Callum Newman on AEW as a company and their wrestlers invading NJPW: “I had no problem representing NJPW in AEW. I wore the title out there, and I was the first person ever to wear that IWGP Heavyweight Championship on AEW television. But Tsuji wants to boycott them, fine. I’m not salty about AEW. I just feel angry because when their wrestlers want to make a name for themselves in Japan, they feel NJPW is an easy in for them just because they have AEW on their resume. New Japan is not that easy. For all the people who do all the squats in that Dojo every day to get here, an AEW wrestler who can hop, skip and jump their way into a main event rubs me the wrong way. Because most of those guys as well, they only come in to do one show. They never do a full tour, never know how hard touring actually is. They fly in the day before, do a match and fly back home. That’s it. I don’t think they get the schedule.” (interview with NJPW)
