@THEBKgoodman@JohnnyPharmer@jipjam2003@davemeltzerWON That’s bullshit. If you bought a ticket and weren’t comped or let in by somebody at the show, they scanned your ticket. Maybe once or twice you may have gone away with not getting your tickets scanned but not half of all arenas.

“You’re going to make $15M this year.”
It’s extremely comprehensive, and complete with footage! To Rob’s point, I’d love if a couple other promotions got this treatment.
In general outside of AJPW and AJW, a lot of Japanese promotions are lacking in fanmade video essay and informative documentary content on YouTube.
Yearly reminder to run to YouTube & enjoy Bahu’s History of FMW series. It’s so great - especially the 89-97 year breakdowns.
Please someone create similar awesome videos for 90s Michinoku Pro & WAR & 2000s Zero One.

Another era in the present.

@IANdrewDiceClay Japanese are just so much better at presentation dude. Look at JMMA organizations and how they present their fighters, the posters, their arenas etc. just shit on the UFC.
@toshanshuinLA Absolutely. The fantatism and respect for the history here is evident at every event and especially at Toudoukan. I will root for the scene here to rise again. They deserve it.
@ad4Ha0jcEobjrIw@k60817074@njpw1972 Nakamura and Takeshita have become very close since Takeshita moved to America. Nakamura is like a mentor and is very close to the Japanese wrestlers that have moved to Florida, which is where he lives.
@iamharold@Complex Not necessarily, but unless the starting bid is statutory or legally mandated, there likely isn’t anything of material value in that company
@MikeNellis Trump didn't suddenly become nice, he just respects power and proximity to power. Does't matter if it's Putin, a terrorist, or the Mayor of New York. He equally disrespects people he perceives to have no power. He is a narcissistic con man with no principles.
