>Thus far, business is G-1 is also strong. At press time, every show but one, the 7/25 show in Fukushima, sold out in advance, and that show did end up being sold out. It was almost weird on 7/24 when the word was out the day before the show that there were tickets available. For a comparison with last year, four of the first even nights were legitimate sellouts and overall business based on the same period last year is up nine percent from what was considered a strong tour.
>Another amazing stat is that the Japanese language feed of opening night, which was available free, did 600,000 live views. What that shows is that in Japan, there is great interest, but the mentality of paying for a streaming service isn’t there as New Japan World only had just over 60,000 paying subscribers at that point. The WWE Network, for the same reason, hasn’t done well in the Japanese market.
Based New Japan is surging in popularity while WWE is dying a horrific death.
Truly the best timeline.

Good for them. Some well needed competition in the US wrestling scene is good for everyone

e-drones seething
Meanwhile, WWE:
>Revenue increased 8% to a record $214.6 million as WWE’s Live Event and Network segments achieved their highest quarterly revenue in Company history
Your gook outlel company can't even scratch WWE.
>Sony versus Nintendo
>Windows versus Apple
>DC versus Marvel
>now WWE versus NJPW
I really really fucking hate this place

Yesterday I finally gave in and decided to give NJPW a watch... watched the whole G1 thing, though I was fucking drunk as fuck so I don't remember any of it.
Currently watching Dominion and it's alright to be fair, I'm not not enjoying it if you get me.

No one cares about Japanese show, their economy is shit and they have the most pathetic males in the world

When I was a kid it was
Nintendo vs Sega
Sonic vs Mario
Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat
And now we have Denocrats vs Republicans, or liberals vs conservatives. Real patricians can appreciate the pros and understand the cons of both sides.
Is there a good place to read NJPW news if I don't have a subscription? Not sure if I'm willing to pay for the subscription yet.

>Make $214 million revenue
>Only $1 million profit
WWMEME is ran like shit and will go belly up.
>>2930277
>Record revenue
You'd better wish the tv fees will increase for the new deal (there's a slight chance since it remains top 5 of the night). The flat network subscribers number for the last 3 years won't be able to sustain the cost of maintaining the ever increasing content.

Based NJPW Chads SEETHING the E Drones into a shoot.

>revenue =/= profit
>>2930222
WWE isn't dying but maybe when they finally admit they're losing money, they'll focus more on making the product interesting instead of wasting time on Network shows no one watches and social media initiatives

>njpw so desperate they have to send their wrestlers to work a match in fucking Fukushima (a nuclear fallout site)
