Stall_19 posted:Cool I was curious about how other events in Japan were doing. Seems like everything is down but wrestling more so than other major sports. Njpw has gone from about 55 % of ticket sales from the big 7 promotions to about 48%. Bushiroad however is around 63 % in 2022. They are quite good at promoting pro wrestling They are in a pretty strong position with njpw starting to get some decent growth this year. Ajpw got absolutely ruined by the pandemic. They were doing ok in 2019 relative to the other not njpw promotions. Even accounting for less shows they have had a lot of momentum snuffed out DDT has been struggling for a long time. They've not actually grown under cyberagent. Sure a lot of that has been during the pandemic but they are clearly less relevant now than basically ever Burn Down Canberra fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Aug 24, 2022 |

It really is absurd how few shows All Japan have been running relative to their 2019: 139 shows in one year compared to 154 since the no fan era began about 2 & a half years ago. They've retreated to almost a Tokyo metro area show at this point, albeit with an appearance in Nagoya & Osaka every 2nd tour. Haven't made it to Kyushyu since September last year, they did go to Hokkaido this year. And yet they have outdrawn New Japan in Korakuen quite a few times. This is do know: if Kento gets hurt for a year I'd dread to imagine how the company survives

Maya Fukuda rules. She's one of my favourite underdogs in wrestling and her feud with Chihiro is incredible monster vs rookie wrestling. AWG wins again.

I absolutely love they just put this match together because someone went "we've got Hayato Tamura, & hey, here's 2 guys who each have part of his name as their name!"

Considering how great their tenderised chests look after chop exchanges, with the reddening, you'd think more wrestlers would forgo the tanning & go for the pasty white look

This is my first time watching GLEAT and I'm enjoying the show despite not being familiar with the performers, the three-way that just ended was a blast.

Dan Tamura & Rising HAYATO are both All Japan guys, Hayato Tamura is a GLEAT guy who started with TAKA Michinoku's Just Tap Out group before quickly graduating to ZERO1 & now he's in GLEAT & is cool & good.

Kayfabe wise, Bulk Orchestra might be the dumbest collection of people in pro wrestling. (out of kayfabe it's almost certainly United Empire between Ospreay, TJP, and Henare)

Quiet Storm has a Bible verse over his junk, that's an interesting aesthetic choice. I have a real soft spot for Quiet Storm, even if it makes me sad he doesn't yell STORM CRADLE DRIVER like he did 20 years ago on US indies

It's really hard to decide what the weirdest entrance is when crowds can't cheer but it's definitely between Tetsuya Naito, Jun Kasai and Kento Miyahara

I've watched so much Kento in the past 2 years that I'm honestly really used to the no cheer reaction to his entrance even if at home I'm screaming KENTO KENTO in my head

Kento is such a great guy to put in with younger guys. He's a very giving ace, made Izuchi look great hanging with him.
