>New Japan World subscribers have hit 122,000 with good gains coming with the start of the Best of the Super Juniors tournament. An interesting note is that the two most-watched matches thus far have been Rocky Romero’s matches with Will Ospreay and Robbie Eagles. Some of that is because Australia and the U.K. are in more favorable time slots than the U.S., but still, you’d think the Japanese bouts would dominate since Japan has the most subscribers. >This has helped Eagles in the eyes of management. The new people who have signed up in the last week are mostly from Europe, not the U.S., or Japan, so there’s a feeling Ospreay being in a key position has helped a lot. Eagles was said to be the most popular newcomer this year, with part of the reason believed that the fans are comfortable with him because he’s half-Asian. >His new Bullet Club T-shirt is the best selling Bullet Club shirt in Japan since the Young Bucks were taken out of the group. It was noted he’s also getting over with women and children, similar to Juice Robinson, and women are a key demographic they are after
Based Just shows that we smarks don't know anything
Camden Price
This is further confirmation to me that he is going to go face at some point soon. Go back and watch his Night 7 match, total babyface. The ELP match changed him.
Aaron Russell
BASED Eagles drawing the house and making the panties wet
Aaron Clark
what the hell kind of half-asian is he?
Mason Jackson
The other speculation may be true but nobody in Japan likes or is more comfortable with someone if they are 'half-Asian', Japanese don't consider themselves 'Asian' it's Japanese and everyone else. Japanese don't like someone from China, Korea, etc because they are 'Asian'.
Nathan Davis
Lol, how are the E and AE-drones gonna spin this?
Eli Stewart
>Be Jay White >Get pushed to the fucking Moon >Nobody can be paid to care >Get swept under the rug as the embarrassing mistake you are >Some Aussie manlet shows up and effortlessly moves way more merch than you ever did OH NO NO NO NO BREATHE WITH THE KEKBLADE
Ryan White
Since that match the crowd actually seems to care about him
Wyatt Cox
I just want to tell you all that Robbie Eagles trained a wrestler named Snapchad.
Phantasmo sure, but Eagles is very clearly not into ELP's dickishness, they're setting him up to break out of BC, they just want to sell as many t-shirts as they can before doing it.
Xavier Hernandez
Bullet Club is actually good now, I honestly never thought i'd see the day with the Young Bucks and Cody and teddy bears and stuff.
ELP is a goddamn heat magnet.
Thomas Lopez
Eagles looks ILL. Fucker's got jaundice.
Carter Gomez
Don't worry, he's just half asian
Carter Rivera
Teddy bears are the backbone of NJPW, in fact, Harold Meij having the idea to sell Naito teddy bears (that then spread to a bunch of other wrestlers) that sold like hotcakes was the thing that nailed him down for the position of president.
Brody Lee
>pushing people to pander to a minority audience Since it worked out so well for Jinder right. Lol at Jay White flopping too
Adam Ramirez
He doesn't look half asian at all. He's working the fujos
Jonathan Lewis
Yea Forums will always be #TeamChadblade #Breathe
Jonathan Stewart
Sorry bros but I’m /hdbngclb/ till I die
Adam Foster
The kid is a junior that just got there, they're not putting him over Okada or anything, hell, he's not even tracking to win his BOSJ block, Phantasmo is.
Zachary Sanders
It's not hard considering this is what Japanese people think biracial Asians look.
I was talking about Ospreay being pushed for Europeans since he is gonna win a major title and leapfrog guys like Ishii. Eagles and juices pushes are fine
Liam Sanders
Based Rocky is the true draw
Sebastian Morgan
Dude has a gimmick with related to the bullet club. He is the fucking sniper of the skies and that's a good thing. >Eagles [...] he’s half-Asian. What the fuck!?
Dylan Scott
>An interesting note is that the two most-watched matches thus far have been Rocky Romero’s matches with Will Ospreay and Robbie Eagles. How do they know? In NJPWworld, if you want some match, you need to watch whole event (ofc you can search tho)
Charles Wright
Perhaps they were looking in social media and illegal streams/torrents on the internet.
Xavier White
not true they've got the shows all broken down into the individual matches too and even if they didn't, i'm sure they're able to tell what parts are being watched the most
Jose Adams
>believing Meltz
Parker Jenkins
Is this a new meme to say that Jay is a flop? Or are people retarded and think he is not being pushed since he is not featured right now since the fucking Jr. Tournament is going on? Guess Ishii is flopping right now too.
Nice Work Idiot Literally just type a name in the search bar
Joseph Rogers
I hope NJPW get a clue and realize that the AUS and UK market are better for them than the US. Also Eagles has grown on me. He wasn't anything special when he tagged with Ishimori but as a singles competitor he really shined.
Henry Kelly
do you know where you are? Yea Forums's gimmick is shitting on literally everything all negativity all day and then you're on Yea Forums where the user base is even dumber than average
>I hope NJPW get a clue and realize that the AUS and UK market are better for them than the US. Dude, that was the plan all along. They are dominating the rest of the relevant english-speaking countries then after building it's reputation they will jump to the US.
Hudson Wilson
USA should be abandoned and power consolidated in the UK and Australia
Brayden Anderson
what's heath slater doing in Japan?
