NJPW Star Aaron Henare recently spoke with PWMania.com on a variety of topics such as how he has been under contract with the company since 2016 and how he's glad that NJPW is different from companies in the west in the sense that they didn't fire any wrestlers during the COVID-19 pandemic despite taking massive financial losses.
Aaron Henare said:
“I’ve been fully contracted since 2016 and September since my debut. So I’m pretty glad that the company’s it’s a bit different to how you do it in the West. If companies are taking a loss, or for example, COVID. They don’t fire people in Japan. It’s like very rare that they fire people because to them is a corporate responsibility for them to take care of everybody that works for them.”
Aaron Henare also spoke about how wrestlers in NJPW are protected through the dojo system and that is another reason why they don't fire their wrestlers despite taking huge losses.
Aaron Henare said:
“So you’ve probably seen that nobody in Japan, no wrestlers have lost their job because of the pandemic despite company losses. And I’m pretty grateful for that. But it’s also coming through the system. I was protected in that way because they came through the Dojo. I did the young boy stuff. I do do all the hard yards. I’m protected in that regard. But right now I got three more years on my contract, which is pretty good.”
