YOU FUCKED UP
YOU FUCKED UP
YOU FUCKED UP
Noahettys btfo by women
i thought nu jamal was dead
They run a show every day for like 200 people unlike all other promotions.
Doesn't Big Japan try that
This isn't subtracting Bushiroad's papered tickets.
unironically
they have 15 show long tours that sell around 300 tickets on average to each show
then you've got the blow-off in the larger buildings
it adds up
Damn it feels good to be a bushichad
NJPW 2479 avg - 18 shows
Stardom 471 avg - 18 shows
AJPW 399 avg - 10 shows
TJPW 364 avg - 12 shows
Noah 342 avg - 18 shows
Dragon Gate 288 avg - 24 shows
DDT 230 avg - 17 shows
FREEDOMS 200 avg - 5 shows
BJW 149 avg - 28 shows
Ice Ribbon 137 avg - 13 shows
So there's the rough averages and number of shows.
NJPW is the biggest promotion and of course gets a spike from the Dome shows.
Stardom is the biggest women's promotion, but has also run a couple of big shows to start the year. They are doing well outside of Tokyo which is helping them but aren't going past Hyogo. Joshi is joshi though and a completely different beast than men's wrestling.
AJPW has not run too many shows and might be around DG's number if they had run more.
TJPW beating out DDT is interesting and they did it in less shows. DDT runs a lot, plus Ganbare Pro, which I didn't count, is an offshoot of it. They mostly just run Tokyo though and it's easier to draw there.
Noah had like 2 big shows so far which helped up their numbers.
Dragon Gate hasn't run any big shows yet. They may be closer to NOAH if they had. I think it's important to keep in mind with DG that they run non-Tokyo parts of Japan more often than some other groups and they are a little more healthy than they seem.
Most of Ice Ribbon's shows are weekly dojo shows that run the same arena each week. It only holds about 100 people and they are coming off losing 4 of their better roster members.
Big Japan ran some places twice in one day and that brought down their averages. Even without it, they'd still be pretty low. Their roster is really old and stale. They also aren't doing the more interesting deathmatches as much as they used to.
And in case anyone is wondering, Zero-1 has run 3 events this year. We only know 2 of the attendances and they total 675. It's a far cry from back in the day when they had good cards.
who is this generic looking gook?
>NOAH
out of curiosity do you have the NJPW average without the big dome shows?
Looks like without that the Dome shows and the Noah show, it would be around 1,179.
neat, thank you
It's confirmed that Stardom papers attendance for twitter influencers btw
>the joshipedo cope
Then we'd have to do the same for Cyberfight groups and Dragon Gate
Cyberfight is publicly traded so they cant lie about attendance
Bushiroad isn't lying about attendance but they do give away hundreds of free tickets to Stardom shows if you are verified + 10000 followers on Twitter
They outright refuse to give attendance sometimes, including at one point withholding numbers for months. Of course they can and probably do lie.
>they do give away hundreds of free tickets to Stardom shows if you are verified + 10000 followers on Twitter
Is their any proof of this or this just something that you're sating because you want to?
The absolute state of CyberFight
Horrible numbers
