All around the internet, it seems that people are quitting the WWE in droves. Attendance, has been plummeting, most WWE Raw and Smackdown TV tapings taking place in half-empty arenas, ratings, although they've been up these past few weeks, have been plummeting year-to-year. With a record revenue of 214 million for the year of 2017, they've only managed to flip a 5,000,000 dollar profit as of August and both Wrestlemania and the Royal Rumble are behind us. They'll surely get slaughtered once Football returns and be lowballed even further by the USA network (which the WWE felt lowballed them the last time they had a TV rights contract deal, BEFORE the record low ratings of 2016 and early 2017) in 2019. The general consensus on here, 420chan, reddit, Facebook, Twitter, EVERYWHERE Professional Wrestling is discussed online is that the company is in atrocious shape right now and the only fanbase it has left are cultists who follow blindly, who have also started to tune out. The company has found itself under immense scrutiny from the criticism of Roman Reigns to ripping apart Bring it to the Table, the celebration of the company being in rough shape, Alvarez and Meltzer now having tremendous influence, also having their most profitable years in a long time.

But here comes NJPW offering an alternative.

While WWE is having one of its worst years ever, NJPW is white-hot and rapidly growing, up 20% from last year which was 30% up from the year before that, which was up from the year before that and so on and so forth. They're booking larger arenas, they're stepping into different continents, they're putting on unbelievable matches. This is a company with confidence, ambition and a passion to grow. This is a dangerous company with all the momentum in the world to expand, the ability to sell out their first shows in the United States in MINUTES, something the WWE, with all the millions in the world still struggle to do. Wrestling fans, they've heard about the 6 star matches, the Bullet Club (As held evident by their T-shirts selling out more times than anyone could've ever predicted), the antics of Naito, the young stud Okada, Kenny Omega, Being the Elite, the G1, Dominion, as Meltzer himself said "The product is just hot right now". Soon enough, they'll get a TV deal here in the United States. Soon enough, they'll be back to sell out an arena of 15,000. Soon enough, they'll perform in front of passionate, rabid and white-hot fans who have chips on their shoulders and voices to be heard. Soon, we'll have Daniel Bryan and CM Punk to help out with the U.S expansion. We'll have Batista and John Cena who are fed up with the corporate, political bullshit in the WWE. And there will not be a damn thing to stop us.

Welcome to the revolution, /asp/. I hope you choose to pledge your allegiance to the right side in this war.

Seriously, how did they think that line was a good idea? They literally called their fans "losers".

>>2960354
>Daniel Bryan and CM Punk
WWE are royally fucked when this happens. For Daniel, it's really just a matter of time. Once his WWE contract is up, he's going to NJPW.
Punk might take longer, but it will for sure happen.

No one gives a shit about this outside of Japan and a subset of the already niche smark audience.

Face it lads, wrestling as a whole is irrelevant.

>Hot topic
Stopped mattering after that.

>>2960994
In what possible way is it MySpace: The Store? It's way more relevant than MySpace. Maybe Spencer's is MySpace.

Serious question, why are tee shirt sales of an opposite brand being used to promote the idea that wwe is failing? People were already buying the shirts off the internet and that has no real effect on whether or not people are giving wwe money or not
