JohnHOST
Makes sense.
VelkejGUEST
Because like the 150 are free and Bushiroad, they did the same thing for New Japan as well.
VelkejGUEST
They only announced tickets that they sold, that they made money out of.
VelkejGUEST
That's like what they do.
John CarrollHOST
Makes sense.

Rob GoodwinHOST
If you were to do that in Sumo Hall, I think that is a big statement for that IWGP Women's Championship.
Rob GoodwinHOST
The IWGP Women's Championship is in an interesting state because obviously New Japan are no longer under BushiRoad, which does call into question, and I know we've got Shingo and Hirooki Goto turning up on Crimson Nightmare, but that's more to do with a personal relationship between-
Matt TurnerHOST
Sure
Rob GoodwinHOST
...
Rob GoodwinHOST
You know, we've had many, many, many shows since then.
Rob GoodwinHOST
Um, obviously Shuri has made it very clear that she's absolutely fine doing US dates and stuff.
Rob GoodwinHOST
So yeah, it, it's just in an interesting phase at the moment, isn't it, with, with New Japan having been sold off from by BushiRoad.
Rob GoodwinHOST
Um, but in answer to your question, I'd, I'd take Micah versus Shuri in a singles match in an absolute heartbeat, especially if the little snippets that we got here are anything to go by.
Karl AndersonGUEST
So there was a new company, right? So when I first was there, a company called Ukes had bought New Japan, and they were the owners.
Karl AndersonGUEST
But then the new one came in with Kidani, and what's the name of the company? Bushiroad.
Karl AndersonGUEST
Bushiroad, yeah.
Karl AndersonGUEST
So...
Karl AndersonGUEST
You know, I don't know how, it doesn't matter.
Karl AndersonGUEST
But then I ended up being big, big, you know, fans of both of them and friendly, you know, friendly as you could possibly be.
Karl AndersonGUEST
And so I think it ended up being a good thing, but it was really confusing and backstage it caused confusion.
Karl AndersonGUEST
It caused absolute chaos because it was Kidani, Bushiroad wanting it so bad.
TaylorHOST
You know, many years ago, we were sort of the first people on the train, or very early on the train, of there are cracks in the Rossi stardom system.
TaylorHOST
You know, they were bought by Bushiroad.
TaylorHOST
the houses jumped up they were selling you know all these great things were happening they were doing all these huge houses oh my god we can't believe they're doing this size house as a joshi company we hadn't seen in many years and you know we pointed out that there were some issues they were running all of these shows so they were just throwing a bunch of matches at the wall And we would say it and people said, no, no, you don't know because actually they've done the biggest numbers they've ever, you know, it was sort of the draw.
TaylorHOST
argument of no the shows are doing great so they're not doing anything wrong and that sort of i feel like by the end you know before rossi got tossed overboard was agreed on that something was going on and then the new Startup began and they fixed a lot of those problems.
Taylor MaimbourgHOST

Don TonyHOST
His first guest, Triple H.
Don TonyHOST
Also in 2019, Bushiroad purchased Stardom.
Don TonyHOST
Bushiroad is the same company that also owns New Japan Pro Wrestling, so this was big news internationally.
Don TonyHOST
And wrapping up 2019...
Don TonyHOST
I'm going to let you hear the audio and how it went down.
SuchPotankoHOST
That was when I was like, oh, I don't even like this game that much.
SuchPotankoHOST
No one's playing this, but I guess I'll get a case of since Bioshock's cases are not that expensive, at least the Japanese ones.
SuchPotankoHOST
And now you're like, if I don't get it, I will
IgnidiusHOST
die.
Josh CraneGUEST
But I hit a friend up of mine over there, and he was like, "Maybe don't do that because your public persona is so New Japan forward." Um, and like, at that point, I don't, I said this the other day about Mochizuki, but I don't care when people follow me.
Josh CraneGUEST
It's never been a big thing, but I had, like, Ibushi and Tanahashi, um, and a couple other big names follow me, and they were like, "You're being watched in a particular way." Um, the president of Bushiroad, he, like, reached out at one point publicly and made a comment.
Josh CraneGUEST
So he was like, "You're being watched in a way where if you show up at one of these other joints, maybe you'll never get the opportunity." And I was like, "Oh, so you think I shouldn't take this offer?" And they were like, "Well, I can't tell you no, but also I can't say that it won't not hurt you." And I was like, "Oh my," that's literally it made my head spin for like four months.
Josh CraneGUEST
I was like, "I think I'm gonna have to just, if I turn it down, do I get in trouble?" Like, it, it was kind of a weird situation to be in, but one of them every now and then I've thought of is, like, one of the OGs for me was All Japan, and like, man, an All Japan run would be, it would be sick as hell.
RajaHOST
So I think she's really, like getting all the reps in in these tag team matches.
RajaHOST
Saaya, though, she's in there terrorizing Bushiroad employees.
RajaHOST
[laughs]
JonHOST