Robert Gomez
>All their huge foreign shows are in the US You're delusional to think they value the UK and AUS more than the US.
Anthony Morgan
Based high test Eagles
Thomas Brooks
Eagles is cringe personified and I skip all his matches because he makes me hate that I enjoy wrestling. The guy is too cringe for me to physically handle.
Nicholas King
Phantasmo sounds like r*ddit incarnate. Based Eagles sounds like an Aussie Chad.
Mason Clark
There is a reason I have the series page bookmarked and not the main page. Series is the correct and best way to watch things that aren't live.
Austin Perez
Up to you. I dislike the way he constantly screams after taking some damage but Ospreay did the same when he had a short time in japan. He will learn.
Charles Torres
Good for him. He is not another high-flyer, he does balance his high-flying with submissions.
Colton Ramirez
So weird seeing your own local guy Eagles get really big recongition. Especially considering australia used to have no top guys.
James Reyes
>Loses title with 0 (zero) defenses in your path SEETHE WITH THE CRINGEBLADE
Dominic Foster
His Ospreay match will be the last test. If he does succed he is pretty much confirmed to be valuable use in the future.
Logan Howard
right? I hope based Slex gets the push next
Also rate the two Aussies going to the NJPW dojo in September
Based El DIMESperado's cap and shirt in the top 3.
Aiden Fisher
That doesn't prove him wrong though, there's no Bullet Club shirts in the top 10.
Robert Hall
I didn't see that coming at all. Based Sniper of the Skies.
Juan Young
nigga what do you got against teddy bears, next thing you're gonna tell me you don't like hello kitty
Jonathan Ramirez
They're the Filip Brothers, right? I watched them once on CWFH. Two weeks of backstage interviews, lost their first match, never seen again. They were fine I guess.
Hudson Jenkins
I wish he was bit taller I know he's in manlet weight but too manlet
Landon Diaz
If he gets Ishimori-tier body, it can help him.
Blake Wood
>cleans wins every match >out heeled by team mate
Luke Sullivan
You don't think they have access to detailed metrics? I'm sure they can tell exactly what stretch of time on each stream or VOD was most watched.
Jackson Cruz
I've been hoping Slex shows up again since that match he had with Okada a couple years ago. Slex cut some good promos and he wrestled that match like it was the most important match of his career.
William Lopez
>His new Bullet Club T-shirt is the best selling Bullet Club shirt in Japan I know it because I browse 5chan NJPW thread daily. They love Robbie for some reason. They probably don't know Robbie is half-Asian.
Andrew Kelly
>manlets can't dra...
Wyatt James
He has grown on me laterly and I cannot explain why. I watched him but didn't impress me that much in his debut last year, but during this tournament he is making a lot of noise.
James King
Filipino
Luis Butler
lol well that definitely ain't why the Japanese like him.
Mason Collins
Literally cannot care about indie midget flipper #427 that NJPW keeps bringing in that looks like another CAW.
Juan Morris
Yeah idk about them really Stevie on the right has had some great matches with Ospreay and Eagles but I've never seen Tome on the left have a great match. But they just finished up at the Fale dojo and are going to NJ so I guess they've got something I can't see.
Oliver Parker
He came to my local Indy a few months ago, really impressed me with his stuff. He's got a good grasp of ring psychology
You can't possibly be enough of a simp to not know that "top sellers" in every site are just stuff they're desperate to get rid off. It's a work, ya mark.
Adam Johnson
I think NJPW needs to drop their predatory practices and build their stars at the same time as their partners.
NJPW is huge in New Zealand amongst the Polynesian people, because Polynesians all fucking love pro wrestling, and bullet club is mostly Polynesians. Also Polynesians all play tekken which had a bullet club crossover. So you see polys in bullet club shirts everywhere in Auckland
They could get another several hundred subscribers/viewers/buyers in New Zealand alone, if not half a mil to a mil, and very easily
William Williams
I always skipped him last year until this years BOSJ because UK shit is so cringe but hes actually been impressive and not indy-like at all. He structures his matches well and makes the legwork interesting and sells pretty good, he comes across as polished. The complete opposite of that shitter ELP. Those tattoos really hurt him though
...and that's why they've lost momentum. Branching into the UK and AUS is the way to go right now.
Mason Campbell
Good luck with the UK now that AEW has ITV and a future PPV taking place there.
Caleb Morris
[spoiler]Rent-free.[/spoiler]
Tyler Wilson
What did he talk about specifically?
David Sullivan
He'll die in the ring before that happens.
Christopher Williams
ITV 4 is a Freeview channel. It's mostly reruns of shows from the 70's and the odd documentary on there. Still an impressive get for AEW mind, but it's not the actual UK Channel 3.
With their relationship with RevPro, New Japan could easily take the UK.
Luke Wright
>An interesting note is that the two most-watched matches thus far have been Rocky Romero’s matches with Will Ospreay and Robbie Eagles. BASED Azucar Roc
Adrian Miller
Based.
Ryan Scott

David Price
how did he get so good in singles matches? the past couple of years he's always just been in six-man tags, managing R3K, and doing commentary.
Kayden King
Remember he was trained by Inoki.
Jordan Diaz
E-drone spotted.
Daniel Anderson
>future feud with elp >gets his revenge by using his newest finisher head-shot Big fucking dimes ahead.
