New Japanese died from a growth perspective when Kenny left. Not sure we'll ever see a surge like that from them again.

They will always have a cap on how far they can get into the Western world because it is a niche product.

AEW gives THAT audience what they want to the point where NJPW can be forgotten.

So you might be right, we may have seen their peak over HERE.

Excellent points. I had been wondering about this, but yeah, I'm sure that most folks in the US were probably watching NJPW for the Bullet Club dudes. Now that they've gone, those folks can easily watch the guys they want to see on their TVs instead of having to be up at 3am and watch on a stream.

Yeah that's what I meant. Obviously folks still going to watch over there.

I'd venture to bet they lost a lot of the Western viewers that came on during Kenny's run, and especially when Jericho was over there.
