The backstory is in that article. Here's the latest:
Mutoh's in the position he is in because he lost so much money as a promoter and his matchmaking was lousy. So, now he's at the mercy of a money mark (Shiraishi) who wants to be flashy and do things like bring in The Rock and also have an MMA crossover. Shiraishi is a New Japan fan.
Mutoh wants to buy back All Japan from Shiraishi but doesn't think he can do it. Masa Fuchi is publicly imploring Shiraishi to sell the company back and leave the situation as a babyface.
Shiraishi has a lot of cash. He owns a racing team and wants to buy a soccer team in the J-League. However, Shiraishi's business partners at Speed Partners were against him buying into pro-wrestling.
Mutoh is comparing his split from Shiraishi to the split Misawa had with Motoko Baba. Both situations with All Japan as the cause of turmoil.
