next month. Now you know why all your precious NJPW wrestler keeping leaving for AEW. Tony is NOT poaching them. He is simply a better boss and a better person than you NJPW dark mafia folks. Wrestlers are human too. They are not your circus monkeys. They are just not.

The reality is that I know I've only posted in this thread a single time. And you know how many times you've posted in this thread.

Just you, knowing that internally that you are a pathetic loser, gives me more than enough satisfaction.
>>
Uh oh. Tsujischizo doing a melty again. I guess he got really mad because someone told him the truth about his shitty NJPW. Oh nononono. Even Okada himself shat on NJPW. No wonder he is having a panic attack. He is literally sweating from his armpits right now.

obviously okada went to aew because of the fucking money, but there is something about what he says about being told 'thank you, we appreciate what you do', does it boil down to wanting being coddled? maybe, but kazu being frank and revealing that no one bothering you backstage after retiring the president to even ask 'hey you good?' seems like a major oversight
>>
He left the company to go play with his friends and then comes back because Tony strong armed NJPW into letting him retire Tanahashi.
Was he expecting a heroes welcome back? He burned every bridge on his way out what the fuck did he expect

the boom period started without John, your company is nothing without Tanahashi. Have fun having 18k in the dome fag boy while mania will have 50k back to back beautiful nights in Riyadh.
>>
>>19672610
Aaron Wolf is the larger piece of the pie chart as to why they drew 50k, more than Tanahashi's retirement. Your cope and tears is hilarious tho keep it going. "You don't 'deserve' to draw 50k" What kinda retard shit is that
