That site showed in 2005 the Dome had 8,500. Kinda shows had bad the Inoki/Yukes leadership was. NOAH drew a lot more than NJPW in 05 but they had a stacked card. New Japan's growth is either looked at as great or overrated but it looks like they are heading in the right direction. They have came a long way from claiming Dome shows had 46K when they only had 8K.

I enjoyed the show even though I feel asleep during the IWGP tag team match during the live broadcast of the show. I thought the Nakamura/Ibushi match was awesome and the Tanashashi/Okada match was much better than their last Dome match. I get the criticism with their series because it gets repetitive but they do a great job this. As for the production of the English broadcast, I thought it would be more in terms of breaks and even vignettes for Global Force but there was none of it. Because of the time block on American PPV, this show felt rushed. If they do any more PPVs in America, Global Force has to get people from AXS Tv to see how they did it with those K-1/DREAM shows and how they put there announcers on camera. I was surprised they didn't even have a translator sitting next to JR and Striker to tell what guys said when they did a promo.

Is the show on the iTunes feed? I've subscribed to both feeds and I don't see it. I'm interested cause I saw the show and liked it but it felt too rushed. As for the attendance figure, this is same thing I've always had a problem with in terms of Dome Show attendances cause they would mostly be the number from New Japan. I wished Zach Arnold was still covering Japan since he was the guy with the most accurate numbers.

Who was the foreign talent that Dave scouted for WWE? I never heard that story before. Was it the AJW wrestlers who came for that mini tour in 86?

Sasha has gotten to be a better talker but there's times where she sounds like she's reading off a script. Not Bella Twins bad but still bad at times. But on the flip side, you see doses her character really being good. She's got the whole reality show crazy ratchet girl persona going and she needs more time allowing her to be a natural heel. With Charlotte, she's ok but she doesn't really get opportunities to talk. I'm with Bill on this one as Sasha is more complete for what the main roster looks for in the Divas division and she's really become a little ring general the last year or so. Like I'm never bored when she's leading the match and I can't say the same for Charlotte. It's funny that Manami Toyota was mention cause according to her Twitter, Sasha is a Akira Hokuto fan.

Linda Miles was a dominatrix with the Bashams in WWE. It didn't work but it would be interesting if somebody tried that again.

You took the words out of my mouth. I've been watching a lot of All Japan Women's from the 80s since I'm debating on the Greatest Wrestler Ever Project and I saw all of the matches Loss put in the Joshi thread. With AJW, they were booked in the own seperate world and had their own following and it was treated seriously. With WWE, the seeds have been planted with Total Divas but it's not enough for all of them to get over. WWE needs to have them separate in order to get them really popular but they don't have to market it just to teenage girls. Grown women have a lot of spending power too, just look at all of the commercials that are placed during those reality shows that Bravo, Vh1 and E! have. Much more money in marketing to women than marketing to the demographic that Raw has currently.

Now that would be a freak show fight. However, I wonder what athletic commission is going to give Punk a license to fight when he's cracked his skull and has had multiple concussions.

When I first saw about Punk signing with UFC this morning, I thought "Doing what?" I mean guys who have gotten killed or just beat the hell up in MMA coming from wrestling had legit backgrounds in amateur wrestling like Nagata,Shibata, and Nakamura. Batista had a hard time against a no name guy in his MMA fight and I remember other guys like Jose Canseco, James Toney and Jonnie Morton getting embarrassed. I don't fault him nor the UFC for doing this cause it makes sense business wise. I'm another lapsed MMA fan and the fights I've seen in the last 12 months is the UFC show last December with Anderson Silva in the main and the Connor McGregor show in Ireland (who reminds me of Punk in a way.) UFC needed this cause I doubt the buyrates for last night's show are going to be good.

Welp, I tried casting from Plex to Roku and it doesn't work. Looks like the Plex Cast chrome plugin was made for chromecast.

Did you try your Roku and casting it with the Plex app? I don't NJPW World but their press conference and intro video are there for free so I can try that when I get home.I haven't tried the plex app . I thought plex was just for files on your computer not for netflix or NJPW. Let me know if you make it work.There is a plugin that lets you cast websites with Plex from the browser to the Plex app on the Roku. I have to try it cause I have a MacBook and the plug in might only work for Windows. I will let you know.

I'm enjoying this Austin Podcast with McMahon. They need to make this every week like one of those ESPN Radio shows.

With historians in other fields, being a historical curator is mostly what they do. They are focused on keeping records and seeing how old events relate to today's events in a historical sense. Dave does a really good job of that but he's being a daily reporter on top of being a historian which is tough. Matt Farmer is great historian of wrestling cause he doesn't have to pressures of covering what's going on WWE and UFC every single day.

Yeah, I think you have to give him a break on some of this footage stuff because of how much he works on in terms of current stuff with the newsletter and his MMA writing gigs.

I didn't think you were being a dick or anything. I just see this dynamic all the time as someone who kind of bridges the worlds of the tech-adept and the Luddites. There are a lot of people who don't see their computer, TV and phone all as one thing. And many of them probably don't care to. Yet we race ahead in tech discussions as if everyone is on the same page. It's interesting. To further your topic of interest, and bringing me around to realizing how strong a point you have, all these people saying "It's clunky to hook up my laptop, then I can't use it" shocked me. I have a set up where my full time monitor is my television. Mulitmedia Mac hooked up to that, wireless mouse, wireless keyboard. It all works great, and isn't all that expensive. Particularly to the guy looking to buy a 24" monitor rather than get a TV with an HDMI port. I'm the one that said that it was clunky to hookup my laptop to the TV and when I set up my MacBook to mirror the screen, I have to move TV to make room on the stand. It's a small thing but I'm not throwing a fit about it. But for me sometimes, I just want to use my laptop instead of my phone while I have something is going on the TV. Call me lazy or a short attention person or whatever but I do it like a lot of other people do it. Trust me, I can set up something similar to your set up easily but that's not what I want to do.

this is something i see all the time and it continues to amaze me. For a lot of people it has to do with the layout of their house/furniture, but I think for some it is genuinely just a mental block.Exactly. I have a converter for my laptop to HDMI cable and it works fine but it just looks clunky when I put it next to my tv in my apartment. Plus, sometimes I just don't want to open up the laptop to watch something after a long day. I recently set up a Plex server so I can stream matches that I have on my hard drive to my tv but also having the luxury to do stuff on laptop if I wanted to.

Just saw the Network's twitter that they are running a special that if you purchase the Network for a full year, you get a free Roku stick included. Now I feel stupid for buying one months ago where I could've got it for free.

I'm going to wait a month to see if the service is better than the Network. I took a glance through the website and their collection is huge. I wish this and Terra had a Roku app so my Roku can be what VCR was to me when I was a kid watching wrestling.

Plus the 1/4 Dome show will be available to stream at ¥999 aka $8.40 a month. Wonder if this hurts the Global Force PPV.

Heard about it but didn't see it. It's weird cause from the promos on Raw, New Day looks the parody version of the reality show called Preachers of LA mixed in with Kirk Franklin. EDIT: I just watched their debut on Smackdown and it wasn't bad. They just seem like happy babyfaces. Didn't really connect to the church stuff but we'll wait and see.
