>Bushiroad CEO Takaaki Kidani’s exclusive interview in the Japanese magazine Weekly Playboy. The interview heavily focused on the business of professional wrestling, specifically his decision to transfer full ownership of New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). He cited wrestler Yota Tsuji's viral "cards of the parent company" remarks as the catalyst for expediting the sale.

>The interview provided an inside look at his perspective and future decisions:

>The Tsuji Incident: In February, wrestler Yota Tsuji publicly criticized the owner during an Osaka match, stating, "We wrestlers aren't cards for a card game from a parent company." Kidani admitted in the interview that this remark severely hurt his pride and led him to lose sleep, serving as the primary trigger for accelerating the corporate handover.

>WWE's Streaming Expansion: Kidani also acknowledged that the current landscape, influenced heavily by WWE's Netflix broadcasting deals, influenced the timing, noting that he realized it would be exceedingly difficult for the current setup of NJPW to directly compete. []

>The "Obsessive Fans" Problem: Kidani further reflected on the Japanese wrestling industry, addressing recent backlash he faced over comments he made regarding Stardom and warning how overly obsessive fans can ultimately shrink and damage the industry.
