Night 5 & 6 started to really pick thing up for the G1 Climax imo, but they gotta stop making TAKA take Ls here
COVID is getting worse again so less people are going out. We are the only ones living in "post" COVIDNight 2 at Budokan (with the semi finals) drawing less than Night 1
Both nights drawing less than 7k people combined
Even if they are working Budokan in a reduced capacity due to Covid (no idea if they tbh), that's still really bad numbers.
I only watched the final and it's my MOTY, amazing match.
Who was in the finals?
Might just catch this last match then
I think a big part of the problem is still the only cheering or jeering the fans are allowed to do is clap. That's got to make you feel ripped off. Makes the broadcasts hard to watch.Night 2 at Budokan (with the semi finals) drawing less than Night 1

Covid restrictions is a factor as to why New Japan's product went to shyt, not doubt, but Night 3 drew 6.7k regardless of them. That tells me fans still care about the big stuff, but NJPW has lost them in terms of interest in the overall product. I mean, it's no surprise considering they've been booking the same fukking shyt for 5 years straight. There was a time they could sell out a big building without even a card and they've evidentially lost all that goodwill. The thing is they have done jackshyt to even try to recover some of it,I think a big part of the problem is still the only cheering or jeering the fans are allowed to do is clap.
