>b-b-b-but New Japanetty doesn't dr-draw crowds
>b-b-bingo halls! Y-you are the b-bingo halls, no-not us!
Why haven't you made the switch to NJPW yet? Judging by today's crowd size, it seems that the great people of Dayton, Ohio have moved onto far superior promotions, instead choosing to spend their hard earned money and time on the likes of Okada, Omega, Tanahashi, Hiromu, Naito and the Young Bucks. WWE will be plagued by images like these the longer the lackluster and uninspired shows keep on going. Can you imagine how Kevin Owens and AJ Styles feel upon signing with the WWE, under the impression that they finally made it, they're finally in "the big leagues" only to come out, look at the crowd size and realize they never left the Indies?
yeah we know gooks like nakamura are huge anti draws
Reminds me of the 2001 Nitro's.
>>2784200
>it's the NJPWfag posts pictures FROM THE PURPOSELY MADE EMPTY SIDE AGAIN BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE FUCKING CAMERA IS
fucking idiot
>>2784200
Oh look, another bingo hall drone that doesn't know about hard camera side. They can't have anyone on that side because the camera mics would pick up everything on that side. Also, Tokyo > Daytona, Ohio.
>>2784200
>NJPW so desperate for fans it pays them to shill every single day online
Sad! Or maybe weebs are just that shook by WWE's continued existence
>>2784200
You made the right move. I myself made it two years ago and I cannot be happier.
>>2784215
>b-b-but that's j-j-just the camera s-side
>n-n-not because pe-people don't want to show up to the sho-shows anymore
Lmfaoooo, E-drones everybody. Unbelievable damage control.
>>2784220
>empty seats in the front row
>>2784215
This is valid
I appreciate NJPW and WWE but this guy is right, some of these fucks on here will post the hard cam and the ten feet around all sides of it and say "LOOK HOW EMPTY THIS SHIT IS"
Or a picture clearly before they even film WWE Superstars of people just showing up for the show
>>2784215
eh? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XEjT822yMU
entire arena looks full here.
>>2784225
Obviously moved by The Young Lions because they knew the spot was coming. Watch the show and you will see them move audience members off to the side. Nice try though.
>>2784200
I don't understand. If I cared about attendance numbers than there's no way I would watch NJPW. Wasn't dominion held in a literal bingo hall?
>>2784200
Why would I switch to a product I don't enjoy and know very little about, solely because an arena didn't sell out? And why should you give a fuck? It doesn't affect you or your enjoyment of New Japan.
>>2784242
Get educated. Most of their wrestling events are held in arenas made for wrestling, matial arts, and judo. Osaka Jo fits 16,000
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osaka-j%C5%8D_Hall
>>2784242
The absolute fucking state of E-drones. You're as, if not more brainwashed than North Koreans. My god, do you really fucking believe the shit you spew, do you believe the WWE narratives that they are "da b1g leegzzz"? You can't, not for one fucking second. This has to be almost 3 times as much people than tonight's Smackdown TV.
>>2784200
I have a subscription to NJPW. It's great for a few shows. But much of it is filler multi-man tag matches or midget wrestling in front of a 500 fans.
>>2784250
>He cares this much about what people like
Have sex
>weebs literally BEGGING for people to watch their irrelevant shit
LMAO
>>2784257
Not begging. Just showing you how wwe is a dying product and how embarrassing it is admitting to people that you watch wwe. The live attendance at televised events prove this.
>>2784253
>he ignores my points and refuses to counter them because he's an assblasted faggot who knows crowd sizes these pathetic are inexcusable and has absolutely no comebacks besides "lol do something else".
Suck my dick, faggot. Enjoy your failing and rapidly shrinking company. They can't even sell out university arenas, arenas that by definition are "small". Look at the picture in the OP, that's tonight's Smackdown. Here are more details on the university arena where Smackdown was being held. Keep in mind this was a very small arena by WWE standards. There had to be around 5,000 people in there tonight. Dominion sold out every seat in the 12,000 seat arena with standing room tickets on top of that and you guys seriously think NJPW is the "Outlaws" and "Little League". I can't fucking stop laughing, this is priceless. WWE Booking shows in Bingo Halls, Public Parks and your local Walmart store when?
>>2784261
And how does a non-sold out arena affect one's enjoyment of WWE? It doesn't. At all.
>>2784200
This isn't news faggot. The hard cam side is tarped off more often that not, and it's been that way for years
>>2784267
"Enjoyment of WWE"
Holy fucking shit. First off, the show needs to be enjoyable in order to achieve this but taking into account your mental retardation and various other mental deficiencies needed to watch this atrocious product and deem it "enjoyable", Vince could probably piss directly into your mouth and tell you it's lemonade and you'd believe it.
>>2784273
Sure it is, boi. Keep telling yourself that. And they also used to always "tarp off" the tops of the arena because it is aesthetically pleasing.
>>2784248
Will be ignored by OPetty
>>2784261
