I typed a whole big thing about this and then kbin ate it on me.
TLDR:
i don't get why they'd be melting down since this is literally better for the talent and relations between not just njpw and aew but also cmll and aew
The Reddit portion of the IWC (especially the NJPW fans) view every person who leaves NJPW as Tony's fault. Like when Jay's contract was up and was 50-50 between AEW and WWE and to this day they still blame AEW for "stealing" him (and anyone else you can name). He coulda shown up on Raw and they'd still whine about Tony lmao. fucking embarrassing at this point.
that's so silly especially since aew and njpw work together but that's the internet forums for you :(
Yup!
Also just updated: "Just so people know, he's still working for New Japan," Meltzer clarified on Wrestling Observer Radio."
Read it, laughed my sack off lmao
As much as I love NJPW, that sub is just too embarrassing to browse half the time.
Claiming TK stole everyone just because unlike Bushiroad he's actually willing to open up his chequebook during contract negotiations.
