/wooo/ - Pro Wrestling

Hope this was a good enough post.

lol

>>132608

>January 4th 2:00 AM EST/1:00 AM CST/12:00 AM MST/11:00 PM PST

Is that when the pre show with the NEVER 6 man tag match starts as well?

>>132652

It includes the pre show yeah.

>>132653

Cool. Thanks.

>>132657

i blame gedo

>>132661

That's why that sneaky fucker joined the bullet club, to get that sweet western merch money

Fan Fiesta is live now, if anyone's awake.

Sorry I haven't been around lads, as is obvious by now irl has been kinda hectic. Gonna watch Kingdom live with you guys though.

>>132670

It's cool man.

>>132665

I was never really into those.

i grabbed this link btw: https://njpwworldjap.blogspot.com/52a98cb8-80c5-4d61-84cf-d15d432c4642

it's the japanese stream of njpw at all times and you dont need to have a subscription to watch it. share it with friends and family.

>>132683

Cool thanks. Won't have to deal with taimafags too.

So the event starts at 1600 local time, is the New Japan Rumble at 1530 or is it at the 1600?

>>132686

7am GMT or 4pm Japan local time is when the Pre show match begins with the main show beginning at 5pm Japan local time

>>132683

BASED thx, needed to have some friends watch it

>>132689

>>132683

wait why is it a 3 min clip then?

>>132690

i checked earlier and it was different clip. my guess is when there's no stream it just shows their last vod for example a 3 minute test stream

>>132695

He hasnt been a heel since G1 special at Cow Palace

>Minoru and KES relegated to the preshow

>Kanemaru and Despy's run almost certainly gonna end here

>Zack wrestling a guy that we'd all be happy to have in the stable, and is probably jobbing to him still really like you Rock Dog

Being a Suzuki Gun fan is gonna be suffering today, but I guess it could be worse.

Should start now

>>132702

>>132701

It hurts, lads.

Started!

we starting lads. here comes the gauntlet.

>Scurll's theme plays instead of Page

why is chase there

>>132702

>>132704

Goto is never getting the big one and its time everyone accepts that Kenny beating him at the G1 climax finals was the nail in the coffin, I was so happy to see that he finally got a chance with the tana/okada time out fuckery but it all just got swept away

He might have another IC title run in him but who knows at this point with naito holding it.

>>132707

1) The nips love Scurll's theme

2) Scurll is possibly on the way out, Paige, Chase and Takahashi are likely staying.

I know this team is filler, but I kinda like it.

>>132711

meh. i was hoping to see elgin and cobb again.

>>132712

True, but I am never unhappy to see Dave or Blue Justice.

>>132713

fair enough. but i feel like blue justice has teams he'd fit in better and finlay would work better with juice too.

anybody know if they sold more tokyo dome seats this year than last?

>>132715

They did.

>>132714

True, but Juice is further up the card.

lmao chase eats boot.

>>132717

yeah i know i was just talking in general

wew elite btfo

rip yujiro pinnef by dave finlay

third wheel goto

>>132720

and as you say that he starts off the match without a hint of fair play. goto is the mole

>You will live to see Goto be the old man who only gets pins on Young Lions and eats the pin in 6 mans with main roster

>>132722

hes gonna go the way of tenzan

>>132723

That hurts bro. Almost as much as Tenzan's poor legs

Jeff KNOB spotted in the wild

Wow finlau 2 for 2

>>132725

that skintight latex singlet was a bad idea

https://twitter.com/MasanoriHorie/status/1081055827610558464

>>132727

It really fucking is, but the meme is worth it.

>inb4 Finlay goes all the way

Kill em KES

Real main event right here.

Good old school old man fight

When the time comes (and we know it will come sooner than we like), who doe Minoru and Yuji wrestle their retirement matches against?

>>132732

old man puro is what i imagine custody battles are like in japan

WE DID IT REDDIT

Holy cow Makabe not muted. Tokyo Fome bringing it big.

Also,

NOT MUTED

>>132733

>nagata

kouraken main event against tanahashi

>suzuki

whoever the up and comer of suzukigun is (would probably be zsj right now)

DBS Jr. Shouts out to the Hulkster

>>132743

YOU AREN'T BREATHING WITH THE SUWITCHUBLADE ENOUGH RIN, YOU DON'T GET TO BE A PART OF NEW ERA

Get the feeling Yano is gonna pin Suzuki for this fall, to keep the joke going.

time for shenanigans

>Yano kicks out of Hart Attack

STRONG CONFIRMED

>Taguchi actually knocks down a hebyQ with the Hip Attack

>>132743

that's what you get for wanting english commentary

The pin wasn't on Suzuki, but Yano cheats another one out of Suzukigun, felt it would likely go this way.

