AJPW was great. When I heard of the NOAH exodus back in 2000, I was shocked.
Giant Baba was a great wrestler and a great promoter, and very unselfish, as he would step back and move down the card, and give guys like Jumbo Tsuruta and Mitsuharu Misawa the chance to shine as big stars.
The only drawback Baba had was giving Johnny Ace a job as a booker and not knowing that his wife was having an affair with Ace.
