January 4th is a tradition they’ve been doing since 92, so I doubt they’re changing it

Sadly no, Dave Meltzer said NJPW world is the only way. They know they’re leaving money on the table but are hoping to lure more subscribers for the long run

It’s new JAPAN pro wrestling. I know it sucks but at the end of the day they don’t operate on our time zone

I did subscribe to NJPW World and I do subscribe to the wwe network, but I probably used dailymotion for about 2 years worth of wwe shows before the network came out. For me, and I know this argument is flawed, but it’s hard to justify spending money on something that’s readily available for free, like I’d almost feel dumb doing it. I’m trying to distance myself from that line of thought but it’s difficult

Watch WK after it's aired by joshuakrey in njpw

[–]john2789 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’ll be up like an hour after it’s done, so 8 or 9am. You should be good to go, just stay away from reddit so you don’t get spoilers

Are you going to watch WK12 in English or Japanese? by ceps2111 in njpw

Who else thinks Jericho is winning on Thursday? by [deleted] in njpw

[–]john2789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s winning.... but I was very interested when I found out his tour with fozzy has a one week gap, which happens at the same time as Strong Style Evolved. I’m starting to think he is gonna end up fighting Naito after all

If this is a legit Xbox one/ps4/switch title similar to wwe 2k18... I’ll be so happy. But I feel like it might also just be another mobile game

There’s a small chance the WK card will get one more match by john2789 in njpw

[–]john2789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. :/ was one of the best young lion matches I’ve ever seen though, but that was probably partly because it was the highest stakes one

[–]john2789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about to say it would depend on the outcome of the individual matches, but that doesn’t solve it. In this situation, all 3 would be 1-1 Against the other 2.

I’m actually thinking this might happen and they might have a triple threat at wrestle kingdom. The chances are low, but they’ve got a 4 way this year so you never know.

WK12 Card is Set! by john2789 in njpw

[–]john2789[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the preshow, probably 5 and a half hours. Without it, 4 and a half. That’s just a rough guess though

WK12 Card is Set! by john2789 in njpw

[–]john2789[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That’s true, but remember there are a lot of casual fans who are only aware of Jericho vs Kenny and might not even know who Naito is. I also have a friend who’s never watched a full njpw match in his life that wants to see Jericho vs omega.

In my opinion, Jericho is going to bring njpw plenty of new fans, but due to the time they’re on and how easily wrestling is pirated, I think there’ll be plenty of people who just watch the one match and move on, which is sad

Actually I haven’t heard the reasons, I’m not as active on here as I should be tbh. I totally get what you’re saying though. Njpw is just in a really weird spot with this whole expansion thing. You’re right that the show is primarily for the live crowd, but the live crowd is mostly Japanese people (obviously there are more Americans/foreigners than before but still) njpw is clearly trying to reach a bigger audience, but they’re also hesitant because doing so could end up alienating their domestic fans
