19 is better

>>2145762
Rock/Austin and TLC from WM 17 are better than WM 19 by themselves

>>2145763
Rock/Austin had a match at 19 too except it didn't have the heel turn that killed the business at the end

There's only one issue. The Japanese have been known to be extremely xenophobic and show hesitance to push Gaijins as the most marketable superstar on the roster. NJPW also has ties to the Yakuza which could have an effect on the way they book their wrestlers. But there is no doubt that as of right now, Kenny Omega has the talent to make some incredible strides for New Japan.

That is, assuming he doesn't take what'll surely be a ridiculous offer from WWE. What happens next? Who the hell knows but one thing's for certain. It's a great time to be a wrestling fan, disenfranchised WWE fans may now have a very viable alternative to watch from now on. So what do you faggots think? Will they put the belt on Omega or will he end up hopping over to WWE? Will NJPW stand up to WWE or will they fall like all the others?

tl;dr New Japan and WWE will certainly look to outdo each other this year and competition has always been healthy for the business.

WWE has been pissing on fans heads and telling us it's raining for a long time, hopefully this kicks them in the ass to improve the fucking product. there's no reason RAM, your flagship show should be this fucking unwatchable.

They've gotten incredibly complacent because there's no one around to stand up to them. If NJPW is going global, they need to put the title on Omega. Competition has always been healthy for businesses and markets and hopefully NJPW can use its ties to other wrestling organizations like ROH and PWG to form some sort of unionized wrestling promotion to give WWE a much-need slap in the fucking face.

Wow he took off his shirt and grew hair by using that line!

Austin was a great in-ring guy even after his neck injury.

>forgetting that the lowest-drawing WWE World Champion of all-time was Diesel

>>2145563
Yeah but Austins character and mic work is what got him over, the ringmaster drew 0 dimes

Doesn't everyone know this? Austin/Hogan/Cena/Rock all got over on their charisma and mic work, actual wrestling wasn't a priority

Austin was a great worker before Owen broke his neck, but he hit his peak after

Hogan was a decent worker who stepped up the actual wrestling in Japan, but he drew the most money in the States with about four moves

Cena didn't start having consistent good matches until 2014

Rock was a great seller but his wrestling was subpar

I don't know about you all, but there's no main event I'd rather see than the 50 year old part timer doing the same moves since 1998.

Literally Ric Flair with a finna wig

No condom my dude.

>Finna
Eh?

> Roman Reigns will obviously be in one of the major matches on the show. This also leaves open spots for Cena, A.J. Styles, Finn Balor (who is expected to be back in action around March unless that date is a Rumble swerve, which it probably isn’t) and Dean Ambrose. Ambrose and Miz is just starting as a program and timing wise I could see them building to a blow-off. But there is a tradition of the multiple person ladder match over the IC title as well, although I could also see them doing the first major show women’s ladder match instead. If Jericho is to retain the U.S. title, that would seem earmarked for the Owens match, if that is the direction they continue.

> There will be six or seven major main event level singles matches on the show, not including cruiserweights or women. The women’s match is not finalized, but Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Bayley vs. Nia Jax is the current proposed main woman’s match.

> Wrestle Kingdom ended up a major success for NJPW. They picked up more than 10,000 new subscribers to New Japan World in a 24 hour period on 1/3 and 1/4, prior to the start of the Tokyo Dome show, bringing the total to about 60,000, an amazing one-day increase of a two-year-old business by 20 percent in 24 hours. Even more, 5,500 of those new subscribers came from the U.S. The total number of subscribers outside of Japan was about 8,500 to 9,000 on 1/3, but that’s the rest of the world, not just the U.S. Obviously that pales compared to WWE numbers, being only about four percent of those numbers which gives you an indication of just how competitive the two companies really aren’t as businesses even if New Japan puts on significantly better major shows. And in reality, when New Japan World was launched in 2015, the goal was 100,000 subscribers by January 4, 2016, so it has been a major disappointment.

> An interesting note regards web traffic for New Japan World. From September through November, according to a Brandon Howard article on Fightful.com, 64 percent came from Japan, 21 percent from the U.S., 3 percent from Australia and 2 percent from the U.K. However, over the period from 12/8 to 1/5, the lead into the Dome show, the percentages changed from 42 percent from Japan, 35 percent U.S., 5 percent U.K., 4 percent Australia and 2 percent Canada.
