BushiRoad and okada saved Njpw. But they slim it as tanashi making it saved.
Like wwf saying Shawns a draw.

Yukes didn't have commericals and ads for Njpw. Plus the to show was moved way late.
There's a slow decline when mma era started. Plus Muto and Shinya leaving did damages.
>>3073391
These are Njpw guides.
Kidani actually calls Yukes era the dark ages, and the mma era the weird era.
Don't be a faggot.
Was that 90s boom because wrestling went mainstream everywhere or was Japan just based during that time?
>>3073359
Lmao Nakamura as the ACE was a bad idea
Also, the Antonio Inoki retirement show holds the record for biggest audience in attendance
Let's see if Okada and friends can top that number (70,000 people in attendance)

Amount sold, in units of 億 which is 100,000,000. 40億 : 4Billion

They put Okada's picture there at the end but Tanahashi is still the top guy. Okada is like Orton, he has all the tools to be great but just coasts along instead of working hard to push the envelope.
Sure he's the champ now but he's been outshined by Naito and there are other big guys in the dojo like Oka and Kitamura who will surpass him
Without Tana vs Naito WK11 would have sold far less tickets and dominion wouldn't have sold out
>>3073359
you got a NOAH chart?
because didnt they dominate puro in the early 2000s.
>>3073534
>instead of working hard
wat? the guy has been getting the shit beaten out of him all year. he's nowhere near as lazy or WHINY as Orton is. Orton would have cried to Vince if anyone ever stiffed him like Shibata did.

>Okada
>coasts along
wtf

So at it's peak, njpw did roughly $40 million in revenue (assuming 110 yen = 1 usd, and no inflation in Japan)?
>>3073359
Sales?
Sales of what?
also LMAO at NJPW and Bullet Club 2017 being BTFO by nWo Japan and TEAM 2000
Fuck yall niggas gonna do?
>>3074481
Based Toukon Sanjushi BTFO current day NJPW

3 musketeers sell out how many domes? probs about 30+ combined
Okada, Tanahashi, Yakamura have never sold out a dome. And kids today try putting them over cause Dave gives them 5 & 6 stars LMAO! they can't even draw a dome crowd.

reminder that mayweather mcgregor did $80m in ticket sales alone
