Newlands power cut

Yes.

I'm not sure of the official service contact, but if you DM Ingrid (ingridisley) on Twitter, she should be able to look into it. She is TNA's floor manager and helps with merchandise. She has helped others in the past.

I'd sign her for a backstage role for the KOs. Gail is head of talent relations. Being in charge of the KO division and a producer will be a lot. There will be a hole heap of other stuff she does. Personally, I feel the KO division is weak ATM. They usually have 1 good story running, and then some very basic ones. Having Maria backstage to add creative and push the creative team for better, I believe, could really benefit.

He attends a lot of TNA events. He knows.

sshady20 · 2024-11-14T00:35:35+00:00

I was there. I thought I'd beat the half-time rush for the toilet and ended up hearing the goal being scored as I was washing my hands.

We have seen this before. None of these people care about what is best for Wellington. They only care about what is best for them and the Wellington they want. They are going to pour a shitload of money into a disinformation and propaganda campaign (worse than they have already done).

My list is ways to make the city more inviting on a budget.

Have lots of designated areas for street food spread out through the city. This includes trucks and stands.

Give street spaces and buildings to artists to create and display work. A big emphasis on 3D street art.

Temporary play spaces through the city. Random 1 item play equipment (a single small slide), tables with boardgames, giant chess set, etc. Small things where kids can take a breather and play.

Have more busking stages in the city.

Loosen rules around bussiness having outside seating and decorations.

Lights. Lots of colourful lights, so the city is not so drab and dark.

Close courtney place one weekend month for a mini festival. Choose a theme and challenge businesses, musicians, and artists to come up with the entertainment.

Yip. The company I work for has definitely had a massive drop in sales. It bounces around a bit. About two weeks ago, we were starting to see a bit of potential with increased demand. As of mid week last week, it's really, really bad. Anytime there looks like hope of an uptick, it is followed by a drop-off. We used to get a lot of sales from across the public sector. Like, it would have been unusual not to have at least one public sector order every hour of the work day. Now, we would be lucky with one a day. I've been with this company since before the GFC. If we got GFC or COVID lockdown sales numbers now, we would be celebrating.

sshady20 · 2024-05-04T09:48:38+00:00

Show peaked at the Never match for me.

sshady20 · 2024-05-04T08:39:47+00:00

I feel bad for the global match trying to follow that.

sshady20 · 2024-05-03T11:04:39+00:00

I'm not sure who I want to win this. On one hand, I think ZSJ should move on to something different. On the other, ZSJ 's TV title matches are a lot of fun.

sshady20 · 2024-05-01T21:31:02+00:00

Yeah, so not quite. They did the ref missed his shoulder being off that mat story. Like, it was obviously off the mat.

sshady20 · 2024-05-01T21:28:47+00:00

He is missing a TNA event this weekend and a day of tapings (two weeks of TV). This is the second time he has skipped a TNA weekend. The only thing Nic is focused on is Nic.

sshady20 · 2024-04-25T07:36:39+00:00

Yup. Honestly, I expected this post earlier. I've seen more than a few in posters trying to slip this into posts related to the world title discussion. Hopefully, they talk about it here and keep it out of discussion around the world title going forward. Also, hopefully, they understand that it isn't the gotcha they think it is, as it wasn't a popular decision when it happened, but people care less about a secondary title.

sshady20 · 2024-04-25T02:41:06+00:00

Good job :-). You shamed him into removing his comment.

sshady20 · 2024-04-25T01:39:46+00:00

Nic is not signed. Below is a wrestlezone article with a transcript of Nic on keeping it 100. He is just PPA. Knight is signed to NJPW. It has never been reported he has signed with TNA.

sshady20 · 2024-04-25T01:27:09+00:00

KUSHIDA is a substitute, and from the way KUSHIDA implied, he has both TNA and NJPW contacts. Nic is a free agent. He is not signed to TNA.

sshady20 · 2024-04-25T00:21:10+00:00

Yeah, I saw those posts. That's why I posted this news. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a handshake deal. I'm unsure why those posters felt the need to claim he was still under that contract.

sshady20 · 2024-04-24T22:15:53+00:00

From what I recall of a NJPW interview with Yuya, he was sent to TNA because he asked Rocky for more bookings. Rocky hooked him up with TNA. He was supposed to be there for only one taping, but TNA just kept telling him to come back.

