Easily.

i cant believe aces and eights was that long ago.

>>2655920
Not easily. They need a real ad campaign.

The entry level mark knows wwe, they have no idea what the fuck a new japan even is. It will cost them a huge campaign across multiple avenues. Though, that may pay off for the next one, and the next one after that.

>>2655918

I thought it was all already sold out? So that really just means how big of a venue they are doing.

>Expects Who Japan to out draw that with a card packed with literal who's.

Not for this show, the venue's too small. For a future show. This one likely won't have Okada vs. Omega either.

No. Wrestling isnt gaining new fans.

No. Wrestling is the least relevant and popular since the mid 90s. Only reason why it has pseudo relevance is due to the internet boom and people being able to watch two fags in a gym across the world somewhere. TNA was bigger than ROH ever was in the US, despite what anyone tries to say and even they've fallen off hard. Straight wrestling, which is basically all NJPW does, will not sell in the US. No mainstream audience wants to watch fake fights with no interesting story here. It'll have its niche crowd, sure, but I still predict it to be a flop.

>2016 avg attendance only 2000 people

That's really bad. New Japan has no competition either, the other companies lost their television deals.

WWE's was only like 6,500 and they run 15-20k arenas at least twice a week.

>>2656044
NJPW's attendance figures were fake news (sad!) up until mid-2015, so those numbers aren't a very good comparison.

Though you are correct that their average attendance is in the mid-2000s, and their median is 1500-ish.

>>2655928
No "entry-level mark" is going to a New Japan show.

That's what he was saying, his point is that any mark going to wwe event could be a potential NJPW """"""""""fan"""""""""""...with the right marketing, and ad campaign.

>You think NJPW can match that in the US? Okada vs. Omega?

Very easily. Just book it in a major city like NYC or Chicago in MSG or the Allstate arena and you are sure to sell more than 6,000 tickets.

>>2656044
2,000 is not actually that bad at all in the scope of all wrestling history. You'd just seeing things through WWE-tinted glasses.

>>2655918
they sold out 6,000 tickets for one weekend in 2 hours. It is completely possible.

Although this may have been TNA's biggest crowd, I believe their best show was the February 24, 2011 edition of Impact from the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, NC. This show featured the return of Sting to great hype and him winning the TNA WHC from Jeff Hardy in the main event.

The attendance was 3,500 but it felt like a big crowd. Mike Tenay's commentary really sold it to with "they stand as one" It was one of the few times when TNA felt "big time". They managed to capture that Nitro feel.
