I actually think that's part of it too. You can drive to Mexico! That's not special enough! You need to fly 18 hours to Tokyo. Travel, and air travel in general, is so glamorized in the last ten years. You must be a big deal if you got on a plane to go make a shot!Neckbeards are xenophiles, Roll. 1/3 of America used to be Mexico. Shit's not "exotic" enough for them.
It has. I used to at least casually keep up with what was going on over there, mostly through the PWD but I still had a general idea. I could not care less now. Just nothing interesting going on over there!My mark ass opinion: I feel like right now Mexican wrestling is more popular than Japanese wrestling. Japanese wrestling has fell off and it's been like that for some years now. In the mid 2010s NJPW was on fire. Now not so much. Even now on the AEW and WWE rosters there are more male Mexican wrestlers than Japanese( thats also probably a geographically issue too. The luchadoras are even getting hot now. A lot of them are just as good as the joshis and know how to be entertaining.
Also it would probably help if Mexico did some fetishizing of young girls and tentacle porn. cUlTuReDI actually think that's part of it too. You can drive to Mexico! That's not special enough!

It's sad. A lot of used to watch wrestle kingdom late as fuck and it was really fun. The past 4 or 5 years that thread has been dead every year. I hope they get it together again.
