>All Japan had some good years the 90s with great matches

the vast majority of wrestling fans do not care if a match gets six stars

they watch it for stories and characters

So far I've never met any of those fans, neither online neither irl
Are they just invented by anti-smarks who hate Wrestling?

they don't watch anymore

only the hardcore fans left who care about workrate

I disagree with Meltzer. I'm enjoying New Japan, but I don't think it's the best period of wrestling ever. I also disagree with both his 5+ star matches, especially the 60 minutes match, which I wouldn't even give 4 stars myself.

clearly not if WWE is still gettining millions of viewers

>>2956971
why not just watch a normal tv show with good writing then

>>2956970
>they watch it for stories and characters

Explains why the WWE is losing nearly half a million viewers every year

>>2957459
The problem is they fucking do it already, why do you think nobody cares about wrestling anymore?
>>2957509 is not an excuse for people to say everyone cares about the 100 stars matches, it's the product of WWE being worse at entertainment than actual shows

>>2956971
Hello it me, a wrestling fan who does not care if a match gets 6 stars. I watch WWE wrestling and occasionally Lucha Underground if it's on. I do not watch NJPW but I have seen a few of their matches on YouTube. It is a different style but I can't really get into it since they are speaking Japanese and I do not speak Japanese. Have a nice day.

>the vast majority of people don't wathc pornography for the fucking, they watch for the stories and characters
This is how retarded you sound you deluded programmed drone.

>>2956971
They don't exist, it is WWE damage control to shut down criticism of their subpar "entertainment" programming.
If people wanted compelling stories and well written characters, they are NOT going to find it on WWE TV.

>I am a complete braindead babby who needs to be spoonfed and is scared of things I don't understand
Imagine admitting this out loud, on purpose.

A new golden age that no one watches, not even in Japan.

>Has an opinion you don't agree with
>WELL HE'S CLEALRY INSANE OR ON THE TAKE
That's a very rational, reasoned and mature response to a differing opinion you have there champ.

>>2957525
That was the joke bud. I was pointing out WWE is shit at characters (and New Japan isn't)

>>2957545
Awesome, you can read words that were not even there! Great superpower! Konichiwa, obama kawaii moshi moshi desu!

There is a reason NJPW is not a draw

Yeah always knew these people don't exist as wherever you go online, any Facebook Wrestling group or forum, nobody says "Well I don't care about what happens in the ring, I just watch it for that guy's character", the only retards that think like this is like 10 - 15 seething anti-Smarks

I'm confused, is Jinder Mahal not cutting promos on Smackdown because they are in Punjabi?

>>2956970
Do you honestly believe the story and characters aren't factors into these star ratings? Or do they not exist for you if Cole isn't blaring them in your ear every 10 seconds?

Dave is so fucking desperate to spin this shit as good because he can see his business being flushed down the toilet.
>wrestling is...it's umm...it's never been better....it's like...ya know?

>>2957509
WWE has shit stories and shit characters. What's your point? The average fan would take a 3-star match with two stars over a 5-star match with two indy guys.

Question for the NJPW lads. How much of the commentary is in English or at least has a sub option?
