[@darkflame173]

Being the Elite felt like we were watching friends having fun. It felt like we were let into a part of your lives. We got to see the highs, the lows, we followed you from the earlier days, to the success of the Bullet Club days, the depressing last days of NJPW, to the germination of All Elite Wrestling. I feel like it's weird to say, but it makes the viewer feel like they're watching people they consider friends. I think that is what really makes BTE click for us, the fans. We're invested in everyone in it, because we feel like we are collectively a part of it all. I hate that everything went down with NJPW the way that it did. The Elite is what introduced me to NJPW, and now I'm a big fan of that as well as AEW. It makes me wonder if they would treat AJ the same way that they treat Kenny, Matt, and Nick. I hope you guys consider a "sequel" to this particular WOTRORS! (Also get Nak to say something! I bet he has some great stories!!) As for myself, I have tickets to see you in Jax on 1/1! Right next to the wrestlers' entrance no less! So I will see you then, and I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday! Thank you for all that you do!

[@darkflame173]

I know Naka is fluent in English, I'm assuming he's completely fluent. Well, I hope we get more moments with him soon, he's been around for so long he has to have lots of stories to tell! RE: NJPW - I've been enjoying it, but I have been watching for a bit over a year now, so I am a "new" fan. So I don't have a lot of comparison. I do try to go and watch some of the older shows when I can, and they are amazing!

[@Ryan-bi5mz]

Now that everyone is back on the road, I'm really hoping this series makes a comeback.

Respect to all of them all great talent and seem like really kool people outside of the ring. Kenny and the Young bucks and Mike are all legends. I think Mike was just happy being there chilling he's Kenny's best friend so he got to experience a lot with Kenny up until this moment. Much respect Kenny and Riho tagging agian but this time in AEW that would be kool.

I kind of feel bad for Nakazawa here, he doesn't get a word in edge wise. Just chilling there listening to them talk about old times and their friendship and doesn't get mentioned or get to talk at all. Next time let the man speak. But other than that this was really cool, and it was insightful getting to hear about the end of the run in NJPW, would have liked to hear about the end of the run in ROH as well, and maybe a bit more on how AEW came to be and when exactly you knew it was happening for sure.

[@HahahaTryAgain]

Aww i wonder if it's kayfabe at this point

[@FreddieFoxxx100]

He's a gentleman and a professional. I think Nak figured this wasn't a show about him, that someday he will do an episode, so figured he'd just be there and get to hear the stories.

Damn. I feel bad that the NJPW relationship ended with not the best feelings... Unpopular opinion, but I feel like there weren't any bad guys in the situation, just... business decisions. And it sucks, because New Japan couldn't, as a company, throw themselves behind another company just like that. And they had to phase Kenny and the Bucks out simply because they were leaving. I'm sure there were some personal feeling also, but...it's just business. And that part does suck. I hope the guys can get some genuine closure later on down the road.

[@tomtalker2000]

There's something heartbreaking about the fact that Kenny was getting paid more through merch sales than he was by NJPW.

[@peterdavies4166]

at the beginning

[@darkflame173]

True, but he mentioned one of the Okada matches, and that was only a couple of years ago, right? If he was getting paid well, it had to be more near the end of his time in NJPW.

[@darkflame173]

@LeCoolFace It does have its advantages. Might be why some of them choose not to sign exclusive contracts, as well.

[@dcaslick]

Darkflame173 he probably didn’t get good money from New Japan until after the first Okada match. Most wrestlers(and certainly foreign ones) only sign year to year with New Japan and Kenny’s contracts have very publicly come up at the end of January the past couple of years. Assuming I’m right he would’ve only got big money from his contracts his last 2 years with NJPW.