Taguchi JapanXGBHXChaos did it

time for that never championship folks. let's get fucked.

25min BREAK till the main show now

So, will this match be

A) THE GAY COMMUNITY personified

B) An incredible NEVER match

C) The funeral of either Ospreay or Ibushi

or

D) All of the above

>>132754

ospreay vs ricochet 2 but with kicks

NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GO TO THE SHOPS LADS, GET YOUR SNACKS NOW

Thoughts on the gauntlet? I won't lie and pretend that I prefer this to the New Japan Rumble, but it turned out a lot more entertaining than expected. Finlay getting a couple of pins was nice, I think they set the stage for which lads are staying in NJPW and which ones are going to Elite out of the B Team, more Best Friends teasing was good but they need to either wrap it up or BREAK them up now, Suzuki Nagata was fun while it lasted, and GBH/Chaos/TaguchiJapan should be cool at Dash.

tl;dr woulda preferred the rumble but this was good, would be 5-6/10 on the actual card but a solid 7/10 to open with.

>>132756

Okay, for the next question, who jumps off the higher object, and what is that object? Merely a top turnbuckle to outside, or do we see them go to the stage or something?

>>132758

Ospreay and Ibushi at the same time.

>>132759

Spanish fly from the top turnbuckle to outside?

>>132760

Henare does seem like a fun lad.

>>132757

It was short and fun, all it needed to be. I do miss the chance it gave an up and comer that the rumble did though.

Not counting last WK, Honma returning and Shibata seconding Tana were probably emotional highlights of the year for me. Really loved the Chadblade turn, BOSJ finals and Suzuk/Okada broadway as well.

beeg matchy schduuuuu!

Wait, MSG is confirmed? Was still rumor when I last checked, HOLY SHIT.

>>132765

Kita is still planning to return, isn't he? Brain injuries gonna fuck with that, but I wish him the best of luck.

>>132766

yeah i hadnt heard it confirmed either, really hyped for that card now

>>132755

if anyone needs any japanese translated, screencap what you need me to translate.

>>132768

I'm just amazed a non WWE got into the Garden. Did they let their exclusive contract slip or something? Other feds normally do the Hammerstein instead.

Damn 2020 WK14 capitalizing on a 2 day weedend show

2019 is Harold's expansion year, it seems.

>this attitude era tier theme

1234 BREAK

>G1 Climax tournament opener in Dallas, Texas

What the fuck?

>Wrestle Kingdom 14 is a two day event

How are they going to fill the

>>132774

How are they going to fill the card? Collaboration with other promotions?

>>132775

Headline one with ic and the other with hebbycue. My guess is that the shows are going to have longer matches and more intermissions

this nibba lookin like ezio auditore

Ospreay's theme is awesome.

>>132775

Possibly. Don't forget, Dome shows used to feature a mix of Japanese and Western promotions and you still get the occasional British or RoH match at WK (as we do this year), I wouldn't be surprised if you see it be a mainly NJPW card with every belt on the line, NEVER 6 man or something will have contender match night 1 title match night 2 and the like. Will probs have something like RoH, Progress, CMLL and the like featured.

IT BEGINS LADS

So lads, is Kota going to America with his boyfriend, or is he going to actually take his place in NJPW as he was meant to?

based don callis is on comms finally

Hoping tiger mask makes a surprise appearance

ouch that was a weird spaniard flyer

*shlap*

kotha ibuthi

holy shit ospray won

E L E V A T E D

Great match

ohshit he did it

That was a fucking good match, what I expect from NEVER

think we'll get goto/ospreay?

Ibushi is DEAD

rip

>ibushi loses

>one half of golden lovers lose

Kenny to join him next

>>132791

Doubt it. Stable members dont really challenge each other for the belts. Also Goto said that he leaves the NEVER title scene into Ospreay's hands.

roppongi be gay be gay be gay

So, guess that Ibushi is staying in Japan, I don't think his family would want him buried in the US.

Shingo finally gets a better mask

bushi appropriating indians

Gonna be hard to watch lads, don't wanna see our boys drop the belt but the run can't keep going. I think that this is the night where finally they don't keep getting away with this.

shoutout to desperado for finding the coolest way to wear that belt

>>132799

They've had the belts for like 8 months I think, the longest reign I've seen since I started watching NJPW. Don't mind them dropping.

