Wrestling's popularity in Japan has been falling for a while now, largely due to Inoki's stupidity leading to New Japan's big-time fall from grace due to the shot their credibility took during all the shootfights Inoki did with MMA guys vs wrestlers, All Japan being on life support, and all the smaller groups doing worse attendance figures than ever. Only NOAH is doing well finanically at this point - a far cry from the glory days when wrestling actually was a really big deal.