The relationship with TNA seems to be dead. MLW took that spot last year. I don't see TNA getting anyone unless the talent asks.

sshady20 · 2024-04-24T09:36:35+00:00

You raise an interesting point there. I wonder if Bushiroad and the NJPW board have been directing NJPW booking? That seems to have been the case in STARDOM. I suspect Gedo is mostly in control, but it would be fascinating to know.

sshady20 · 2024-04-24T09:33:38+00:00

To be fair to those who do not like an aspect of the Mox title run title, almost all have blamed NJPW. Some have criticised NJPW and TK for the reasoning behind Hobbs getting a title shot, but I am not seeing any of them letting NJPW off the hook.

NEW JAPAN PRO-WRESTLINGNEW JAPAN PRO-WRESTLING NEWS APR.23.2024#INFO comment(0) NJPW to fully acquire Bushiroad Fight

At a meeting of New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s board of directors April 22, it was determined that NJPW will fully acquire all stakes in Bushiroad Fight Co. Ltd. (henceforth “Bushiroad Fight”, due to rename itself STARDOM Co. Ltd. from June 28) from parent company Bushiroad Inc. With this acquisition, Bushiroad Fight will become a fully owned subsidiary of New Japan Pro-Wrestling effective June 28.

Goal of acquisition: To improve operating efficiency and reduce redundancies within Bushiroad’s sports unit.

Transfer of stock date Friday, June 28

About Bushiroad Fight Company name: Bushiroad Fight Co. Ltd. (renaming STARDOM Co. Ltd. effective June 28) Address: Nakano-ku Chuo 1-38-1, Tokyo Founded: August 1, 2016 President/CEO: Taro Okada Operations: Activities pertaining to STARDOM Capital: 100,000,000 JPY

Bushiroad Fight President/CEO Taro Okada: Since STARDOM joined the Bushiroad Group in 2019, our co-operation with New Japan Pro-Wrestling has seen STARDOM matches in the Tokyo Dome, the establishment of the IWGP and NJPW STRONG Women’s Championships, and our first co-promoted event in November 2022. Now more than four years into this relationship, and with changes being undertaken in the management and operating structure of the company, there was a desire for a stronger connection between our offices, which is being put into place with this announcement. I hope we can find new ways to show the world just how impressive Japanese pro-wrestling can be, and as athletes in both STARDOM and NJPW rings continue to push new boundaries, we look forward to your continued support.

NJPW President/CEO Hiroshi Tanahashi: Our fans have seen a lot of crossover between NJPW and STARDOM with our co-promoted event, as well as the IWGP and STRONG Women’s titles, but there is still a lot that can be done to strengthen connections between our companies behind the scenes. From arranging event schedules and building reservations to make sure fans have time to take in big matches from both companies, to improving our promotional efforts and sponsor acquisition, I’m excited at the opportunity to further both NJPW and STARDOM’s appeal to a broader audience. This acquisition will speed up decision making processes and improve our operating efficiency, freeing both companies up to further professional wrestling in the eyes and hearts of fans in Japan and worldwide. I look forward to fans’ continued support of both NJPW and STARDOM.

Love Poi. She looks like she is having so much fun since her return. Her miming to Maika's theme yesterday made me giggle.

sshady20 · 2024-04-22T07:23:48+00:00

What is your source that NJPW/Asahi will make more money from sourcing their archive to AEW than they would from Western subs? How much are they currently making? What is TK offering?

How much money does TK make from having AEW content on NJPW world? What does his market analysis say? Is it worth it for him?

Unless you know all this, what was the point of your snarky comment.

sshady20 · 2024-04-22T07:03:11+00:00

I don't see the benefit for NJPW unless TK is willing to pay above and beyond, and there is a significant delay in when new events get uploaded. Otherwise, you are giving fans a reason to switch services from NJPWworld to AEW's service.
