Yep 10 milly. Tanahashi's retirement was the biggest wrestling event of the century. Beyond all Wrestlemanias and 2000-2001 WWF.

Shut the fuck up. Why the dumbass cope? If 20 people watch Vatican City Pro Wrestling, is that the equivalent of 40 milly in the United States?

It did 3 milly. That's good enough.

This. Dave is retarded, but 3 milly is still really good, and I wonder how many more around the world were watching online. I really hope New Japan can ride some momentum from this and build back up to why they once were.

Hate to be that guy, but 3.5 million in tv ratings percentage is around 3%, which is very late-night slot tier ratings and are horrendous for primetime shows, which at their lowest get 6%. If a primetime show gets lower than that, it would get cancelled.

It got a rating of 5.2% and the Yahoo JP ojii-sans, which are usually pretty negative and doomsday about anything from NJPW after 2000, see this as a big success.

5.2% means over 5 million viewers. I don't know why the tweet in OP says 3.5. That number brings it to an unpopular tv drama ratings range, which is phenomenal for pro-wrestling today.
