cornering the market of an entire industry in your country sounds like a good strategy to me. that horse money doesn't stop

Cyberagent has been buying Japanese wrestling companies for a few years now. NJPW is the latest acquisition. Meaning they have the top men’s promotion, the second biggest men’s promotion, the second biggest Joshi promotion and the top comedy promotion. All they need is a deathmatch promotion or to buy AJPW and they’ve got every genre of wrestling

probably planning on merging them or just owning every promotion so even if one doesn't make money they get money from the others

It's not hard to google and read a wikipedia article.
Cyberfight is former DDT, which is why Cyberfight boss was Takagi and now is Akito.
Like >>20550844 said it's a subsidiary, which doesn't mean that NJPW is under Cyberfight umbrella, like DDT/NOAH/TJPW
Being CyberAgent its his own thing.

They sold NJPW without Stardom? Why? Joshi wrestling isn't more profitable than men's wrestling

To be clear here, CA owns around 46% of New Japan now, the same amount TV Asahi now owns, with the rest being owned by a talent agency and some individuals. So NJPW won't be put under the CyberFight umbrella and is kept as a completely different entity.

In Japan they’re still number 1. WWE is still a meme option, AJPW is trying to rebuild for the 50th time and NOAH is keeps shitting the bed whenever it builds momentum. Stardom is their biggest competition, a fucking Joshi promotion

Stardom has shown YoY growth, far lower operating costs than NJPW, higher attendance than almost every non-NJPW promotion in JP & likely brings in more money per fan via merch. No shit it's the one you try to keep.

yes because simps make for very reliable customers. there may not be as many joshi fans but each one is probably spending more than most.

More likely that Bushiroad was looking to offload NJPW then CyberAgent was looking to gobble up promotions. Once NJPW became available, how could they turn it down?

Chances are the immediate strategy is an overhaul-improvement of NJWorld and potentially consolidating with WrestleUniverse.

Wrestling in Japan is in the doldrums and retreating to its corner. It needs to team up, especially when WWE is on Netflix Japan. It's not that WWE is poised to become number 1 in Japan but their presence is constant and looming

As soon as BR has milked every last Yen they can out of Stardom and have sold/run off the better pieces of their roster, they'll happily sell the remains for peanuts.

I dont know why this is mysterious to anyone, its obvious why bushiroad chose to sell right now. its because theyre coming off a pretty big win with that tokyo dome show, and they obviously know that they are NOT going to get another win like that. they wanted to exit on a high note rather than bowing out in shame, and this was probably their last chance to do so. in other words, they decided to quit while they were ahead. instead of capitalizing on the huge momentum from WK, they put all their eggs in the callum newman basket and that was retarded.
