the san jose show as i noted in the op will be streamed on world but geolocked to japanese ips. the legal way to watch outside of japan is ppv. all regular domestic shows are on world, collab shows like the 2022-2023 x NOAH shows are the exception.

the one i thought was bullshit was doing the STRONG korakuens as PPVs.

It certainly feels like it, though I'd be happy for someone with more knowledge of the situation to explain why it's Actually Not That Bad

yeah losing their top guy is really loving bad. nakamura was incredibly over but was decidely number 3 in the pecking order and never even challenged for the heavyweight belt during the br era.

yes this might gice them a needed kick to push new people but its a lot easier to do so when the company feels healthy and you have more than 1 really over established top line guy to do so.

those aren't nearly as important as the ic title 6 six years ago but still i'm gonna be pissed if he just walks without dropping them.

at least let fujita beat ishii as they desperately need to build new stars if okada won't job

Thauros
Jan 29, 2003

yep. i get the point broight up in a discord that the crowd would've rejected fujita beating okada but either let him beat ishii or have a loving clear plan to elevate which i jsut don't trust they have rn.

I can see why they wanted him to get a nice moment in front of Korakuen but I do think it would have been better to lose the titles rather than vacating them. It's gonna take awhile to get those titles feeling important again.

the nakamura stuff eight loving years ago left a bad taste in my mouth as naito echoed years later

If he wanted a nice moment in Korakuen he should've not left. You go out on your back. It didn't even need to be Okada being pinned by Fujita, have him put over Mad Mikey, he had a cracking 2023 AND has already washed out of WWE.

I can't decide what would make me madder, Okada puts over no one on this tour & takes no pinfalls, or Okada puts over only Tana.

it's not even "gently caress you for leaving" but they NEED to start establishing new guys. let him beat ishii as original tmdk holds okada back at least that mightve gone over better.

seven people have held the heavyweight title in it's current lineage. four of them are gone, one has been relegated to the midcard, and one is SANADA. naito is literally the only made tdome main event level guy they have seince tana hasn't been pushed at that level in a while. you need guys to make guys
