How to engage your largest and most lucrative market outside of North America:
- Increase the price of all PPV's
- Cut the amount of "free" content they receive on TV (note - free content actually requires an additional £24.50 a month on top of your standard satellite/cable subscription)
- Attempt to sell cut content back to them under the WWE Network banner but cut all of the archive footage the rest of the world receives (except Canada - we feel your pain brothers!)
Fuck those carnies!

I regret filling in that Sky Sports survey they put out a few months ago, looking back it was completely foreshadowing the moves they've just taken.
Gonzalez, that promo was less effective than Cesaro's on Raw this week. Sorry, man. We all know you're a nice guy deep down who's just had some bad luck in his life, so you unleash your negativity on a message board because it's a safe outlet without real consequences for your words. I get it, man. You don't have to be so negative, though. It's not worth it. The world is a beautiful place and you're one of the flowers in its lush garden.
Bring it in.
Bring it in.

Seeing as how they missed the opportunity last year, they should have D.Brine come out to the best song ever made when he fights King Bork.

UWF booking events outside of Nickelodeon Studios.
Weird seeing footage of face Paul Orndorff as there's not a ton of it outside of his early WWF stuff. Captain Lou is on commentary, and he's pretty entertaining to listen to. No idea who the other guy is or, to better phrase it, don't really care.
Man, that's weird as hell.
When does he become Zigglers stunt double?

hopefully the ziggler outfit is a little more flattering on Dean than it was on R-Truth...

Me too. Although I was more hyped for REvolution than WrestleMania. Maybe because I hadn't really been following the build up to Mania.
Jones is rightly the favorite tomorrow, but if Cormier wins, Jones' reputation is so fucked.

Kota Ibushi says "something big will happen" in his match with Nakamura at WK9. Hopefully he doesn't get himself banned from another building for jumping off stuff he probably shouldn't jump off;

Matt Striker's final word on Wrestle Kingdom 9 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKn2p-qHFLo
Japanese wrestling with English commentary is something I've always wanted. I can't wait to get this show. Hopefully it's a huge success.

He's going to take the IC title and hop onto a rocket and blast off into space.
It's interesting to me that he's willing to do this considering he's not one of those guys that needs to jump off of things or take crazy bumps to get over. He's a great wrestler and one of the best high flyers in the world. He doesn't need to do Jeff Hardy spots.

I've heard if you have the flipps app and order Wrestle Kingdom it should be able to stream to your PS3, Xbox 360, or Xbox One if you have it connected to your tv.

Since I haven't gotten an answer in the NJPW World OT, the charge is still pending. Do I have to contact my bank to get it authorized? Can I log in before its authorized?

Bank issue, call your bank
You likely didn't get an answer because we wouldn't know, every bank or CC-company is different, I had no problems with my Mastercard.
But, you can try to log in and see if you can log in and view the content or not, that should answer that question.
As for if you need to call your bank or not, I guess you should probably call your bank.

What's a success, 1000 buys?
British Monsoon

10,000 for the GWF version, 30,000+ for the NJPW World version (which it should easily surpass, considering past Wrestle Kingdom iPPVs have got up to 100k buys).
I guess it's one of the big entrances of the night

I honestly don't think GWF will get their 10k goal at all. The PPV being hard for a lot of people to order and at that time is a very steep hill. It needs to be more accessible to get that kind of buys. On top of that, cannibalizing its value-minded members with the NJPW World option is tough and fucks them a little further.

stro, you should watch November Man. I plan to watch it as well. I think it is suppose to be a Bond movie without it being a Bond movie.

I liked the original Casino Royale. Fun and Playful as FUCK.
They just need 10k total including replays and streaming options right? It's not undoable, but Jarrett probably should have sprung for a commercial or two on TV.
The hardcores will buy both. I'm a NJPW World subscriber, and I still plan on ordering the PPV on my television so that I can have it on my DVR in HD. The kick in the pants may come if they actually release the JR commentary version on NJPW World after anyway.

I...I'm a hardcore fan and I ain't buying both.
EDIT: Maybe I'm not a hardcore fan after all!

I plan to get both as well. But only because it is WK9. I don't know if they plan for any other future English commentaries but I will not be getting that.

I really hope Wrestlekingdom will be good. I'll be ordering the PPV off of my ATT Uverse, I can't wait! I've only seen a few matches here and there of New Japan, so I'm walking in mostly cold turkey. Fingers crossed!

This PPV is $45, at least it is for me. ROH was $25 I believe.

They didn't have online competition for it though did they? If so that's promising.

they had their iPPV as well. I think that was $15.
