Have you noticed a pattern? A certain word sticking out at you? It begins with S and it ends with OUT. I've also taken into account this board's mental retardation and have helped out by adding emphasis to the operative word in the hopes that it stands out some more. How does this make you feel, /asp/?
>>2988695
Is that picture of Raw recently? I haven't watched WWE except for PPVs recently. If so that's pretty embarrassing.
>>2988749
yep, Miz TV on the titantron
>>2988749
It was this week's RAW in TORONTO
>>2988749
toronto is supposed to be a big market for them so its extra disappointing
>>2988749
Oh, buddy, not only was that "recently", this was last week in fucking TORONTO, a market they've dominated, had no trouble selling out and could rely on for years. Toronto is what they consider an "A" City and they missed a sellout by several thousands. Really paints a picture of the state of the WWE.
WWE is simply boring and nothing happens that would make you want to tune in next week hoping to see something cool.
>>2988695
so you're bragging about NJPW's 5th biggest show of the year doing less than both raw AND smackdown did this week when the wwe does 52 of each a year and both of these were in the same building back to back nights?
Okay
Just a reminder. How's your business doing, E-drones?
>>2988820
>5th biggest show of the year
It's not though.
>>2988695
What were WWE house show numbers during same period?
>>2988906
He won't post bc he knows they were better
>>2988974
Prove they drew better than SmackDown house shows during same period. You're full of shit! WWE is mainstream. NJPWeebo is niche.
Today's show was the first time whojapan has sold out the Friday A Block final since deciding to use this dumb "let's book Ryōgoku 3 nights in a row!" idea.
Big Draw Naito
>>2989079
>same period
WWE hasn't released numbers from that exact same period yet and most likely won't for months.
> 7/8 Corpus Christi, TX = WWE Smackdown house show drew 2,500
> 7/9 Hidalgo, TX = WWE Smackdown house show drew 4,000
> 7/10 Laredo, TX = WWE Smackdown house show drew 800
> 7/22 Wildwood, NJ = WWE Smackdown house show drew 3,800
> 7/24 Newark, DE = WWE Smackdown house show drew 3,000

Why do JDrones keep BTFOing themselves this much?
>>2989149
>le trolling
neck yourself
>>2989154
anon youre missing the point
since 2015, they've run A block final in the same building on the same day of the week.
Tanahashi/AJ did 2,000 less and Okadnetty/Tanahashi did 1,000 less than the house Naito just drew
this is about big draw naito and how he does big draw things
>>2989187
Non-Draw Naito (2016~2017):

Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Kenny Omega

What's that?
>>2989197
Be careful - what you are showing is that NJPW is having better year, not that Naito doesn't draw.
>>2989222
>what you are showing is that NJPW is having better year
Want me to compare 2015 numbers to Naito's numbers in 2016? lol.
>>2988695
>WWE has tarps to cover up unsold seats
>NJPW has tarps to show the fans favorite wrestlers
Really activates the almonds
>>2989201

Are they not broadcast then? Is G1 not meant to be a prestigious tournament?
>>2989197
Dominion
>2016: that 10,000 was carried by Naito/Okada. Go take a look at who their co-main was. Fucking pre-G1 Omega and literal who Elgin in a shitty WWE gimmick match the fans didn't buy.

