Doesn't matter if a promotion is a draw if the promotions that are actual draws are shit.

Ratings peaked with Tanahashi. The Ospreay match gained viewers. When are trannies going to accept that the problem isn't the Japs, but the AEW shitters like Bucks/JE etc?

I accept that. Don't care, though. I watch New Japan cause it's kino. As long as it makes enough money to keep going and staying kino, I'm a happy man.

it's not really, njpw is about as mainstream (probably even less) in japan as wwe is in america. but weebs like to believe it's super mainstream over there and bigger than lego

It's less. But New Japan is a titan among the Japanese companies. The second most popular company also belongs to Bushiroad and is at like 60% of the popularity. So the WWE comparison is apt in a way.

I have no problem with Forbidden Door as a PPV idea. But making all your TV angles revolve around people who aren't in your company is really ill advised.

It's like 3 weeks and people have definitely gotten interested. Ospreay is getting over and I'm happy for him.

Don't worry once it's over they'll start featuring nobodies from ROH again as Tony will need to build to the next PPV.

NJPW fans, and I mean the actual fans, not the lapsed e-marks, don't want it to be popular in the US. NJPW has bigger issues right now, like roster depth, which AEW might help with, but so far the partnership hasn't benefited either side.

NJPW was hot as fuck back around when AJ Styles signed. There's a reason WWE and AEW raided them so hard. After that they've completely failed at building up any new acts so we're stuck in an endless loop of seeing the same match ups over and over again.

The worst is yet to come. Tanahashi is going to beat Mox so they can have that "dream match" with CM Punk. Just wait.

Still a net loss
meanwhile you were sitting on what could've been the biggest angle in pro wrestling with MJF but decide to cool his jets by keeping him off tv and your shows entirely

I'm a New jaChad and I accept that a lot of people aren't gonna know wrestlers from NJPW, but it didn't have to be booked this poorly. run a fucking video package telling the casuals who Jay White is, take a little time to build instead of trying to rush everything by suddenly having a run-in every match.

this didn't have to be a mess, it's just that Tony Khan doesn't know what he's doing.

Part of it is that I guarantee you either Tony and Gedo (or both) wanted to rush out this show as fast as possible after they managed to make up, which is why the schedules are all fucked.
But yeah, that still doesn't excuse Tony not doing at least a few video packages (He did one and it was for fucking Moxley lmao). Just amateur shit.

they have no stars in the pipeline and are like WWE, relying on older talent. but nowhere near as bad as them.

New Japan has always been almost 100% focused on live shows so Japan's extremely restrictive COVID policies fucked them over completely.
