Hmm. I'm not that familiar with All Japan nowadays. Only thing I know of them is that Yoshitatsu and Tajiri are listed on the roster.

Katsuhiko Nakajima and Kento Miyahara are two of the best wrestlers in the world. Apart from Nakajima's habit of concussing people.

In the sense of what the tweet's saying, it's a shame because it honestly sounds like Cole himself was getting into the match.

That is actually a big crowd. If all those people decide to buy tickets and they aren't interested in the wrestling what are they coming for? Like legit?

Or are they into the wrestling but just dont like to cheer?

there are that many people who want to see the inbetween parts? why? Clearly there are less fans of wrestling than there are fans of the inbetween parts but what about these shows makes people want to blow an evening watching that?

Maybe i'll just never understand.

Think about it from the average WWE fans perspective, it's 2 guys who don't matter in the most boring part of the show, the matches. They'll cheer for something real.

Yuma Aoyagi is right up there too.

Honestly, whatever. All Japan has earned the benefit of the doubt with how great 2023 has been. Granted, I'd hoped X was Naoya Nomura returning but I always hope it is Nomura returning.

They've proven themselves a great place for guys to develop, would much prefer if it's Donovan Dijak or Tyler Bate (tbh Bate is probably too small, All Japan likes size) but whatever, Nakajima or Miyahara would get a passable match out of BeePee.

Part that gives me the fear is talent going the other way. Yuma Anzai needs to stay where he is.

I think they just want to see famous people. It's like how Netflix doesn't have to put any effort into their original movies anymore, they just stuff them with enough famous people that hit enough different demographics and it will do huge numbers.

This was the first SD Reigns was advertised for since October and the first show he'd been on since November

It sucks that AJPW is working with NXT because as All Japan is starting to get hot of course WWE is there to make sure it doesn’t last. I hope I’m wrong, but my hopes are not high.

It seemed like there was noise for that segment. Was it piped in? (If it's super obvious don't mind me. I have a bad eye/ear for detail).

Related: you know what? If fans only show up for the big names shouldn't WWE start pivoting from the guy who only shows up once in a blue moon? Not that I'm expecting logic from WWE but...ok yeah it makes perfect sense that they wouldn't.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if part of the problem is that WWE has just trained its audience to stop chanting and cheering so much. They let their chant culture starve by being boring as poo poo for years (and also not having an audience at all for a bit because of pandemics), and now it's hot but people just don't want to cheer even if they think it's cool.

(Insert conversation about how hostile WWE's show structure is to an entertaining live show experience and how that makes the whole "no crowd noise" thing worse here.)

Wasn’t last night’s smackdown the 2nd one of a double taping? If so those people had probably been there for 4+ hours at that point, drank too many $12 Miller Lights, and were dragging pretty hard. Gotta conserve energy for the last match and all

I'll never get that mindset but I know plenty of people who feel that way. I'm watching wrestling so I want to see wrestling and the parts in-between should only exist to set up more wrestling. If I want to see bad sketch comedy I'll just watch old episodes of Mad TV.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
