Japanese fans on multiple blogs came together to vote on their favorite promotions of 2012. Users could vote for their top 3, and scores were based on First place: 10 points Second Place: 6 points Third Place: 3 points quote:Here's the top 10: PWG is more popular in the Japanese IWC than NOAH is. I'm not surprised that DDT and BJW did so well, because they both offer something completely unique and have a great variety of events. DDT won second place by a massive landslide, but NJPW rightfully earned double the amount of points second place did. Joshi promotion WAVE~ came in 7th place, ranking only slightly less popular than the WWE and slightly more popular than comedy promotion Osaka Pro. Similarly, they also voted for their MVP (Wrestler of the Year) quote:1. Kazuchika Okada 1363 points The list continues, as the most popular female ranked at #15 (Mio Shirai) and the first WWE star to appear on the list was CM Punk at #13. Tag-Teams of the Year: quote:1. GET WILD 881 points And finally, Match of the Year quote:1. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Minoru Suzuki (NJPW 2012-10-08) 647 points The first NA match to appear on the list was Undertaker vs Triple H from Wrestlmania (Tied for 18th place). The first female to show up was a match between Great Sasuke and Kyoko Inoue in 30th place. RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Mar 13, 2013 |

quote:6. MASADA vs. Jun Kasai (Freedoms 2012-08-27) 122 points God yes, so happy to see this match get recognition. Every time someone says "hardcore wrestling has no psychology at all" I want to show them that match.

coconono posted:grats you just bought a tape library. I don't see how they're going to overtake NJPW in a year when NJPW actually has something resembling a global strategy in place. Out of morbid interest what is NJPW global strategy and how has their resurgence been noticeable (really high non papered Dome shows)? Sorry I've just been out of the Japanese wrestling loop for awhile and I'm trying to get back into what's going on...also did I read somewhere the Don "Douglas Gordon" is having a match soon? Also not to wish this on IVP, but how has he avoided grief from Japanese groups considering he has physical and digital services of things within days of airing and NJPW even has their own US streaming service. I'm kind of surprised he's never gotten a C&D, then again the only group that was big on it was DSE products (I know Jeff Lynch got one over Pride videos) Marshal Prolapse fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Mar 14, 2013 |

New Japan's global strategy: 1. UStream iPPVs to 500 people outside Japan 2. Maybe English commentary some day? 3. English website? 4. Overtake WWE

I'm honestly surprised Wave was anywhere on there considering I never hear anything about it I guess and if you wanted a pretty girls promotion Stardom's actually pretty good. Maybe being one of the few places where Kana still seems to get regular bookings helps I guess? And I wouldn't really consider Osaka Pro a comedy promotion in the same way you wouldn't consider Chikara a comedy promotion (which is an apt comparison given the relationship Chikara and Osaka Pro have and the fact Quack quite obviously modelled Chikara after it mixed with New Gen era WWF).

coconono posted:better than AJPW's plan: When Bushiroad took over NJPW their plan sounded unfeasible too. AJPW might end up a huge mess, but I don't think that AJPW's public strategy was any some barn burner. NJPW lit a rocket under a surprising mega talent, booked great shows and had stellar matches and had iPPV skyrocket. Maybe AJPW can put on a bunch of good shows and have people buy them too.

Funaki is great in All Japan, but it's like watching 2007 WWE where they have every single one of their eggs in one basket. At least New Japan is rapidly building stars. Okada is the most popular wrestler in Japan and Nakamura seems to be pretty drat popular to the US internet crowd.