>>132799

>>132801

At least they're not jobbing to The Young Bucks.

>>132802

what a handsome guy

>>132801

I know, they've had a great run at it, just not looking forward to BUSHI taking it off them (although I don't mind Shingo).

Shingo is beast

Felt like it ended kinda fast but alright.

LOS winning all the titles tonight.

And so starts the run of a guy I like and a guy I really don't like.

Was fun while it lasted Despy/Kanemaru boys, at least we should get the rematch by virtue of not being the party involved in the result.

>>132805

Hey your boys didn't get pinned!

>>132810

Taking that positive, also taking the positive that Shingo was the one who got the pin, but not looking forward to the next couple of months for junior tag belts.

Guess Shingo is staying a Jr. Heavyweight for a while now. Maybe till Hiromu returns at least.

>>132812

I think Shingo will be a junior until Hiromu comes back, then he will probably be the bridge between Juniors and Heavies in NEVER, alongside Ospreay.

well that jr tag match was a jobber match.

Taka looking SHARP tonight.

Look at TAKA with his cum coloured hair

>>132817

If yours is metallic I suggest you consult a medical professional, m8.

Ishii's first singles match at WK since WK10 against Shibata

>>132820

What a match that was, I still cringe thinking of that headbutt.

lmao is that a guygin ref

strangest canadian destroyer i've ever seen

>Canadian destroyer

why is there a pac-man advertisement

JUST

gay

>ZSJ made Ishii give up at G1 climax amd Wrestle Kingdom

its not fair bros

at least its over

british byron saxton btfo

>Rock dog taps

Well fuck, that doesn't happen that often. Felt that Zacku would win since the rest of Suzukigun lost, and it will bring pommy eyes. Good match though, from both men.

Bucks just here to make the other teams look strong

>>132834

inb4 gedo swerves everyone and they win

>Sanada holds the trophies so EVIL can have a giant fucking scythe

holy shit ebiru can conjure magic circles now

light up fan thing shit.

Neat fan gimmick from Evil, bet it looks awesome in the arena.

>>132838

>>132840

He brought that against Y2J at Power Struggle the first time

who wants to bet EVIL comes in with a satanic drone next WK

G.O.D. new theme song? woah

Neat a new theme

sounds kinda like ajs wwe theme to me

>>132843

Well it was okay for Rocky to have made their theme before because while they were rival stables Gedo was cool with Rocky. Now that Rocky and Gedo are no longer friends but Gedo and GOD are friends, we have to give them a new theme.

Cool masks GOD

Holy shit skeltal Jado

Jado looking fucking great.

tim tama forgot his face paint<

Good boy tama tonga

Good Guy Tonga

Tama Tonga is still (possibly alongside Juice) the most entertaining in ring talker.

Tama real good boy

Sanada on fire

Sanada is gonna win NJC

Who're the legal men anyway?

RIP TIGER HAT

Fale stopped Jado only to hit them himself?

Sanada is the man

If we see Naito beat Y2J we will see all of the active members of LIJ holding a belt again.

stupid sexy sanada

I dont really wanna do this but this has gotta be my shit BREAK match

The juice is loose

My stream is getting stuck damnit. Hope it works till the end. Missed the entrances.

Come on Juice BEAT BRANDI

DQ this shit Tiger wtf

Brandi the first Female NJPW Wrestler

GET OUT NIGGER.

Also

>Juice has to sell a spear by Brandi

Lame

>>132868

She's not Maria

Cross Roads was a good move. Too bad it's been utterly buried.

>>132871

did maria hit a move in ring

>>132873

She put moves on in a ring, that's for sure.

>>132873

I think so. She was in a match with Kingdom against Gallows, Anderson and Amber Gallows.

THE YAPAPI STRAP BROTHER

good riddance the elite.

That was pretty fast. Also kinda average. Cody really is a 3 star general.

new champs all around

THE JUICE IS LOOSE

Christ, Cody is horrible. I hope this means he will do less in ring work when running AEW.

>>132879

It's always like that at WK. Only the IC title and heavyweight title gets defended.

>>132881

The one defence of Cody I will offer is that he is a lot better in person. Cody doesn't have X-Pac heat outside of the states, fans hate him as they are meant to hate heels, but the end result is that he elevates the faces in matches he works.

That being said, no excuse for how poorly it translates to television/online.

