people who follow puro, njpw included, are workrate marks more or less, not drawfags. why the fuck would anyone watch anything other than wwe if they were a drawfag?
you're damn sure not going to wake up at 5am to watch a show because you want to see how many people at in attendance.

Ok I'm just gonna say it, NJPW needs to change up their booking style. I'm sorry if it offends but they are booking too many of these pointless messy tag matches. When you combine that with the near-complete lack of storytelling outside the ring, it makes for a boring show. They have some of the best athletes in the game but they just aren't drawing interest.

So all the comments when NJPW x DDT ppv happened were all in my head? Anon, it's clear that a lot of fags here feel like "they lost" against minor promotions because for some reason NJPW is not drawing more people for a big tournament.
I personally don't care for attendance, wrestlers' worth is not proven on how many people are sit in the venue but many fans do feel threatened. Even in japan the comments on NJPW's status are pretty grim.
Also aside looking for photos, I do not talk about puro on twitter.

tag matches are not a problem but yeah the lack of storytelling and charismatic characters is fucking grim right now
the world champ is a fucking CAW technical faggot and the secondary champ is an injured AEW ready tranny. I watched some of the dark era G1 matches in the last few days. It still had prime Tenzan, Nagata, Takayama, Sasaki and other guys. Even washed up Chono mogs the shit out of literally the whole fucking 2025 roster, that's a guy that had charisma and could make even the grimest crowd they drew cheer like they were sold out. Even as a grimster I think it is getting depressing at this point and if the fatass judo guy can't save them then I think we'll have to find another word to describe current Shin Nihon because it'll be beyond the grimest shit imaginable.

NTA but if we talk about puro, going by the logic of wrestlers chasing money at this point no indie (big or small) promo should exist and all the people would work for big names, but this is not what happen and the indie scene is pretty big.
I'm sure that the biggest reason for moving to AEW or any other foreign promotion is to gain more popularity, a better income, but you have to question what kind of loyalty these wrestlers have if it's so easy to get poached.

The indie scene is only big because there's very limited room at the top. And even the guys at the "top" in Japan (meaning a lot of NOAH and DDT guys) are paid per appearance and make peanuts -- you can make more on the American indies by far.
Japanese indie guys aren't the guys NJPW should be poaching though, that should be companies like Dragon Gate and DDT's job. NJPW should be snatching up top NOAH/DDT/AJPW stars but Bushiroad is fucking retarded and holding on to every yen right now. They refuse to pay anyone.
I hate to always bring it up but I think it's significant that Aussie Open were holding the IWGP heavyweight tag belts, some of your marquee titles, and weren't even on one-year contracts, they were just being paid per appearance with no guarantees. You will never retain wrestlers with this sort of strategy. There are just better places for them to work.
It lowers NJPW down to the level of NOAH and DDT because it's all they are willing to pay, that same tier of investment from the parent company.
You have to spend money to make money and Bushiroad refuses to spend money right now. Maybe they're actually trying to lure Tony Khan into a buyout.

Big fish eats the little fish, anon. Tenryu, Choshu, Saito, Sasaki, Kojima. How many guys on the roster right now aren't dojo guys? Takagi, SANADA, Taichi, etc, etc.
You're a retard.
Also, Tony Khan is part of the problem because he is allowing Bushiroad to view attendance/interest drops like this as insignificant due to the huge Forbidden Door/Jan show payouts.

Yes, I know that he said it isn't for money. But then he says "properly value what a wrestler's match is worth" which makes it sound like it's about money.
And again, if it's about remaining a top guy and being booked strong or if it's about a more leisurely schedule that is more convenient, why is he taking some random booking in the UK where the only possible explanation is that it's for money?
What other interest is being served by the dates Naito has booked?

the yellow bar is profits, also look at the numbers at the dome nigga, Naito outdrew them.
the reason why Jay and Okada got the bar this high is because the Wrestle Grimdom they fought on was built on Inoki's death

