>>8832835They honestly should have leaned into this shit more. Over in Noah Mutoh and Nosawa Rongai produced a bunch of no crowd shows and they went completely experimental with all of them. It was hit or miss to be honest. The misses were meh just about average for pandemic era shows, but the hits were kino as fuck. Demon Muta being confused and angered by the drones, eventually leading him to battle mankind's technology. Fujita's psychological warfare and stardowns. Kenoh's firekicks. Just all sorts of crazy shit was going on in Noah at that time which really led to me liking it more than anything any other promotion was trying to do. Instead of trying to have a normal event without a crowd, Noah treated the empty arenas as an oppotunity to do things that they could never get away with under normal circumstances.
It even started to bleed out into the rest of CyberFight with the Chris Brookes Produce shows being a mashup of early 90s MTV editing, theme park sentai stage shows, and early ECW promos.