NEW CHIMPS

new mask looks worse

Reminder: if taiji loses he has to become the new captain new japan

Why didnt he bring out his crutch

the state of kushida

wtf

Fun gimmick.

neat

kek i dont know if that was cool or lame

>>132892

it's hip to be square

boner expanded

welp

Good match, but a bit short. Didn't feel as good as what either is capable of.

Is it me, or does it feel like matches are being rushed for the main event matches?

All the matches so far have been short and sweet, expect some really long main events

New champ. Decent match but I feel like it could have been better. The Jr. Division got kinda stuck in a rut since hiromu retired it and Kushida was an utter transitional champ. Hope Ishimori has a good reign. Cant wait for Hiromu to return

>>132897

>>132898

I guess so

I didn't even watch most of jr. heavyweight title match. The Cody match deflated me.

Lets get right into the new era boys

White gear because he is Jay WHITE i get it

No idea who's winning this one

>>132904

Jay hits blade runner and Gedo goes for the pin

>>132904

jay with the help of yoshi-hashi who joins BC

OKADA OLD THEME WEW

HOLY SHIT SHITTY THEME BTFO

GOATKADA IS BACK

Blonde hair back too. Jay ie fucking finished!

THE REAL OKADA IS BACK

JAY IS FUCKING LOSING

Holy fuck trunks too

OKADA BINGO CARD FILLED

>>132912

Looks smaller than before tho

Fans are going nuts over the old costume

TRUNKS ARE BACK NO MORE MUMS SPAGHETTI BELLBOTTOMS

HE'S BACK

vintage okada right there

Fuck my net. Stream stuck at the start

What happened at the start?

cmon jay ;- ;

Jay is so much more comfortable in his role now. What a difference 12 months makes.

>>132921

Guess it takes a while to get used to being an edgy knife pervert

Jay is getting whipped

welp, there goes okada's era

Year of the pig. Year of Tranquilo.

>>132933

if dubs say so

No lightbulb jacket but a spiky jacket

Damn a piledriver on the ramp to start the match

brutal

Naito all out attack. Sick of Jeriboomer's shit.

Boomer Jericho taking after Foley

>jericho has benoit tights

holy shit

Yeowch

>Jericho ringing the bell, avin a giggle

>>132943

Looks similar but not the same. Who was it that was convinced that Benoit was murdered? Chavo, or someone else?

>>132945

it's obviously an homage. Just different enough to have deniability though

>>132946

I definitely agree with that, Jericho has watched his words carefully the last couple of years regarding Benoit. At the time he went in to bat for WWE and basically pushed the official story no questions asked, but in the last couple of years he has just shut up altogether about it.

all the chairs

Fuckin hell missed the past 5min. Stream keeps getting stuck

LIJ all hold gold.

one match left…

>>132951

Hope my shitty stream lasts

I forgot how much i loved to see Naito mistreat that belt.

>>132950

hiromu doesnt… yet…

boner soldier is holding on to it for him.

Well he took the belt with him

>>132954

Hiromu is injured. All active members hold belts.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if (assuming Hiromu comes back from injury around New Beginning) they have an "LIJ holding the gold" moment.

main main event folks, say your goodbyes to cucky omega

Fuck me im going to have to watch this later non live. Fuck my internet man.

Main event time BOYS LETSS GO ACE

Undertale Kenny?

>>132960

yeah he did a collab with their creator, and undertale is huge in japan

I'm not going to miss the bullshit BTE politics and dumb shit like that, but fuck you guys I'm gonna actually miss Kenny's ring work.

terminator entrance was kenny's only good entrance

This is what "oldtimers" meant when they say new wrestlers are fucking nerds

>>132964

they arent wrong

>>132960

that's how you know he's a real shitter

>>132964

Never said they are.

>>132962

The meta behind the scenes shit is horrible but I am gonna miss kenny and the bucks too, especially how they were as a unit back in 2016 and 2017. Hopefully he goes out with a bang

>>132964

As someone who normally bitches and moans about the death of psychology and weakening of the product, many wrestlers have been fucking nerds since at least the 80s. All that changed was dumb carny gimmicks becoming dumb comic book gimmicks becoming dumb edgy gimmicks becoming dumb digital gimmicks. Dumb gimmicks be dumb, but it isn't new.

>>132969

Not about gimmicks, but personalities in general.

>fucking razer pants

>>132970

Eh, a lot of the generation that now complains that modern wrestlers are fucking nerds (which they are) were deep into comic culture or whatever pop culture they latched onto. Again, I don't think its wrong, and I personally find it is fucking awesome 1 time out of 10 and cringeworthy the other 9, I just don't think this is a new experience. Dumb shit is eternal in a freakshow.

