In this episode, we talk about the perception that Japanese fans have towards WWE and AEW. We also discuss the idea of those companies trying to make it big in a Japanese market. After that we look at the issues that arise when wrestlers jump from one company to another, and the topic of "brand loyalty" amongst the Japanese wrestling scene.
