Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

Yes it will, don't worry breh.

As I said, if you get into the style and love the matches you'll eventually end up in ditch's site and watch everything regardless. But as a first time watcher, that list is more than enough to get a feel at what is going on and catch some of the nuance and callbacks of the big classic matches.

Not sure if Stephen (@stro 's friend Griimas ) and Parv had it in their list but if 3/6/94 is your benchmark, I also recommend watching the 92' and 93' title matches Misawa and Kawada had

Grimmas, that silly bytch

NEW JAPAN SOLD OUT 6K TICKETS IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS.

 

[Jmare007]

That's pretty dope. I wonder if they are going to change the set up so more people can get in. They can make 10k if 6,000 were sold in a couple of hours.

The arena fills up 3k, but it's 2 days and both days sold out in less than 2 hours. I'm sure they'll do at least a 6,000-capacity venue when they come to the U.S. next time.

I read on wikipedia the venue they were using could hold 10k. Still good news though.

I didn't even get a chance to get tickets. Gonna have to try for loose ones as the show comes near.

Just tried to get one for my homie on night 2 on the secondary market and they're literally 4x the price I bought them for. The cheapest seats sold out almost instantly. After 14 or so minutes, all of the sets of seats were gone and the only ones left were singles.

Apparently NJPW was so taken aback by the reception that they're going to try to add more seats. Per their website and ran through Google Translate:

Advance tickets for "G1 Special in USA" held at the Los Angeles / Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center on Saturday, July 1st (Sat) and 2nd (Sun) will be held on April 2nd, It was sold out from 2 o'clock less than 2 hours from the start of sale.

We are currently considering additional sales. We will announce it on official website · SNS etc. as details are decided.

I was hoping they'd run the Arena since it holds more than the hall.
