Think they really hurt their goodwill when they didn't offer refunds when they didn't send any Japanese wrestlers over in January.
Maybe don't run ROH house shows with some njpw guys thrown instead of an authentic njpw show??
Melodically it sounded okay but it needs a female rock vocalist instead of "well my sister did musical theater!". Lyrics seemed a little cringey too.
Still hoping Kenny comes through instead of all Downstait/Papa Buck.
Ehh I like it, I liked the answer message if that's what you were referring to, might have gone a little hard on it but I generally liked it
I enjoyed it in NJPW because he was basically the "you see what happens Larry???" scene from Big Lebowski

He just seems like a podcast dork in AEW so far even if it's coming from the same place
Gonna laugh if the 5 names are just the 5 euro folks cycling around the weekend anyways. CCK, Aussie Open, etc
Jim Johnston is desperately needed.
Make the fucking call, Tony.
Yeah, horrendous
I don't even think the Britt one is terrible or anything outside of the clips of her not hitting the note
Blessed you. To witness the best match of 2019 live.
Also the downfall of West!!!
Their entrance is going to be something else!
Don't you dare turn on Yuu!
Pom face would make for a really creepy lamp.
I'm just proud of the dude for still hanging in there in the wrestling scene.
Thought he would have been done and gone by now. Good for him, always thought he was a rock solid big guy.
You guys can't possibly believe NJPW didn't sell well because of a lack of Kenny Omega and not because wrestling isn't that popular and trying to sell 20K seat arenas in the middle of Texas when there is nothing else going on is a bad idea
You're really going to say this when The Bucks, Omega and Cody just recently sold over 10k again?
I absolutely believe The Elite would have made a difference. How much, I'm not sure but fucking better than this probably.

Wouldn't it be amazing if the origin that we all know of the word kayfabe turned out to be fake?
NJPW low tickets sales in the USA is not a single issue, but a combination of many factors:
The most obvious one being the departure of The Elite (you can see how bad it has affected RoH when they used to sell around 1k+ for their small events and now they can hardly break 500).
Then we have:
The most obvious one being the departure of The Elite (you can see how bad it has affected RoH when they used to sell around 1k+ for their small events and now they can hardly break 500).
Then we have:
- Really expensive tickets, almost like a WWE PPV. Compared to DoN it is really expensive.
- NJPW fans being burned thanks to the amount of shows and lacking cards. NJPW fans are probably taking a wait and see approach because of the way how NJPW announces their cards (basically we are not going to know about this card until July).
- The hype for NJPW is a bit lower with all the departures and changes they had to make. Then, the new wrestlers they have hired are not going to help their USA expansion.
- Their USA expansion strategy has been a mess. NJPW fans (not to be confused with The Elite /exBC fans) wanted the Japanese experience, not this mixes of RoH-NJPW shows. In paper, this should be that card, but by now no one is completely sure.
Agreed completely
Only the casual fans thought the Elite all leaving at once would have no noticeable effect (and I don't feel bad for New Japan or ROH regarding it especially when they both had time to prepare for such a situation), and it was obviously going to be a big deal
But any one of these problems was going to be noticeable, all of them at once (plus coming off a visa situation they could have handled the aftermath of better)? Even a G1 show here wasn't going to be enough to overcome all that
AEW has a lot more leverage now in any planned negotiations for a partnership eventually. New Japan and the diehards who wanted to believe everything would be fine pre-and-post-giving Kenny the belt and then watching him leave altogether may not have wanted to acknowledge it at first, but it's getting harder to ignore
WWE is stealing AAA bad Triplemanias thunder:
AAA is doing tv-tapings in my city, if Rey de Reyes delivers I will probably go:

I wanted NJPW to ditch ROH for AEW the second the rumors of the Elite starting their own promotion surfaced. Hopefully it's just the issue of waiting out the joint events and not NJPW feeling some kind of displaced loyalty to ROH. ROH has benefitted way more from the partnership overall.
Yes, actually. You're crazy if you think Kenny Omega is a 20,000 seat draw if AEW were running a show in Dallas in the middle of July.
Wrestling isn't popular.
No idea how Natsu got through that promo without laughing, that and the post-match promo were amazing. Hazuki has Natsuko beat in the worst corpser in Stardom standings.
THAt show was built on so much damn hype it's not a direct comparison
It seems a lot like it's this unfortunately
Sorry friend anth0ny and all my other New Japan friends, yall deserved better than this
