Remember the time WWE legitimately sold out one of their shows without counting concessions and the guy throwing hot dogs and selling peanuts as well as the wrestlers, the cameramen, the referees and even their own staff, factoring them into the overall attendance?

I don't.

In a city with 6 times the population of the city the RR was held in and a larger population than any american city too... how embarrassing...

Remember when 90% of attendees at WrestleMania could actually see what's happening in the ring?
I don't

>>2967139
yup and edrones will admit WWE is awful right now but can still get 55k people to turn up

meanwhile Okada/Omega are having the best matches ever* according to Dave Melzter

sad!

E-drones have now started attacking themselves. So this is the power of New Japan Pro Wrestling.

>>2967155
As if that's anything new.

>>2967145
wtf why even bother going?

>>2967215
No idea, but hey let's say the people in nosebleed seats at least see the ring, but look at those standing right next to the ramp, they don't even see the ring.

Remember that time WWE had to tarp off huge sections of the arena to hide all the empty seats? Oh wait... that's happening NOW! LOL!

>>2967224
The ramp was badass though
It made Owens lose some weight too

Literally Who Japan doesn't even have enough dimes to get all their people G1 Climax 27 shirts for this year. Pic related.

PATHETIC

>>2967265
They have G1 Climax white t-shirt you fucking retarded retard, look at Tomoyuki Oka, Whte G1 t-shirt on the left of the image
My God E-drones are just simply mentally challenged, that's the conclussion

>>2967270
The point of the image was to show the highlighted shirt says G1 Climax 26 while it's actually G1 Climax 27 genius. Though I'm sure Vince will have people wear Summerslam 2016 shirts around the ring this year.

>>2967270
the shirt says 26 you fucking retard

>>2967265
>some dude wearing last year's shirt
>this is somehow a big deal

>>2967265
This is some next-level drone 'tism

>>2967215

People probably didn't know their view would be this obstructed. They don't reveal the stage setup until like 2 days before the show now. must suck to realize you will have to watch the screen the entire time

>>2967265

Yeah, I also remember the time when each and every new japan event and match delivered good/great/legendary wrestling quality, while wwe allows only old men and giant poos slap each other + mega gay porn muscle men slightly bump into one another for 10 minutes before botching or dq

Why would I as a spectator care about the attendance numbers? For me the show is the wrestling in front of me, not the money the company behind it makes

Yep, so why even bother going if you could easily watch the same shit, but with way better view on the Network.
WK isn't sold out, but at least even fans that don't have the best seats can see what's going on because of the giant titantron

Pyro, crowd, the whole experience. Also the camera angle is deceiving. I had expensive seats at WM a couple years ago (near the front of the lowest non-floor tier, middle of ring, hard camera side) and despite this I still watched the screen most of the time anyway

>>2967215
And also, WM caps for pretty awesome weekend full of great indy wrestling. Everyone runs show in town during the weekend. So you can go watch some awesome high flying, some brawls and also future WWE guys for fraction you would have to pay for WWE.
And then end it at WM. And fly out next day.

>>2968603
Going to a city for WM weekend sounds awesome but desu I think I'd just go to other shows the whole weekend, watch Wrestlemania at a viewing party, then go to the Raw or SD after Mania for them sweet ass call-ups.

>>2968628
Oh, and, HoF and NXT Takeover too, natch.

>>2967155
how is that blindfolded man seeing what he's applauding?

>>2968517
It's all e-drones have left

And the """monitor"" for WM 32 which doesn't even work it just shows the logo like you haven't seen it one year before the event

>>2967265

But thats not staff though. Thats once of the freelance photographer that hunch around ringside at every event. The actual New Japan wear shirts that say "NJPW Staff" on them. Only the young boys and the referees wear the event shirts.

>>2968726
no during matches and shit that monitor would show the action

the picture was just during a lull

>>2967107
This is Inoki's 2000's MMA Boner fault
If he didn't bury everyone with shoot fights with MMA fighters they would still be pulling 50 to 60 K attendance

It's during a match tho

>>2968740
I was there anon, during action the giant screen was the monitor.

For 60+% of the people there it was all they looked at

>>2968747
I heard they were cut away from the action and show weird shit on the screen, was that true?

>>2968801
A friend told me they had a counter for Lesnars suplexes on the screens above the rong

>>2967136
I've never heard them say for either Raw or SD that the arena was sold out.

>>2968711
You that tiny fucken thing over the ring? You are legally retarded