You post your plea every single day, weeb. Us WWE chads can smell the desperation.
>>2784285
This. It's just annoying now. Best to start ignoring the New Japanetty
>>2784279
You're comparing an annual event to a 205 dark match. Also, enjoyment is subjective. Tell me why you care so much about what people like. Tell me how your life got this pathetic. How it got to the point where you, quite literally, are telling people what they can and cannot like. You're a fucking joke.
>>2784285
>WWE
>Chad
Pick one. No self respecting individual admits to liking WWE to anybody because you will be shunned. You are delusional lol. Quite the imagination you have there, boi.
>>2784249
>>2784250
You're comparing a PPV to a weekly show. That alone should tell you about the difference in scale.
>>2784264
I blew out one of you weebs a few threads back. A bad year for the WWE would be a god send for NJPW. AXS and TV-Ashia have beyond trash rating featuring NJPW. I like shit posting about the WWE as much as the next anon, but you're way over your head if you think their going anywhere
>>2784290
Your anger is real because your promotion is failing. They have literally ran out of good ideas. Honestly, they have not had a good idea in years. Reminds me of 2000-2001 WCW, and you know how that ended. Also, your post is as phoney as your picture guy being a real scientist.
>>2784302
forget you, I liked 2001 WCW. Except Animal being there, but other than that, yeah.
>>2784283
>>2784248
OP here, I originally thought that a post this fucking retarded wasn't worth responding to but I'll bite. Crowd sizes are a great indicator as to how well a business is doing. Historically, the wrestlers would look at the qualities of the ring rats and determine what state the business is in but since the only chicks who watch this are overweight black bitches on Twitter who post unfunny gifs along the lines of "Slay king slay" and "Drag him king" every time Roman Reigns posts a wimpy, whiny little response to trolls on Twitter, I look at other indicators, most notably ratings and crowd sizes. It's no secret that year after year, along with ratings, attendance has been absolutely plummeting. Raw posted some decent ratings last night, good for them but images like these express a general distaste and frustration with the WWE product. No one's watching. No one's going to the shows anymore, the people are disenfranchised with the product. Want to know why? Because the product sucks, they market the letters "WWE" as the draw and not individual superstars and people have left in droves. Compare that to NJPW which is experiencing a rebirth of sorts. Attendance is way, way up, they sell out shows on a much larger basis than WWE does, indicating that the product is "hot" right now while WWE is ice cold. Because the product is actually good and they market the WRESTLERS, not the BRAND as the superstars, something that WWE does not do. I look aside and I see fellow fans of NJPW, happy and enthusiastic about the product, a fandom and general "buzz" that the WWE hasn't had in YEARS. Face it, E-drone. The WWE isn't so hot right now but NJPW has all the momentum in the world. And the difference in crowd sizes is very telling of this fact.
>>2784297
wwe had trouble selling tickets for Money in the Bank. Dominion as posted earlier sold out immediately. You get proven wrong again, get angry, repeat. Too easy.
>>2784232
Caw caw caw caw
(caw caw caw caw)
>>2784310
None of what you said commented on why is should affect enjoyment.
>>2784302
Nothing you said refuted my points. Nor did you answer my questions at the end there.
>>2784248
>>2784283
Oh, and also, great attempt at downsizing it and painting it as the failure to sell out one arena. This has been going on for months and months. The WWE cannot legitimately sell out arenas anymore. Wrestlemania misses a sellout by 25,000 seats, Royal Rumble missed a sellout by 20,000. In the past few months, they've sold out maybe ONCE or TWICE in the past 120 shows. They don't fucking sell out arenas like they used to anymore which tells you just how frustrated Wrestling fans are with the product currently.
>>2784320
No, you just don't like my answer, you fucking idiot. Let me capitalize the points of emphasis, with how handicapped you are, you need all the advantages you can get. The crowds are DOWN because the product's QUALITY is DOWN. NJPW's crowds are UP because the QUALITY is UP. It's not fucking hard to understand, you dimwit.
>>2784328
Why do you care about what people like
>>2784330
Because if you're going to watch Professional Wrestling, you might as well watch a product that's been objectively good. I don't know what your moral compass is like but essentially, you want to reward and encourage good behavior and penalize and scrutinize bad behavior. WWE is doing horribly right now, the writers are stupid, the storylines are stupid, the wrestlers are on cruise control. NJPW is going all out and actually putting forth the effort, which is why I try to lead people in the right direction. I dislike seeing good promotions struggle for a spotlight while seeing shitty promotions act complacently and lazily simply because their fanbase is stubborn and content with accepting scraps and mediocrity.
>>2784346
You're actually trying to justify caring about what people like. The absolute state of you.

