However, it's harder to get into with no live streaming of shows unless they are on the $35 ppv's that they run far too often. Merch is overpriced and it's difficult to get hand signed portraits unless you actually go to the shows.
TJPW is wonderful in it's simplicity and ease of entry with even their biggest shows being streamed live at no extra cost. Merch is cheaper, portraits and cheki are hand signed on live streams which make it easier to feel a connection with the girls. The matches, while not as technically sound, deliver a light, fun experience and the comedy is hilarious even if you don't know exactly what they are riffing on. It would be nice if they would ease the logjam at the top as it can get stale seeing the same 3-4 girls rotating the top belt but, that's a fairly minor gripe when the rest of it is so enjoyable.
Of course, these are just my thoughts and opinions and may not be representative of others.
