>NJPW puts out a VERY STELLAR show in Osaka-Jo Hall which sells out for weeks and weeks in advance
>LEGITIMATELY sells out the building with almost 12,000 asses in seats, all of which were paid by the Japanese public, every single seat in the arena had someone sitting in it.
>WWE has to tarp off half the building, count concessions, the guy throwing peanuts and selling hot dogs, use half the arena as a seat to masquerade their hideous turnouts and even count their OWN STAFF, including timekeepers, announcers, wrestlers, referees and backstage interviewers as part of the "sellout"
>Still come NOWHERE CLOSE a sellout, even their own phony ass illegitimate ones while being BY FAR, the largest professional wrestling company not only in the world but of all time
>Average selling 50-55% of the arenas out on a "GOOD DAY" for Raw and Smackdown.
>E-drones have the absolute nerve, the audacity to regurgitate and repeat shitty, unfunny, debunked memes such as "NJPW can't draw dimes" and "(((packed)))".
I literally cannot stop laughing, my stomach hurts when I see images like these holy shit hahaha oh my god. You E-drones. My god. Like lambs walking into a slaughterhouse. It's fucking sad. I pity all of you. Your company is dying at a frantic pace meanwhile, NJPW LITERALLY cannot stop selling out venues if they even tried to. The NJPW product is absolutely white-hot and surging, meanwhile the WWE is plagued like images like these. Thousands of people have made the switch. It's time you make the switch as well, /asp/. Join the winning team and abandon that sinking titanic of a corporation.
WWMeme is fucking doomed. Which wrestlers will the Japanese chads pick from the corpse?
To;dr I am a sad weeb obsessed with a company I hate
Kid, look, I have no horse in this race. I hate all pro wrestling and think WWE is a fucking joke, but you seriously need to get a fucking life.

>conveniently not mentioning the fact that NJPW rents only MEDIUM venues because they can't fill up the big ones
NJPW doesn't draw for shit in Japan, how can they even hope to compete in the US?

As it should. Honestly sports entertainment should have died after the Benoit incident.

>WWE rents out the Alamodome for Royal Rumble 2017, which has a capacity of 72,000 seats.
>Only manages to sell 50,000 seats, despite being entirely confident that they'd sell out the building, wrestlers giving interviews talking about how they'd sell out the Alamodome
>Manage to sell out 71% of the venue, meaning 29% of the extremely large arena was empty
HAHAHA. Want to know WHY NJPW books in medium sized arenas? Because they don't enjoy having 20,000 empty seats in the fucking arena like WWE does. End yourself.
Here's a picture of today's Dominion crowd. Now, compare that, if you will to your modern WWE crowd. No, don't compare this picture to wrestlemania from several years ago, compare TODAY's NJPW with TODAY's WWE and see how they stack up against each other. There's literally no fucking contest, there's no comparison. They aren't even in the same stratosphere.
>>2746421
Looks like a high school gymnasium, very impressive
>>2746421
I've gone to a korakuen hall show, and even though the venue is not that big, there's a presence of the crowd appreciating and enjoying wrestling
The fact anyone cares about attendance, tv ratings etc of a company they don't work for or work against in a rival company is pretty pathetic
>>2746430
It is the size of your typical US arena where the WWE closes off the top of the building because "sports entertainment" is dead.
WWE's rival is the UFC, not NJannettyPW.
Get a clue.

Kek, call me when they sell out larger stadiums. Till then, they're still in the minor leagues.

comparing a major event to a house show is like comparing mania to JUSTminion.

Based NJPW
>>2746370
WWE is dead. NJPW has its loyal fans in Japan so itll survive but is literally nothing worldwide.
>>2746508
The capacity is not 16.000 you WWE retard, look at the crowd, It's fully packed with 11.756, where do you see empty seats for the other 4244 people? lel WWE fans are just too dumb to accept the facts
>>2746508
You want to argue about attendance percentages, okay. Here's a recent attendance figure after the Backlash PPV which saw a BRAND NEW WWE world heavyweight champion crowned, a champion who has never been crowned before. The very Smackdown after backlash drew less than 4,000 people after a historic and monumental event. That's less than 47% of the arena. Imagine that, more than HALF of the arena being empty after such a big event which the WWE thought would generate buzz and headlines and draw a big crowd, only managed to sell 47% of an arena. Tell me again how you feel that WWE isn't fucking dying and bleeding while NJPW isn't absolutely on fire right now and growing at a rapid pace while WWE is diminishing heavily year after year.
>caring so much about fake fighting that you """literally cant stop laughing""" at this

I'll just wait for the day WWE pulls the plug, cause at the rate their attendance and ratings is falling, it will happen one day, and then, I'll just laugh and mock all WWE fanboys
dominion is their summerslam why are you comparing apples to oranges?
>>2746563
WOW WHAT A PROMO
>>2746566
Look at the crowd photo I uploaded you idiot, where is the 26.525% empty?
>>2746568
Because oranges taste better than apples, they might be two different fruits but they are fruits nonetheless and right now, the people are enjoying oranges far more than they're enjoying apples.
>>2746575
KEK HAHAHA.
Randy Orton drawing the big time, guys. Look at that huge attendance! THERE ARE MILLIONS!

