AEW has really helped out NJPW, Wrestle Dynasty was a huge success this year. Not sure why the CEO of Bushiroad said they weren't going to do another next year.

Why did you post a picture that was obviously taken hours before the show started? Are you always this disingenuous or is this exclusive to AEW related topics?

Wrestle Kingdom didn't do good either for a dome show on a weekend. Both were huge flops and they lost money.

Imagine if they had a relationship with WWE instead, and they gave Gunther a run as IWGP champion instead of brain damage Mox.

Does NOAH have more upward momentum than NJPW right now? I know NJPW is obviously still bigger.

Did he really say this? Even with the prospect of Kenny, Okada, Ibushi, Ospraey, Mone, Jericho, Cope, The Young Bucks, and Mox?

It's not Tony's fault that Gedo can't book a card properly. If Tony was in charge he'd have filled the place out, just like he does for Forbidden Door every year.

Running the Tokyo Dome two nights in a row never goes well on the second night, and this was known before the AEW partnership even started

It's AEW's fault that the 2nd day does worse. It's Tony Khan's fault. He is loosing and we are winnings!

NOAH is doing better than they were at one point but they're not remotely close to having NJPW numbers right now. Hell AJPW runs shows with comparable ticket sales to NOAH without the funding NOAH has.

No. Although NOAH is in a far better position than they were in say 2017. That was a really grim time.

Imagine if WALTER didn't have the brain damage to believe re-signing the mark contract was a good career move.

If Tony Khan wants to draw dimes he should promote MMA instead of faggy lady boy fake wrestling.

NJPW's problems have nothing to do with Tony and everything to do with Trannyhashi.