>>132962

i'm not, he's fucking annoying. good fucking riddance.

>>132973

tanahashi is a kamen rider nerd and he's not autistic about it like kenny is. once in a while he'll change his hairstyle to something that references the show and that's it. even if his pose is just straight up kamen rider kabuto's pose he's not an autistic nerd about it that makes all his moves' names into pop culture references. Kenny could die tomorrow and I wouldn't give a shit.

>>132974

Puts on good matches when Elite shit isn't involved, annyoing as fuck when it is. Knows how to work a crowd. I'd say if you saw Bucks and Cody go away and Kenny stay with Page, Kota, Chase and Yujiro it would be a lot more tolerable.

>>132975

Agree to disagree. Again, I found the entrance kinda cringeworthy, but I also found the Terminator entrance cringeworthy and while I love KUSHIDA I find the Back To The Future shit cringeworthy, but everybody eats those things up because it is 80s film references and that is mainstream cool these days. I like how Tana does it, I actually like Kenny's theme borrowing heavily from FFVII, if he kept it at that and move names it would be a thousand times better. I just feel that people have gotten way too far into bashing a gimmick because he is the one who does it, while ignoring equally dumb shit from other guys because it isn't in vogue to shit on them.

To get back on topic, fun match so far, doesn't feel as good as Kenny or Tana's previous WK appearances though, it feels they don't have the chemistry with each other that they each have with Naito, Okada et al.

Okay, now a story is starting to form around the knee. We can do something with this now.

Tana makes the best Dragon Screws

Thats a nakamura and a styles homage this show

God this story is great

Tana's asscrack exposed to all

>>132983

Nah, I think the pacing is ok

>>132983

Tana and Kenny rarely feel like they have synergy. I am trying to think to G1 bouts in the past, and they have had really good performances against each other, but no "great" matches come to mind for me.

I think that >>132984 is correct, and I like both the story of the match and the performances of both involved, but it feels like it is missing something.

>>132983

>>132984

the pacing is fine yeah

>>132985

This is the first time Tana and Omega ever feuded, right ?

>>132987

First feud as far as I can remember, they have met in G-1 in the past but this is the first proper feud. I just feel like this is a bit like Jay White vs Tana, two very good wrestlers, who work well in other matches, putting in a good performance but leaving the match lacking something.

GO ACE

>>132961

>>132966

I knew about the video and collab, just wasn't sure about his new music and outfit. And you also know he's a shitter if he uses gay Razer shit to play Undertale.

And the eternal rule of Wrestle Kingdom continues as the ace of the company holds the belt at the end of the night.

>>132986

>>132985

>>132984

every move just feels extremely predictable and they spent too much time lying down for my liking. Like this was the only match today where i let a snooze out.

>>132991

To be fair, you seemed set up to not like one of the competitors. I actually get what you are coming at, the match felt like it lacked chemistry, but I wouldn't call the sort of selling you see just about every Wrestle Kingdom main even being "too much time lying down".

Being frank, we were spoiled with Okada Omega and Okada Naito, the match was good, but I felt a bit empty at the end, which I really shouldn't for Tana's 8th reign.

>>132983

nigga ospreay vs ibushi was slower than expected

Now we wait for Naito's title reign at Dominion

4/5 best i can do

>>132992

yeah i hate kenny and i'm neutral on tanahashi.

but i already knew he was gonna win since the elite are leaving NJPW anyways so it wasn't like I could get excited or some suspense for the result.

Final score of WrestleKingdom 13 ?

I give it a 8/10

I really loved the match. Great story telling. Also, I wasn't sure what will happen, even though Kenny is due for contract talks, I still have no idea if there was any pre-agreements or anything. Also, I think I was begging for a good match after that godawful Cody match. That was a pure dud. The Jericho and Naito match got me hype again and the Tanahashi Omega match blew away my expectations.

>>132997

thats fair, nothing bad but nothing stood out to me as great (a couple of matches could have been but they got cut short)

>>132998

Same, I'm so happy my guy won.

Personal autism rankings

>Gauntlet

Solid opener but miss the rumble. 6/10

>NEVER

Solid match, hope that Ibushi isn't fucking dead. 8/10, as close to a 9 as it can get.

>Junior Tag Belts

5 men I like in the match yet 5/10 is the best I can do. Felt rushed.

