New Japan realized that the easiest way to fix the audience problem was not to try to wait out or break the "No cheering" rule, but to kike it and subvert it. After greasing the palms of the government, the following is no longer considered cheering:
>Chants for wrestlers at a length of less than 15 seconds>Boos at a length of less than 15 seconds>Cheers at a length of less than 15 seconds>Call and response, cheering catchphrases (eg: De! Ja! Pon! Kaze ni Nare!)>Counting with the refereeSo, the entire crowd can do all of this and the show will have been a no-cheering event with none of the regulation broken. The government keeps the appearance that they are not allowing cheering and New Japan gets the crowd freedom it wants.
