more hype from who? New Japan fans who shit on anything to do with WWE? HITC is gonna be shit I'm sure but it's got the mainstream appeal totally behind it, just because 10 wrestling-weebs gush over their asian boyfriends doesn't mean the rest of the world does as well, NJPW and wrestling fans in general need to stop being so snarky about a fake sport.

go look up the list of WWE attendance on wikipedia, just one year ago at WrestleMania 32 I bolieve they broke the record for largest attendance that hadn't been BROKEN in 20+ years, a lot of people just don't bother going to regular live shows anymore because they'd rather watch it on Youtube, doesn't mean the company doesn't have millions of consumers daily

I'm not just talking Raw or Smackdown, fucking HOUSE SHOWS are down dude. And oh great, "muh Wrestlemania sells big", you could have turn that around on me and say "muh Tokyo Dome" but you didn't because despite that NJPW is hot right now. NJPW is still a domestic market mostly which is why it's sub space isn't as big as WWE, but WWE is supposed to be this big worldwide phenomenon, right? Then why can't it draw domestically anymore? Why are they losing more subs now? Why are the ratings worse than fucking WCW in fucking 2000? Trust me dude, they've hit a brick wall this year. Mania only sells big because of the Mania name and 32 sold that big because it was in Cowboy Stadium, really not that hard to figure out dude.

I'm sorry, but did evil already lose?
Oh, that's right. The match isn't even over yet. In fact, it's only just beggining. Does not having the lead at the start count as a loss? Is that what you're saying? Because if you're saying that I can assure you that you're wrong. Why would you make this post when the match is still on? Evil is still wrestling right now and he been for how many years now? He's wrestling one of the worst champions in njpw who just happens to have a lead because he's feeding off the energy of wrestling in the main event. But you know what? He still fucking sucks. Evil is one of the best fucking wrestlers in njpw, he went 6-3 last g1 and would of won the g1 if the goto didnt choke. Maybe you should shut the fuck up before you make retarded posts like this. You know why? Because you're going to be embarrassed when evil wins and someone bumps this topic. Oh look at that, okada just stepped out of bounds short of the 1st down when they needed to get one, just like tonga did. Are you a fucking drunk? Are you retarded? Are you autistic? You are a fucking idiot and you should never make a topic on this board again and I'm fucking serious. I almost have a feeling you're the only guy making all these anti-evil posts because you're an autist who doesn't like the team because they're good. Fuck you, be good at something in YOUR life and then maybe try to troll these fucking wrestlers on the board, like I give a fuck. It's so easy to spot out your threads now, you're a retard. Always doing stupid shit like this. Why don't you try to be a good poster? Just for once? For once in your fucking life try not to make a topic like this. That's just you, you're always right at getting it wrong. Fuck you. You are nothing.

If Kenny isn't defending the title at Power Struggle but does it at WK12, then that would only be his 2nd title defense. I don't think he will lose the title at WK12, feels kinda early for him to do it. The US title was made for the American fans so I assume it would appease the crowd for Kenny to successfully defend the title at the Tokyo Dome.
