OH HOOO HOOO, LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OH NO NO NO NO PFFTHAHAHAHAHAHAA. How is this company so fucking retarded? NJPW is literally going to draw 7,500 people compared to NXT U.K drawing 1,800, at most.
What the fuck were they thinking?

Pretty cool that Vince is letting the tarps follow Tyler Breeze to NXT.
>Japan's biggest promotion barely outdraws WWE developmental
Can't make this shit up
They sold out retard. they only set up for those amount of people
OHNONONONO WEEBS ON SUICIDE WATCH
Shut up ya spastic
OH LAWD HE SEETHIN
Basically, here's what's going on if you're having trouble understanding.
NJPW announced a show in England on August 31st with Ospreay, Okada and the rest of the gang. As of right now, they're at 6,500 tickets sold with 7,500 being a legitimate sellout and being very likely since they have almost 3 months to sell 1,000 tickets. WWE, in their infinite knowledge, thought NJPW had only sold 2,000 tickets so they announced a show going head-to-head directly with the NJPW show. It's basically a Triple H dick measuring contest, the insecure faggot wanted to outdraw NJPW with NXT U.K, not realizing that they're nearing 7,000 tickets. When NJPW/ROH sold out Madison Square Garden, NXT was forced to move a day earlier because they did NOT want the perception going around that NXT got outdrawn by NJPW going head-to-head during Wrestlemania weekend. Now they're either going to get outdrawn and look incredibly bush league for a company that prides itself as being "The big leagues" or they're going to move the date of their shows again to once again not get outdrawn going head-to-head with NJPW. Perception is enormous for Paul and he doesn't want NXT to seem less popular than other brands, even though it clearly is.
Long story short, NXT and Triple H are fucking retarded. What a hilarious blunder.
In the last month

Who would UK fans rather go see? The first official big NJPW event with big stars like Okada, Tanahashi, Naito, Ibushi, etc. who rarely go the UK or WWE's 4th most important brand at best featuring people who wrestle in the UK every week? Smart move to go head-to-head there!

Imagine three wrestling shows taking place during the exact same day. WWE, NJPW and AEW. And of the 3, WWE drew by far the least amount of people and received the least amount of attention. Christ.
It's fucking moronic and it's not even really a choice for a lot of people since they already have tickets. I'm Welsh and already committed to Royal Quest, they need to just move the date and blame the rugby to save face
AEW will be happening at a different time and in a different country so it’s not really comparable. I’m honestly expecting WWE to change the date.
>AEW drew 11,000+
Let's see how they are drawing when they are doing TV every week and PPVs aren't basically destination events
>NJPW
How are ticket sales for G1 Dallas doing?
To be fair nobody gives a FUCK about NXT UK. If it was a regular TakeOver or WWE PPV we could talk.
As a UK fan I can confirm I'd be at RQ before I'd be anywhere near an NXMeme show
Yeah, me too. But then they look like punk bitches if they got bullied by AEW and NJPW. The perception is that this show was going head-to-head with NJPW. If they move again, this will be the 2nd time NXT had to reschedule because they didn't want to get outdrawn by NJPW.
OH NO NO NO NO this is the guy that will take over WWE after Vince is gone? LMAO AHAHAHAHAHAH TIME TO LAY THE TARPS

OH SHIT HE'S GONNA START CRYING SOON
AHAHAHA
Worked and seething.
How can one person possibly be so stupid? He probably thought it was so cute. "I'm going to outdraw them, just you watch. I'm going to bury NJPW" Christ, what a retard.
Triple Hs ego won't allow that.
He'd rather run a show in a half empty building.
It won't help that a bunch of the NXT UK guys (Mandrews/Flash Webster/Dunne) frequently wrestle for Dragon Pro so you're not offering local fans much they can't see every month

And then the funposting stops for (you)

The people in NXT UK are WWE wrestlers. They are being paid by WWE. WWE controls their booking. How are they not WWE wrestlers?
>I-it's n-not REALLY W-WWE!
Kek
Anyone comparing AEW & NJPW to WWE on this is an utter moron. It's not even proper NXT it's britbong spinoff NXT.
This would be like comparing those New Beginning USA shows where it was Juice Robinson, Marty Scurll, Jeff Cobb and the guys Shibata is training and averaged 700 people a show to WWE.
It is still run by WWE's people. The expenses are put into WWE's corporate account and any profits they make are also put into WWE's financials.
How is it not WWE?
I don't understand people saying that NXT (or NXT UK) is not WWE. It is WWE.
Dude, don't blame AEW and NJPW fans. It was Paul being fucking retarded that got WWE in this situation. Now they're going to change the date like a bunch of pussies despite declaring war with NJPW or, they're going to run head-to-head with NJPW and they're going to get smashed. They fucked up, don't get angry at people laughing at them.
if Vince was smart he would realise that only haruhi can defeat new japan.
>Earlier today we reported on Triple H’s comments that NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff was not done in response to AEW or NJPW but had been planned for some time.
>However, new information has come to light via podcast Super J-Cast via their Twitter account which claims otherwise.
>According to their sources, WWE had a “spy” in one of the ticket agencies working with NJPW for their August 31 UK show Royal Quest at the Copperbox Arena in London.
>The spy in question saw that NJPW had only sold 2,000 tickets for the event and reported this back to WWE in March.
>Believing sales were bad and seeing an opportunity to take advantage, WWE booked the NXT UK Cardiff date for the same day as a way of encouraging fans to come to their event instead of the New Japan show.
>What they did not realise was that New Japan and the Copperbox are working with two different ticket agencies for the event and have actually sold in excess of 5,000 tickets.
>That means the number of hardcore wrestling fans who might be willing to travel to the NXT UK event decreased dramatically.

