Jesus did they hire Teddy Long for this card.

>>3126435
New Japan used to run Tokyo Dome with these types of cards back in the day. It's puro culture.

>>3126435
Yeah these road to shows are largely pointless besides just giving glimpses into the matches that will happen at the actual shows.

pretty much this, it showcases a taste of what you will see at the big show. and sets up more of the story usually.

I'm sorry Inoki-san. I'm sorry for what your company has become.

>>3126904

Ready for a red-pill, NuJapanlet?
>No it took the collapse of Japanese MMA to fix the problems Japanese MMA caused.

>The fall and recent small recovery of New Japan correlates exactly with the stratospheric rise of PRIDE FC (late 90s/early 2000s) and the eventual collapse of its successor company DREAM (around 2011). Tanahashi didn't 'save wrestling' or whatever you marks believe, it's just that wrestling didn't have to compete with MMA as a mainstream cultural force anymore.

>Back then New Japan and puroresu in general was having to compete with MMA, and TV execs were telling Inoki to push shooters like Ogawa or they'd take away NJPW's TV time slot. Inoki did indeed make some mistakes, but to ignore the more important external factors he had no control over is pure ignorance.

>>3126911
He still chose to push the MMA bullshit, so in the end the fault is entirely on him.

>>3126917
Did you even read what was written? He was having his arm twisted by TV people.

Also everyone was struggling against going out of business during the era where JMMA was huge. NOAH scraped by doing small shows and being conservative in their booking (which lead to Misawa and Kobashi breaking their bodies).

Quit derailing the thread you absolute faggot

>>3126920
Japanese MMA failing is already more than enough proof why inokuck pushing MMA bullshit was stupid, it didn't work in the long run so it was stupid to push it to begin with.

But keep hiding behind "muh TV boogeyman" as a defense for your shitty hero.

>>3126923
come back when your ladyboys sell out the Dome.

>>3126952
No wrestling anywhere on Earth in 2017 will sell out the Tokyo Dome. Quit defaulting to how much money something makes as a defense when you as a consumer don't touch any of that money.

Opinions on BIG GUY?

Juice vs Kenny is gonna be really good
