New Japan generally kill WWE in Japanese PPV buys (as iPPV is now a much bigger deal over there than traditional PPV, which a relatively few number of people have access to, although it'd be interesting to see Network sub numbers). Also, while WWE have been improving their attendances with each tour over the past few years, they still struggle to fill out the bigger arenas - for instance, New Japan drew 8,500 and 9,100 in Sumo Hall this year, while WWE drew a heavily papered 5,000 and then 11,000 with Hogan introducing KENTA as the draw. Also, they can't really draw outside of Osaka and Tokyo and had to stop running the Tokyo Budokan in 2009 as numbers really dwindled in just 5 years from 14,000 to 4,000, which is a ridiculously low number for a Budokan show.
