what was the perception like when bushiroad purchased njpw in (iirc) 2012? was it seen as an interesting change of direction and structure, possibly for the better? or was it perceived more like “oh god this is gonna be jim herd era wcw all over again, led by idiot corporate people who dont understand wrestling” or ig the modern equivalent being the wwe/ufc merger as far as widespread fandom disapproval and nervous fears are concerned. whats the context of time period after inoki got booted and before bushiroad?
