You still get that today, but more often than not, they're failed idols whose agents recommended pro wrestling for their next venture. Admittedy, some of them still do pretty well, as the culture over there leads them to give it their all, unlike the diva search models of WWE, but it still doesn't compare to the AJW era where everyone there had passion for wrestling since they were young.
Oh yeah, now it’s blatant and kind of in ironically the point of so many of their business ventures. But I meant it more as a layered awareness of how to triangulate a bunch of different audiences without being “distasteful” about it.