>British HebyQ

Solid match, entertaining from both competitors and a finish that still felt like a surprise even though it makes perfect sense from a meta perspective. 8/10, might be a 7 on another viewing.

>Tag belts

Good match but felt rushed like the Junior tag belts. Should not have been a triple threat (this applies to the junior belts too), but I feel like the teams worked it better. 6/10

>US HebyQ

Solid match from Juice, solid if unspectacular from Cody. 7/10, but barely.

>Junior HebyQ

Didn't feel it, if I'm honest. In a reverse of the pommy belt this might reverse on another viewing. 7/10. but might be 8 on reviewing.

>Okada vs White

Match of the night for me, both for the impact the result will have on both characters and the company, and for the quality of the match itself. 9/10, can't give it a perfect score as it still felt like it was missing something, but I can't tell what

>IC belt

Strong match, felt more like the main event in many ways. 8/10 and Naito could arguably shit talk Tana and Kenny. Hope we see Jericho again, but not sure if he is busy planning more cruises.

>HebyQ

Two very strong competitors putting on a good athletic performance, but failing to get me into the spirit of the match. 7/10, hurts to say it but it really felt worse than NEVER, Pom HebyQ, IC and Okada/White.

Great show and I appreciate that it was only like 4 hours minus preshow. Not excited for tana's reign unless it leads to him vs shibata but a great match to close the night. Worried about okada though, he probably should've won and I'm still not sold at all on jay white as a next big guy.

>>133002

Okada and White was too short for me. I still have to see more from Switchblade other than his gimmick and being a good heel.

>>133004

I think it's why I liked this Wrestle Kingdom better than last year's. The two main events blew me away. Story telling was on point.

Wrestle Kingdom 12 may have had a better undercard, but the main event was a big let down. I just feel Naito can only have good chemistry with certain people and his chemistry with Okada isn't good. Even his selling from this year's match with Jericho was a bit inconsistent, but the rest of the match made up for it.

>>133005

Naito had a showing, and I've been anxious for him and Tanahashi going into this.

>>132999

After too many horrible WWE shows and missing the World Tag League entirely, an 8/10 show feels like the best fucking show possible

>>133006

Yeah, Naito stepped up thankfully as well as Tana, despite the wear and tear. The Ace deserves some rest and any surgeries needed to repair injuries.

10 match card

8 title changes

Is Russo booking these gooks now?

Took a look at the times for each matches, man some of these matches were criminally short and needed to be longer. In particular both Jr. Heavyweight matches, the heavyweight tag match and Okada vs White should have gone on a little longer. Comparing with WK12 and WK11, overall the matches were shorter.

Anyway though I still really enjoyed the show, the best matches being the opener and main event. Golden lovers btfo but they really were the most invested matches. Naito vs Jericho was good, probably Jericho's best match in NJPW since he came back. Okada vs White was good but could have gone longer as I said. Man it's incredible that simply bringing back Okada's old theme and attire could generate such hype and even tell a such a story. Jay winning became such a surprise, shock of the night, at this point I might even peg Jay White to win the G1 climax this year.

See you tomorrow at New Year's Dash.

>>133011

>ishii/naito for new beginning

I'll add the set-up for Naito going for the Heavyweight belt at Dominion

>Collaboration with other promotions?

Inb4 collab with AEW and the elitefags are back just for a big show like Wrestle Kingdom.

Sold more seats, attendance recorded was 38,162 while last year the total attendance was 43,000 but only 34,995 paid to be there, so a lot of free seats or so last year but still a lot for a Thursday show. Probably helped that the show was on a Friday this time, WK10 & WK11 were on weekdays and had like 25,000 while WK8 & WK9 being on weekends got over 35,000. The 2 day event next year is probably done to capitalize on both weekend days. Hopefully that is just for 2020 and doesn't begin a trend, I dont think a 2 day show would work if not on a weekend, also it already seems difficult to fill up the card, personally I wouldn't want to ALWAYS see a 2 day Wrestle Kingdom either, too much really. Wrestlemania would benefit more from a 2 day show than Wrestle Kingdom really.

New Year's Dash in an hour, anyone watching?

>>133040

Nah, all good cobber. Being fair, all three members of the other team are juniors, Rocky never moved up, that was Baretta.

>>133042

That's what I mean dude.

Also, I've learned of nip Dave Meltzer, not nearly as autistic.

>>133043

Yeah, it is literally a juniors vs heavyweights match. Either they are laying the seeds for one or both to move up, or we already know the result.

Reminder that Rocky pinned Izuka on Road to Tokyo Dome show
