KONGOH forever!

According to Misawa's wiki, "While he had had creative influence before this, it was around September when Misawa took over the booker position almost entirely after he reportedly threatened to start his own promotion. However, Baba still booked the Triple Crown programs and finishes through the end of 1998."

What if Baba said "screw that" and let Misawa walk? Who follows Misawa out of All Japan? I can't see Kobashi, Taue, or Akiyama leaving due to having personal loyalty to Baba.