Dontaku
>Ishii doesn't draw, brother
Here, anon try these:
G1 B Block Final 2016
>Sold out and did 1,000 more than Okada/Tanahashi the night prior. yes, it outdrew that year's Dome main event by 1000
Power Struggle 2016
>Sold Out in 2 weeks advance against literal who gaijin Jay Lethal
New Beginning 2017
>Sold Out with against gaijin LElgin; matched the business drawn from Okada/Suzuki
G1 A Block 2017
>has more than twice the total tickets sold than those drawn from B Block. I know, A Block got the bigger venues... there is a reason for that, anon.
G1 A Block Final 2017
>Sold out the A Block Final Sumo Hall show for the first time ever, something Styles/Tana & Okada/Tana didn't even come close to doing.
>oh btw, LOS and Naito have dominated the shop for a year now and move merch faster than they can supply it.
BTFO
>>2989222
>implying that Naito isn't a huge reason why NJPW is having a big year.
top fucking kek
>>2989268
WWE's had tournament advances on house shows too, quit being obtuse.
>>2989223
>New Japan attendance is rising this year in accordance to Naito & Omega becoming top guys
What's new in this picture? Tanahashi and Okada have been in these spots for years, and business is up up up.
Hmmmmmm I wonder why?
We should have asked the fans every single night an A Block show was run this year as to why more of them are giving NJPW their money this year as compared to years when Tana, Okada, Nakamura, and Styles were on top, but they wouldn't have been able to hear the question because it would be drowned out by loud NAITO chants
>>2989314
It turns out having 4 big stars (2 hot stables) and a fresh main event scene is better than having just 2 stars.
>>2988695
thanks poindexter but ask yourself who really cares
>>2989325
They had Nakamura & Styles before the New Beginning last year
>>2989336
Styles didn't connect with the fans like Omega does.
Naito has already proven to be a bigger star than Nakamura (at the moment, anyway).
>>2989309
> Jdrone deflecting simple questions as much as they deflect females
Every single time
Answer me now redddit
>>2989351
I mean, they didn't even trust AJ to main event Tokyo Dome.
>>2989325
well duh. That's what happens when you have draws and they rake in dimes.
Just saying there is a reason why NJPW attendance in Japan is up, and it's not really because of the guys who have been in these positions all along. Business was good when the big 4 was Okada, Tana, Nak, Styles..... but it's even fucking better when it's Okada, Tana, Naito, Omega.
>>2989353
>Bretkuk demanding answers when he's already bitched out from multiple threads
New Japan broadcasting every G1 show is only a recent decision
>>2989351
There is no reason to put *for now* caveat on that.
This statement implies that Nakamura was ever a big draw, which he wasn't lel.
If Naito dies tomorrow, he will always be bigger draw than Nakamura ever was in Japan. Nakamura may go down as a legend and I'm not questioning how great he could be, but Naito has done what Nakamura don't: draw dimes.
people forget that Shinsuke was one of the reasons why NJPW was in a hole and had to be saved by Tanahashi. As soon as they stopped pushing Nak and gave it to Tana, business made a 180.
>>2989401
Nakamura drew dimes as le Yeaoh man, though.
>>2988695
>celebrating a sellout of 3000 people
Fucking hell. That's pathetic.
>>2989099
They didn't sell out the building. The fed still can't do many sold out sumo halls, budokans, sold out Toyko domes, all those big building they used in the 90s.
The last g1 always sell some out mostly. I also wanna see tomorrow's show as well.
Okada vs Omeme man might do better.
Profits are up, merch is up. Their merch is their real shining aspect.
>>2989353
>bretcuck came crawling back to /asp/ and is already sperging left and right
Lmao. Cuckcord didn't work out?
>>2989390
Every thread i ask these uncomfortable questions the weebs scurry away and ignore them.
Just like people do to Jdrones irl at social gatherings
>>2989100
The fact that WWE is venturing to places they've never been (like Argentina in October, which is sold out) makes me wonder if they're giving up on advertising house shows in the US and putting more emphasis on the "new" markets.
>>2989584
Globalism is the future for entertainment. Even if America decades to become America first.
>>2989569
They sold out, retard. Get your facts straight.
>>2989569
lel they did sell out.
Omega & Okada can't do better outside of stragglers.
The config for the Final Block night G1 shows is 7,500.
As of a few days ago, B Block was not sold out yet, whereas A Block was sold out in advance. It will get there, tho, if it hasn't already. For the Final, then config is 10,000+ and it will be super no-vacancy because well you already know.
Like I wrote, anon, the numbers don't lie:
A Block Final in Sumo Hall
>7,500 - Naito vs Tanahashi (2017)
>6,600 - Okada vs Tanahashi (2016)
>5,660 - Tanahashi vs Styles (2015)
B Block Final in Sumo Hall
>7,500 (likely) - Okada vs. Omega (2017)
>7,500 - Naito vs Omega (2016)
>7,500 - Okada vs. Nakamura (2015)
here's some extra sauce:
G1 in Sapporo
>6,189 - Naito vs Ibushi (2017)
>5,533 - Okada vs Marufuji (2016)
>5,500 - Tanahashi vs. Ibushi (2015)
G1 in Nagoya
>6,327 - Naito vs Ishii (2017)
>5,500 - Naito vs. Shibata (2016)
>5,500 - Tanahashi vs. Yano (2015)
>>2989612
Okada/Omega sold out in advance, moron.
The final day's ticket price is higher than ever before and it's the way to selling out as well.
>>2989623
wew lad that's good! As it should seeing as B Block Final ALWAYS sells out.
A Block Final never sells out... until it did. Today.
By 1,000 more than last year and 2,000 more than the year prior.
Big Draw Naito.
>>2989641
aw poor babby been BTFO
7500 is what they run; don't be mad at us be mad at NJPW.
That being said, I get what you're saying. But this isn't like when NJPW acts niggerish and say "OMG we sold out the Tokyo Dome with 25,000!"

>Have you noticed a pattern? A certain word sticking out at you? It begins with S and it ends with OUT.
You're right, they can't even draw as much as nWo Souled Out which was terrible. How pathetic. Well hopefully they can fill half the Tokyo Dome yet again in January on their biggest show of the year.
>>2988695
less than a fucking 205 live house show
Nobody goes to RAW and wants to sit on the hard camera side.
>>2992137
