It drew big numbers, you said they couldn't draw shit. Sure they don't draw as well in other countries, but they are BIG in Japan. Hence New Japan. I get that you're all talking worldwide stardom. But even in WWE the only people that are universally known are Cena and MAYBE Orton. Fucking Roman is a nobody. Oh and they bought out AJ, Finn, and Shinsuke? Yeah hate to break it to ya but only really AJ was considered a top star for the last few years. Shinsuke was going the old vet route, and Finn was just an upper mid carder that got usurped by AJ. Not knocking these guys but they were obviously not the top stars like Okada and Tanahashi at that time, maybe AJ but just a maybe. Hell, even when they left, New Japan still managed to fill those spots easily with Kenny and Naito.

>It drew big numbers, you said they couldn't draw shit.
How big? Is it anywhere near "THEY'RE OUT-PROFITING WWE AND KICKING THEIR ASSES AND DRAWING THEM OUT OF BUSINESS" big? That's the feel that I get from most NJPW fans, they think that this little thing on the other side of the world is somehow driving the American market to the ground.
>I get that you're all talking worldwide stardom. But even in WWE the only people that are universally known are Cena and MAYBE Orton. Fucking Roman is a nobody.
The Maharaja has about 1.3 billion fans. I'd say that's pretty well known. Also Sheamus, Cesaro because international audience. Trips because he's Trips. Undertaker. BROOOOOOCK LEEEEEESNAAAAR. Big Show, Jeff Hardy, Kane, might as well include Matt Hardy as well…
>Hell, even when they left, New Japan still managed to fill those spots easily with Kenny and Naito.
All I know was that NJ people online were bitching about WWE poaching AJ, Shitsuke, Luke and Anderson and that KENTA guy. If they weren't big guys there it was exaggerated misinformation that I heard.

No it's not as big as WWE but it's still a decent draw, I'd say it's basically WCW when it started catching some fire over there which is basically not an indy show.
>The Maharaja has about 1.3 billion fans.
lol that's why the smackdown shows are drawing so well
>Also Sheamus, Cesaro because international audience.
Yes, Swiss and Ireland. What great drawing power. I'm sure everyone knows who the fuck Cesaro is!
>Trips and Undertaker
What shows do you see them main eventing anymore? They're both basically retired. Hell Taker stopped appearing on weekly shows a long time ago, same with Trips.
>Lazer
True forgot about this one but he's leaving so they're fucked. Also, he's only really famous because of going to UFC.
>Big Show
Who the fuck buys tickets/ppvs for the fucking Big Slow? This isn't fucking 2000, and even then he wasn't that much of a draw compared to fucking Rock and Haitch.
>Jeff Hardy, Kane, might as well include Matt Hardy as well…
You know damn well, they aren't a drawing power either. Especially after WWE killed any momentum either of them had. Jeff WAS a draw in 2009, but that's it. In 2009. Like I said only Cena and maybe Orton.
>All I know was that NJ people online were bitching about WWE poaching AJ, Shitsuke, Luke and Anderson and that KENTA guy.
Oh AJ was and Shinsuke a bit, but they were still easily replaceable. Hell, Luke and Anderson were just replaced with the G.O.D.. I can also tell you don't know what you're talking about when you mentioned fucking KENTA.

They are. They sold out in almost every store across the country. NJPW's biggest thing holding it back stateside is A) Timing of live events, and B) Securing a larger platform. Whether they can find a way to overcome these issues will be seen, but it starts by moving off of axs to a bigger network, possibly fox sports if rumors are true