New Japan's Japanese facebook page linked to this (still under construction!) today: http://www.njpw.co.jp/english/gfanikf posted:Also not to wish this on IVP, but how has he avoided grief from Japanese groups considering he has physical and digital services of things within days of airing and NJPW even has their own US streaming service. I'm kind of surprised he's never gotten a C&D, then again the only group that was big on it was DSE products (I know Jeff Lynch got one over Pride videos) they probably don't even know. Most of those shows are produced for a super-niche satellite/cable channel, it's only the iPPVs that are also available for the U.S. market. The most recent New Japan Cup 1st round was only on Samurai! TV, for example. As well, Japan is pretty simple-minded and ignorant about a lot of these sorts of things -- and would probably care a lot more about people in Japan pirating the materials. Hell, last fall Japan introduced legislation to make it illegal as a criminal offense (not just a civil offense) to download things. There haven't been many arrests yet, but most of those have been stuff which has a Japanese copyright -- and, from what I've heard, Japanese equivalents to Limewire are still the go-to for most movie/music pirates. So I guess it's one part they don't know, one part they're more worried about the domestic market more than international.

quote:USA “STARGATE 2013”, 28/03/2013 This is one of the reasons that Sanshiro Takagi runs one of the biggest Pro Wrestling companies in Japan. I'm not sure if Takagi is directly running this promotion as well, but he has a big hand in Union, and DDT is one of the most fun wrestling companies to watch in the world.

How popular is US pro wrestling in Japan anyway? For example, how would Cena's name recognition compare to Tanahashi's? The less serious puro feds seem to have tons of references to US wrestlers and angles.

Looking forward to KikuMan Randy Savage. Really looking forward to how the gently caress they're gonna build something that looks like an Elimination Chamber but also fits into Shin-Kiba and leaves room for more than 10 fans.

They could just fit it around the width of the ring and leave about a closet's worth of space for the wrestlers in between the chamber pods. That's certainly an interesting card though. 10th Wonder of the World huh? I bet somebody would be home to answer the phone if they called....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbJex8t34K8 Some guy from /wooo/ is going to start translating Puro stuff. Mostly packages. Still won't help you understand a goddamn thing happening in DDT. Speaking of, Takagi's USA promotion just gets stranger: quote:USA has struck a partnership deal with the AV company Idea Pocket. Part of the deal involves Idea Pocket presenting their own match for USA’s first show. It’s becoming very clear at this point that USA will not be a PG promotion. All I can gather is the match will be between “Val Venis” and “The Godfather”. Judging by the translation, it sounds like there are going to be a harem of Val Venises and a ho train of Godfathers taking part in the match. With their first card looking like this: 1. Hall of Fame Ceremony 2. USA World Tag Team Titles: “Hulk Hogan” & “Ultimate Warrior” (c) Vs A Tag Team From The Middle East 3. IC Title – 10th Wonder Of The World: “Chyna” (c) Vs “Eddie Guerrero” 4. $10,000 Backbreaker Challenge 5. Idea Pocket Presents – ALL or NOTHING: “Val Venis” Vs “The Godfather” 6. Japan’s First Elimination Chamber Match: “Big Show” Vs “Goldust” Vs “John Cena” Vs “CM Punk” The card will take place Thursday, and I cannot wait to hear what kind of crazy nonsense happens. The wrestlers will all be played by DDT & Union wrestlers, under the guise of these characters. The event will have both English AND Spanish announce teams!

I asked him to do a rough translation of a promo that I loved seeing for the first time, although I could only follow half of it. It was the pre-match promo between Dansoku Dino vs Bob Sapp, featuring Dino reluctant to wrestle for some reason. Here is the promo quote:The point is basically that Dino is afraid of wrestling Bob and he needs to ravage someone's rear end in a top hat (yes, you read that correctly) before the match. It's a huge problem for Amon (the afroed GM), since he has been ensuring that Sapp doesn't pull out from the match. Dino RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Mar 25, 2013 |

I apologize for saying that we were judging the AJPW owner too soon and NJPW sounded pretty ridiculous early on with talk of competing with WWE and such. The new AJPW owner is totally batshit. He decided to declare that pro wrestling needs to change and stop rigging matches. Obviously he's not going to do that, but just saying that is so dumb.

I was with you on this at the beginning as well since I figured some of the trash talk might be part of an angle as interpromotional feuds are fairly common in Japan, bu yeah, the guy really just seems to be an rear end. Shame, since while following one major Japanese fed is enough for me healthy competition would probably be good for the industry.
