I have never really seen Japanese Wrestling outside of a few YouTube videos, but this sounds interesting and I do like Jim Ross - is this the japanese company with the razor ramon hard gay guy and also the guy in the freaky japanese mask that kind of looks like a sex doll?

Oh and is this the company with the sex doll?

no, that'd DDT, this is the one with the guys dropping each other on their heads a lot

I remember reading a report from WON or PWT that said that West had read a large chunk of negative feedback TNA was getting for their PPV's, and determined that some of them HAD to be plants. Now, if Russo said this, I'd chalk it up to ego.

But with West, I feel like it was genuine, childlike enthusiasm for the product. The guy quite frankly deserves better than TNA.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

DDT Pro has the sex doll and the homosexual who molests other males

HUSTLE is the one with the bondage guy, his name is Hard Gay and he's a sort of TV celebrity in Japan.

West and Tenay were absolutely the best thing in TNA. Regardless of how dumb anything was, they would try 100% to bluff it out and talk it up.

Let's not get crazy. Don West was a guy who was very fun at times, very passionate and a great salesman. Most of the time his commentary was like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyJU8As8hyQ

Terrible acting with awkward delivery. He shouldn't be calling the Tokyo Dome.

Does Jarrett even have a match on the card any more with Yoshi's injury? If not I could see him saving a few bucks by doing colour.

Yeah I have enough friends that are interested enough in the product and it's going to be a lot easier to introduce them to it via the English PPV than NJPWWorld, so I'm going to be doing that.

Big Dave said that Jeff Jarrett wants 10-12,000 buys for Tokyo Dome. He talked about it and the NJPW TV show on AXS on Saturday's Sin Limite. He thinks that NJPW World will hurt the buyrate but not critically because the market for the English PPV is people who don't watch NJPW, not NJPW diehards.

I'm all for anything that will expand the fanbase, but I seriously doubt that many people who are currently unfamiliar with the product are going to give a new federation with no wrestlers they've heard of outside of possibly AJ Styles a try simply because JR is announcing it.

And even then, AJ is a fairly negligible draw in this context. I mean, he's a name because of TNA. TNA don't do good numbers. And I don't see even most TNA fans buying this show.

Still wish them all the luck in the world if only to make NJPW bigger.

people bought an MMA PPV with 0.25 names on it because JR & Chael Sonnen did play-by-play for it, don't know how many buys it got but there was certainly interest generated on that alone.

That a follow up show with JR and Chael wasn't booked is a pretty good sign it bombed.

Edit: Bombed in the relative sense that the interest they brought didn't translate into enough business to cover their cost. I'm sure the show did more buys on PPV with them than without.