Now let's talk about house shows.
WWE:
>>2746574
No, right now normal people are enjoying both oranges and apples.
What you're trying to do is to tell does people that oranges are better apples than apples are apples.
Get a fucking life faggot.
NXT
>>2746566
>wrestling allows max arena capacity
You have to have an entrance, a ramp and floor space for a ring plus the area around the ring. That up to garbage doesn't mean the arena could support a wrestling event with that many people
205 LIVE which looks as bad as TNA.
Roman Reigns going backstage after a match at Smackdown, oh look at all these empty seats! HAH
>>2746610
Lmfaooo, holy shit. Absolutely atrocious. Hideous. Oh my god. This is the BIG, BAD WWE. And look at that fucking attendance. Absolutely sickening. You ARE NOW the bingo halls, E-drones. Embrace it.
>>2746619
Ironic that it is named Backlash. They are feeling quite a Backlash from their fans and tonight's RAW will draw another low rating due to the closeout NBA Finals game.
Another one, so many dimes
The crowd at the RAW where Samoa Joe injured Seth Rollins, it was during Road to WrestleMania if I'm correct, well LMAO, a Road to WM Raw looking like this, and yet blind WWE fankids will still deny WWE is going down
>>2746633
It's called 205 because that is the max capacity that they can draw.

i was at that show
took a while, but i did get crowded
And what's funny is that, E-drones make fun of TNA for low attendances, and while TNA sure sucks and has extremely low attendances, the E isn't any different lol
you do realize raw has been legitimately selling out with 12,000 seats ever since roman returned full time right?
>>2746421
ok...?
New Jannettys on suicide watch. My local indy fed draws more people than NJPW.
Posting this glorious pic about NJPW attendance.
>>2746694
It's long before the show started, troll.
Every WrestleMania has thousands of empty seats but It's not always visible (especially in indoor arenas) but due to the California's sunny weather at WrestleMania 31, we all saw all the empty seats out there. And then WWE claims a 76.000+ sellout, NJPW maybe only got 27k but at least they don't lie about the numbers.
SOLD OUT
>>2746370
Didn't 9x as much people pay to go to WM than Dominion
>>2746633
Isn't that arrow pointing to the production area? They usually block off a whole section for that.
Not just that, look at the other empty seats lol.
>>2746711
>Posting images from the pre-show
How can you be this mad about two fake fighting companies?

Here's how it looked in reality.
Still waiting for you to show a legit crowd pic of NJPW having low attendances.
>>2746737
52,000 (which is probably fake anyway), while Royal Rumble 1997 in the same arena drew 60.000, 8.000 drop, and E-drones still won't admit WWE is failing, HAH!
Last one before I go, need to do other things than argue with WWE autistic trolls.
PS: WWE IS STILL FAILING

Using raw numbers with a company that doctors them, gives out free tickets, and counts employees as attendance.

I'm a huge NJPW fan, but come on. You're comparing NJPW's second or third most important show of the year to a random house show.
>>2746820
The state of this mark. You believe NJPW is legit.
Are we comparing the drawing of a publicly traded multi-billionaire dollar corporation in a 4 million square mile country with a population of 320 million to an independent wrestling promotion on a 150,000 square mile island with a population of 127 million?
>>2747026
Like the E is relevant anymore.
It's funny how people are using NJPW vs WWE as a vehicle to insult people.
Can I not enjoy both?
>>2747126
no. you have to have one or the other. Dem vs. Rep. Coke vs. Pepsi. Burger king vs. mcdonald you literally cannot have both things one is right and one is wrong. whichever one i like or do is right by the way, so if you do the other thing you are wrong and if you like both thing you are cuck faggot

I watched my first njpw event last night and enjoyed it. Just because I enjoyed it doesn't mean I'm going to stop watching wwe programming though. Everyone who thinks you have to have one or the other is an edgelord.
>>2746370
>>LEGITIMATELY sells out the building with almost 12,000 asses in seats, all of which were paid by the Japanese public, every single seat in the arena had someone sitting in it.
To be fair, Japan has a long history of lying about attendances, papering their crowds and even employing the yakuza to force local business owners to 'find' buyers for the tickets they have forced into their hands (Stan Hansen bio). So 12k may not exactly mean 12k.
>>2746381
How does someone who despises wrasslin so much, find the most obscure wrestling board to post on about his utter disdain for it?? kys
>>2746421
Listen, all BS wwmeme and new janetty asp nonsense aside, NJPW's schedule is not comparable to the WWE's schedule...PERIOD! It is that simple and its an argument that is tiresome. We all want WWE to once again reign supreme like it did years ago but the formula Vinnie is using for todays PG and social media era will NEVER let that happen. Its strictly about ad revenue, merch sales, and 24hr news cycle hits on media channels. Unless Vince in his dying years wants to just throw caution to the wind then he will keep the formula the way it is right now and make as much money to put away before he dies.

The facts of the matter is New Japan can draw a small sellout crowd to a few major shows - but that's the extent of it. They don't really draw outside those.

But nice try tho, appreciate the effort.
Say what you want about WWE being shit compared to NJPW, but WWE is NOT owned as a vanity project by a TRADING CARD COMPANY.
NJPW was no longer a wrestling company when Inoki left.
>>2749362
LEL, Inoki ruined his own company with his shitty Inoki-ism. That card company legit made NJPW what it is today.
Stop kissing Inoki's ass, Giant Baba was a better promoter anyway

I want WWE to go down in fucking flames so hopefully nothing, because this whole stubborn dickhole approach of his is working out pretty well for guys like me. It's his companies, and he has every right to crash it into the ground if he really wants it that bad.

>>2746695
Japan's leisure culture is completely different to Western culture. Unless it's a sport that drives people absolutely crazy like Baseball or Inoki/Baba era wrestling, the thought of travelling anywhere for a sporting event is utterly ridiculous. Add in the complete workaholic culture and the fact that NJPW shows are rarely on days everyone is off of work, and the niche of people who can go to NJPW shows is far lower.
New Japan is also on the upswing from nearly fucking dying in the mid-2000s, has quadrupled in business in the past several years, and also makes nearly twice as much money in merch per head at their shows than WWE.
>>2752484
>also makes nearly twice as much money in merch per head at their shows than WWE
probably because most of their merch is shit adults can wear and isn't max cringe
