I'd say a Stardom of the West, but Shawn Michaels and NXT kinda has the tools for that.

Anxious to see what the scene looks like now, hopefully they have plans in place just in case any promotion ransacks the them like WWE did years agoBack in the real world....

To me, my board!
When the rumors started months ago I knew as soon as they got a streaming deal it was gonna be met with the “SO WHAT” reactionsHere's a new one that will agitate a certain few....
Beards: "nobody has Max"
Real world:
Warner Bros. Discovery Adds 7 Million Streaming Subs in Q3 to Hit 110 Million as Box Office Dives 40% in ‘Barbie’-Less Summer
Warner Bros. Discovery reported its third-quarter 2024 earnings results Thursday.variety.com
They are clinging to a report that Max only accounts for 2% of streaming in the U.S. but nobody actually knows what the numbers really are because these streaming platforms don't release their real data.
Netflix tried to say 65 million people watched Tyson and Paul. Read the fine print and it says "at least one minute".... meaning they were cooking the books even in their press releases. Part of the reason why Hollywood was on strike is because they were trying to get these streamers to release data and it still went nowhere.
Even when they do these so-called "data dumps" they still leave a lot unclear
It's very pathetic that online beards are still trying to have a ratings discourse
Netflix Is Getting More Transparent, Without Giving Everything Away
The streaming giant has released a new report about what people are watching on its service, but it’s still holding back crucial viewership data.www.vanityfair.com
But I haven’t watched in awhile so now I can get caught up

There's a guy who posts here who was updating his echo chamber threads on Christmas morning and then again on New Year's Eve, an hour before clock was about to strike midnight.
It's those types of people who will always keep the lame discourse going

It’s just funny trying to blame most of the problem on TK for not trying to sell tickets for a show he’s not the main promoter for in a country he didn’t book a show at. Yes, he coulda put more effort, but at the end of the day he’s not in charge of trying to put butts inside the Tokyo Dome.I always call out out dumb decisions regardless of how often it happens or how predictable they are
Breh, neither New Japan nor AEW needed Wrestle Dynasty to exist. Neither promotion gained anything from booking this show. My question from day one was "why would you do this" and after seeing what ended up happening I'm still confounded by both the call to book the show and the abysmal work everyone did to make the whole weekend a success.
I have called out New Japan for literally a decade and continue to do so in the puro thread. This is an AEW thread, therefore I'm using this one to call out AEW.
NJ shouldn’t even do back to back Dome shows anymore. If they were set on having a Japanese hosted co-event, it shoulda been in February or March for their anniversary show.

Meltz said 4,500 non-Japanese fan flew in for the show(s), the most ever. I guess because they didn’t hit 4,501 it’s a terrible number.
They have an opportunity to build off of it.

AEW or NJ?

The shouldn't have been doing it when they were doing well tbh. And yes, a co-promoted event in Sumo Hall in Feb-March would've been the smart decision.
Again, I've gone over Gedo's retarded ass problems for a decade. Went over them as well when the WK card was announced because that's 100% on New Japan. Wrestle Dynasty is a co-promoted event. You don't get to have that event if TK is smart enough to tell them "No". And if he was going to play ball and do the show, then put some effort and try to make the show a success, which he didn't do. WD depended on whatever the AEW could mean to the Japanese audience, which is why booking the show at the Dome was such a dumb idea.It’s just funny trying to blame most of the problem on TK for not trying to sell tickets for a show he’s not the main promoter for in a country he didn’t book a show at. Yes, he coulda put more effort, but at the end of the day he’s not in charge of trying to put butts inside the Tokyo Dome.
You'd guess wrong.

so basically 4500 people flew from the U.S. to watch Kenny and Mercedes which on the one hand is pretty crazy seeing as most wrestling fans do not have the money to fly over there and stay there but on the other hand they probably could have gotten more people to go over if TK promoted that it was happening

Smart enough to say no? If he said no you dudes would be going on about him being a tyrant and push the “AEW one sided deal” even more.
Like I posted, the most ever non-Japanese fans flew in for the weekend. You wanna fill the Tokyo Dome as much as possible? How about attracting the home country fans.

Hard for Gedo to attract fans now because he spent years undermining the young talent. Now he wants people to come out for Shota and Tsuji but it's too late, they gonna have to grind from the bottom and build the foundation like Tanahashi had to all those years ago.
By putting Okada and Ospreay on the card?Smart enough to say no? If he said no you dudes would be going on about him being a tyrant and push the “AEW one sided deal” even more.

AEW attendance has fallen In The states and guys expect him to promote a show outside the country where he’s not fully responsible for organizing it.
He gotta get the fans here to care before the Japanese.
