Top NJPW Star Rocky Romero had a conversation with Comedy Store Wrestling on a variety of topics such as how NJPW was in a weird spot because the pandemic hurt the company, but it was still important for them to take care of their talents and that is why nobody got fired or released and now they are just starting to get back on their feet.
Rocky Romero said:
“New Japan is in a weird spot because the pandemic hurt them. They’re a live event business more than anything. The pandemic happened, touring went out the window. It was important for the company to take care of their own, so nobody got fired or released. Everyone was taken care of and survived. Now, they’re just starting to get back on their feet.”
Rocky Romero also talked about how Mercedes Moné was a big investment for the company and how getting her was kind of testing the waters of where they were in the States and worldwide especially when the company takes on a big talent like that as well as how NJPW's door will always be open for any talent in WWE who are unhappy.
Rocky Romero said:
“Mercedes was a big investment, obviously, going forward and testing the waters of where they were in the States and worldwide when you take a big talent on like that. Now, we’re starting to feel comfortable again. Long story is, basically, if because Vince is back and there are people who are unhappy in WWE, there very well could be a possibility of somebody coming over, being fed up with it and just walking away. New Japan’s door will be open if that happens, for sure.”
