>Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter wrote that the show had a "very different feel from the company's recent major shows" due to the disappointing attendance number. Meltzer wrote that while A.J. Styles had the talent, it was too early for him to be a main event draw and that Japanese fans had not accepted him as the "real world champion".
AJ couldn't cut it in the big leagues.
Bullet Club is now selling more merch than ever, and Omega is drawing huge as its leader.

WOAT
I know about this, Back to the Yokohama Arena was only half-filled because nobody knew who this emo hair manlet was and the reason why he's shorter than the average Japanese female

AJ Styles has never been a big draw and I got news for you Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks are not big draws either. They are niche audience draws i.e. the vocal minority. Save the excuses. End of story.

the company began its turn around with devitt, and then aj. Okada and Tanahashi were not big stars before bullet club made them draws.

What the actual fuck? Tanahashi saved the company and made it number 1 in Japan before Bullet Club was created you "I watch since Dominion 2017" PINHEAD!

>a fucking edrone
Tanahashi was drawing well before the BC's formation, and he's the one that put Okada over.
AJetty has always been overrated. People thought he was the GOAT last year because of a few mediocre matches with Cena.

AJ Styles has never drawn, but to be fair, New Japan immediately put the title on a guy the fans there had never heard of. It's kind of like when WWE put the title on Sheamus back in 2009. Just way too early.

Yes, they thought he's some sort of big time attraction and stuff and they were proved wrong with just 1 event, lol.
He should have stayed in TNA and wrestle in this arena