I'm not gonna absolve Bushiroad or whoever behind-the-scenes as not a factor but I don't really think about the business side much in part because I think it's possible that nothing can be realistically done regardless of he talent. At best you can keep business floating with old hands using their former popularity but a lot of older fans may just be checking out with Naito and/or Tanahashi leaving regardless of anything else going on. Remember NJPW still does by far the most overall business in the country too, wrestling simply isn't a draw and young people who aren't just children of fans aren't coming out in numbers strong enough to offset the transition period of the 20's (the fujoshi are hardly on a large enough scale either and if they were the product probably wouldn't be what most of us want anyways). Like I wouldn't be surprised if every young guy was Takeshita level with good looks, engrossing booking and stellar marketing and at best business picks up a little past average.
Maybe if some manga creator makes the next big sports manga about pro wrestling and the company successfully capitalizes on it you could pull some new heads but long term would still be an issue.

I agree that this would be a down period regardless but this is the time to spend money to buoy things up, to bring in outsiders to help draw during what you should be planning to be a down time due to a need to make young guys.
Inoki did it, he brought in Choshu and Tenryu to help bridge the gap between himself and Fujinami and the guys they had coming up in the dojo that he knew would be stars.

The live event business in Japan seems to be doing fine for the most part at this point. Yes, wrestling is for sure cyclical, but I do not think the whole industry is struggling. The Joshi promotions in particular are having a lot of success currently (admittedly in part because of retirement shows). Noah is really picking up steam to the point where they drawing higher than they were even pre-pandemic. New Japan needs a true ace; just like DDT and Dragon Gate. And at least those two promotions are working in the right direction (Shun being crowned & that fujo bait boy band guy helping them sell out korakeuns). Maybe if we are lucky they will actually pick someone to push in this G1.

Shitposting aside Iβve enjoy it overall. Drilla has sucked, but Oiwa and SANADA are outperforming expectations. Heβs about to lose plenty, but I like that they made Narita a true threat every night. Taichi barely making it and then having a good match at the very least every night helps too.

New Japan fans are known to cope and try very hard to convince themselves the current product is the best thing ever, even when everything points to it being actually dimeless and grim beyond belief.
Shota Umino and Yota Tsuji could have some dimeless 50 minutes overbooked fight in front of 300 snoring fans and the western piggies would still call it the best thing ever.

New Japan is grim. I hate New Japan. New Japan doesn't make enough money. How high are the ticket prices? How many DVDs does Yano sell? Is Bushiroad still making Milano wear a mask?
My eyes literally cannot see good matches happening unless there are a certain amount of fans visible in the stands. Watching Shin Nihon is a hell for me.
Anyway, I'm going to go jerk off to my true love Buggi Sukakaki and cry about Bushiroad oppressing my beloved joshi fed that wrestles in a lunch box. Her tummy is highly erotic.

Not a njpwfag, watch other japanese promotions more than njpw and im enjoying this G1 for what is giving. the attendance numbers doesn't bother me for obvious reason lol not every match has to be a 4* or 5*, today block was fairly decent and only two match were entertaining enough

Wanting to make Ren more of a threat is fine but I just can't take him seriously. His stuff has little impact and he just works like a bootleg Kanemaru. Plus I'll never get over that dumbass fucking hair. At least SHO is jacked as he dyes his hair like a female Tekken character

It's the G1 Crymax, bro. When in doubt, just cry, cry, cry.
Insider here. They're doing a big angle with Shota turning on ELP and Tanahashi at the G1 final show. Young Blood will be back with him and Shota will be the leader of a new faction.

Insider here. Shota will be eliminated by Uemura. The reason behind his heel turn will be to build his rivalry with Uemura who's seen as the leader of Hontai going forward.

Someone has to turn heel at some point.
Yuya is better at what they wish Shota could do, Tsuji won't go heel because he's a flippy bangerino merchant, Oiwa is a good midcard babyface, Bolchin is over. Shota is the odd one here so they can turn him heel without having him shitting up the card doing the House Of Shitters routine.
