Yes, since in those days professional wretling in Japan meant Rikidozan, his sudden death was a big damage.
Everyone related to preofessional wretling relied on Rikidozan; they were completely at a loss.
Moreover, those who suddenly found themselves having to run Japan Pro Wrestling Inc. had no intelligence and managing skill at all. No one knew what to do.
Thus, they needed Baba, who had mastered American style professional wrestling, which was new to Japanese fans.
Baba was in the U.S., wrestling as a superstar. Upon hearing Rikidozan's death, Great Togo, his manager, insitsed that Baba continue to wrestle in the U.S. for as Baba's manager, Togo could make a fortune.But Baba, knowing professional wrestling in Japan is in danger, decided to return to Japan.
I was just joking, but thanks for your reply. Do you think puroresu was in danger after Rikidozan's murder simply because its popularity was built around him? Or did Baba sense that the behind-the-scenes administration of the business would become anarchy without a strong figure running things?

当時小学生だった僕は外人レスラーって強くて怖いのがいるなーって思ってました。
エリック、キニスキー、ブラジルとも今の外人レスラーにはない迫力というかなんというかそんなものを感じさせます。今は日本人対決が多いようですが、怖い外人レスラーを招聘し、日本の有力レスラーと対決の構図を作ればもっとおもしろくなりそうなのですが...............。
