Dave Meltzer on NJPW's G1 2017 tour:

>"Business is way up, it's their best business tour of the year and like we mentioned before, business is way up this year. The gates, business for the last three nights are gonna be way, way up because they raised prices significantly and they've sold more tickets than ever before. Now interestingly, the tickets for the last night are all sold out well in advance and they GREATLY increased ticket prices this year. The other two nights are also well ahead of before. And Friday is also sold out and the last time the Friday show in the final 3 has sold out is so far back that I can't even remember, I mean, it would probably be back 20 years, so you know... They're HOT. And the Friday tickets were raised significantly from last year as well which, at the time, was also considered a very strong business tour. Business is great."

NJPW is absolutely WHITE-HOT right now while WWE is struggling to merely flip a 2% profit this year, struggling to sell out arenas, struggling to put asses in seats, struggling to spike ratings, struggling to gain network subscribers, they're cutting costs, they're cutting pyro, network shows, they're booking smaller arenas, they're releasing talented wrestlers just to stay afloat while business is BOOMING for NJPW.

BEST TIMELINE.

Kenny Omega must now beat Okada in 30min or less to advance to the finals. Okada only needs to tie to advance.

Is he going to do the inconceivable 2 years in a row?

We're either getting:

Omega vs. Tanahashi
Omega vs. Naito
Okada vs. Tanahashi
Okada vs. Naito

For the final battle to determine G1 Climax 27 winner.

>Listening to 'Something to wrestle' with Bruce Prichard.
>Viewer poll picks Paul Heymann as the topic
>Episode starts with how there's a lot of conspiracies around Heymann
>Most of them appear to be true
>He constantly tries to subvert the WWE
>He tries to indoctrinate new employees into being his personal assistance
>He demands a creative meeting stops so the new guy can suggest "What if we put two naked women in the ring?" as his entire idea
>He tries to pick fights with people and threatens to beat them up
>He scams the ECW wrestlers out of being paid while moving to the WWF for a new job as ECW is about to (but hasn't) shut down.
>He was told to stay away from creative after having a fight with another staff member so he calls into the conference call to listen in from his parents house
>Writes letters to the media under pen names to push his agenda on at least 3 known occasions.
>Has shady dealings with criminal organizations.
>Tells people "Fantastic" stories then happens to drive them to the exact location that story is happening

Man, there's something strange about this (((man))), it's almost as if he fits every single stereotype of the Jew. I wonder what his ethnic group is... Oh wait he's a Jew!

Has he gotten fat?
I remember watching almost every RAW from the Royal Rumble right up till WM31 and the vision of Roman in my head was a lot leaner. Now I kind of barely watch it short of the Big 4, but I decided to watch the Last Man Standing match last night, and I can't help but noticed dude has gotten a lot thicker in his midsection.

You are Bushiroad owner and NJPW Chairman Takaaki Kidani. The WWE has once again poached your talent, taking Prince Devitt, Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura. Your talent roster suffers an enormous blow, an air of uncertainty encapsulates your locker room, knowing that as soon as you pick up steam, WWE will be there to stomp all over it. You partner up with Ring of Honor in a relationship that'll help both your company and theirs, WWE's unwillingness to do business with other companies will ultimately lead to their downfall. You also cooperate with PWG, TNA and CMLL. You want revenge. Your goal is simple: KILL THE WWE. You have access to Sinclair's billions of dollars, their entire support and their network outreach, including Fox, CW, ABC, NBC, CBS, Telemundo, Univision and Azteca America. You are tasked with selling out a 50,000 seat arena in Los Angeles, California as well as running a weekly episodic TV show in the United States. Who do you put on your booking staff alongside Gedo who has done an excellent job of saving NJPW? Paul Heyman? Which unsigned wrestlers are you looking at and which WWE talent do you feel you can realistically sign? Do you merge with ROH and if so, what do you brand the new company as? You obviously have all the resources so how do you defeat the WWE?

Also I know this picture is shit. 67 hours in MS Paint.