Dayton is a small market town plus the Nutter Butter Center is a pretty shitty place. If it was Columbus at the Schottenstein Center or Cleveland at the Q then that place would be packed. Vince is retarded to have his shows in small towns like Dayton. Even worse for an arena like the Nutter Butter Center.

Hey, fucktard. Look at the picture. You can literally see Chad Gable on the Titantron and Kevin Owens in the ring. This was from TONIGHT'S show. This wasn't a dark match or 205 live or a house show, it quite literally says Smackdown Live and it shows an actual bout that took place on tonight's TV recording, with the half empty crowd. Also, I find it funny how you imply that the New Day are not only still on Raw but they were on this week's Raw which was also advertising "Money in the Bank", a Smackdown exclusive event. Holy fucking shit, do you WWE apologist, damage control-spewing E-drones even WATCH your OWN fucking shows? Seriously, not even the fans who claim to watch WWE, actually fucking watch the WWE. My goodness, this has to be the saddest day for E-drones to date.

"I haven't switched because there are no stories"
No, you seem to be a little confused. The point of this thread is to convince WWE fans to switch to NJPW, not to convince NJPW fans to switch to the WWE.

Absolutely no comebacks from the E-drones. All they have left to resort to, what they cling onto are their tried and true, epic little predetermined responses with funny gifs and memes. I see not a semblance of an argument, I see no comebacks or clever retorts, all I see are defeated faces, clinging onto whatever they have left. I was asked a question, I responded swiftly to it, an action E-drones were simply unable to reciprocate. I believe my work here is done. I'll let the lurkers who read these threads decide and come to this foregone conclusion themselves. WWE is losing and NJPW is on fire. And nothing you E-drones say can do about it. Much like I have handed all of you your asses completely by myself, I expect NJPW to make quick work of the pathetic, sad cancer that is the WWE. Good night!
>Cena admitted that WWE is catered towards children

As long as we still have man children amongst us, WWE will still be on life support, but the actual children have wised up. What does that say about the current state of WWE fans?

Yeah I'll stick to the numbers. Also I forgot to mention that WWE PPV tickets are also more expensive than Dominion tickets. So WWE had a much larger gate.
Where do you want to get blown out next? NJPWs abysmal ratings? Lack on sponsors? The fact that they're owned by a trading card company?

Also, as an aside, why did you preface this thread with "Make the switch" when it's less pro-NJPW and more insanely-anti-WWE?
There's no real grounds to pretend NJPW is any good today in it's own right, either. Just like WWE it's a shadow of former glory; the final 2, maybe 3 matches on any big PPV are worth watching. The rest of that card is likely trash, as is the majority of what is produces in the ether between these larger shows. There are about 1-4 matches it puts out monthly worth giving a fuck about.
You're trying to be elitist when both promotions are veritable shit-sundaes. Are you really so starved for entertainment that you're content with a scarce handful of cherries sitting atop that puddle of shit?

Bullshit. NJPW isn't perfect but the match quality is usually anywhere from "good" to "fantastic" to MOTYC on most shows, especially PPV shows like Dominion, WK or the G1, stop applying your retarded WWE logic to everything mate.

Well aren't you fucking special. Implying how random fans other than yourself can only enjoy New Japan because they didn't grow up with "classic puro" is cute, really it is, but taste is subjective mate. I can appreciate Okada vs Omega just as much as Misawa vs Kobashi, right now NJPW are putting on fantastic events more often than not, not because they're the GOAT or anything but because they put their foot down and TRY, cannot say that with WWE anymore which is beyond lazy and recyclable.
