Supposedly its neither and instead due to NJPW's owner Bushiroad.
According to Meltzer, Harold mainly handles their UK and international stuff while Bushiroad has been handling all the US based stuff.
Bushiroad pretty much misjudged the entire North American market. They assumed since Omega, Elite, and Bullet Club were their top merch sellers, US crowds wanted shows leaning more towards non-Japanese and ROH stars than the full NJPW experience. They learned the hard way that only Omega and the Bucks were top stars and crowds don't want watered down NJPW shows.
