IceAgeComing posted:Nothing on who is behind it other than a 'former Bushiroad executive' with an 'ex-Stardom wrestler' being involved. The Stardom side apparently know nothing about this: Tokyo Sports only what the American press is reporting so it doesn't seem to be something that's making waves there. The former Bushiroad executive feels like they could be involved if they are planning an anime given Bushiroad's strategy of using anime to promote its mobage/card games/stage plays. But than also you'd think they'd look at the fact that Bushiroad hasn't made an anime for New Japan or Stardom (just had talent do some guest spots) as to why it wouldn't be the best idea

She probably has a legit beef with the media and Rossy but throwing the modern Joshi scene probably isn't going to make her many friends especially if WWE goes talent hunting again. And also it's not like her vision for Joshi wasn't without issues as well

The anime side of things maybe makes me think they could have a Kadakowa or another mobile game company like Cygame or NetEase spending some money in case it's a hit but than I think if they were involved we'd either have something leaked about that Probably a money mark/laundering yeah...though with the writers strike I could see it maybe attracting some low level TV/streaming exec into thinking they're getting a combination of the next AEW/Shonen Jump hit

It's kinda of telling that beyond a few cameo's in the odd Bushiroad anime/mobage Bushiroad itself hasn't done an anime of Stardom/New Japan so I'm doubting the connection And even if it's their most US led anime projects are...usually not good

Anime Josh Lucha underground sure is decision given how Lucha Underground didn't end up working but I'll probably watch the first show to see how it works. And hey I don't mind big home run swings cause if it does work it'll stand out way more Just like get an actual anime studio to do the anime bits so they don't look like How to Draw Manga/Anime level bad

yea ok posted:it's very ambitious that's for sure Yeah it's either gonna be a big hit or crash and burn spectacularly and I kinda of appreciate it for trying something like that instead of something that would just end up being around

With that number of tickets they 100% expect to make their money on TV/streaming which on one hand is a huge gamble but OTOH with the writers strike they may just get on TV

You figure with them going anime they'd maybe lean into what Vtubers do to make money but nope...

Apparently not only was Chigusa Nagayo's West Coast Pro match her final match in the US but it was her final match period.

Yeah given the reach of Abema plus the value having a New Japan show on the services gives I doubt we're gonna any kind of war or heat (especially given the state of the business) Also lamo that line up sure is underwhelming and Rossy going full All Japan Woman for the dojo is something

Chinston Wurchill posted:Gonna take them down to the ACL ranch. If WWE really put money into this I'd expect they'd use the NXT name and probably would want its show on Netflix and not on service that owns a competitor. I imagine the extent of stuff agreed to is that Guilia is gonna work some dates and maybe some other talent might do a date or two but nothing more. It just doesn't make financial sense for WWE to spend money on this Which is gonna make it funny if it doesn't do well and Rossy is using his own money/laundering other money

Given the numbers WWE does on Abema running Tokyo Dome would be crazy