Meltzer talked about this during last night's show. He was so fucking confused as to why NXT was booking a show going head-to-head with NJPW, knowing that NXT was going to get outdrawn really hard. He talks about how they moved their Mania weekend show up a day early to avoid this entire thing. How fucking stupid does WWE need to be, in order for Meltzer of all people to know the actual ticket sales number for NJPW and how can WWE possibly not know the numbers? Christ have mercy.
NXT isn't developmental, it's a vanity brand run by a money mark.
>to know the actual ticket sales number for NJPW
it's not hard to find out how well they are selling
Is Paul the most insecure man in wrestling history?
But user, you don't understand.
It started again.
If WWE can leech even 5% of NJPW or AEW tickets, they win in the long run.
They have that much more money.
This. someone who's been wrestling for 10+ years who end up in nxt can't be developing anything
Oh yeah, they're definitely selling out. The shitposting is going to be so fucking amazing that day when both AEW and NJPW smash WWE. What the hell was Paul thinking?
Lads I really think WWE might die in our lifetimes.
Nooo you can't trust the official website for a promotion, they're just trying to work people there like we do

Everything you said was right except AEW sold 13,000, not 11,000. So it's even worse for Paul, even if slightly.
>I don't understand people saying that NXT (or NXT UK) is not WWE. It is WWE.
That's because WWE conditioned them to believe it isn't WWE, they're brainlets that can't think straight, but yes of course NXT is just a WWE show.
You forgot that he dabs on NXT U.K.

lawl even if for some reason someone does want to see the exact same British wrestlers they can watch on the indie circuit but for three times the ticket price, they'd then have to stay in a fucking boutique hotel at £300 a night.

>Japan's biggest promotion barely outdraws WWE developmental
And outdraws it again on FOREIGN SOIL. You understand? They outdraw wwmeme on UK too now and they have outdrew them everywhere.

Vince was scared of WOS. Thats it.
>doesn't understand how strict Japanese business ethics are and how retarded this statement sounds
>Why is NXT UK a thing?
ITV/WOS
(now imagine how seething Vince must be that AEW got on ITV)
>doesn't understand the business and how much of a mark he is
Mate, they worked numbers in previous regimes.
The thing with Kidani is that he is head honcho of big cute animu girls card games corporations.
He is not a fucking carny and he said several times these are real numbers.
And coincidentally. When NJPW started announcing real numbers almost all promotions started announcing numbers according to them.
There are still promotions that will announce 2500 people in Korakuen hall, which everyone knows is impossible.
>New Japan outdrew WWE in the United States
>New Japan is now outdrawing NXT U.K in the United Kingdom.
Dude, if New Japan and AEW partner up, that'll literally be Paul and Vince's fucking nightmare. I think Vince would have a heart attack knowing that the two largest dicks up their ass are now tag teaming them.
>He removed it
Pussy
not die but probably move to a Pajeet country
Paul tried blacklisting any UK shitter from working in the WWE if they signed with World of Sport.
None of them cared, they are bearded manlets who never had much chance of going to WWE anyway so the threat was meaningless.
So then he had to create a whole new NXT UK fed for them, and hire them all to keep them away from World of Sport, and then it died after 10 episodes anyway.
Because it will help btfoing NXT on social media. People are going to be hyped for NJPW and then ALL OUT a few hours later.
No he didn't, retard. It's still there. He retweeted it.
Selling
The irony is that AEW being owned by a guy who lives in the UK is a way bigger threat than a shitty World of Sport revival. AEW is going to be running major PPVs in the UK, WoS was dead on arrival and NXT UK is a joke in comparison.
>thinks he's "in the biz" and isn't just """""a fan"""" himself
yikes have sex
So you agree that New Japan doesn't work numbers on their website, thanks for confirming my point.
Actual footage of Triple H booking an NXT show to go head-to-head with NJPW, only to later realize NJPW had sold 6,500 tickets already.
This
Yes. I agree.
But they did previously. I am saying that for the anons who were being snarky towards you.
Sorry if I came off too argumentative, my fault.

Holy shit, NXT runs at a deficit losing millions, trying to steal and horde wrestlers from all over the world, yet got blown the fuk out by a company run by guys who don't eveb speak English, yet outdrew them in America, UK, not to mention far outdraw WWE in Japan even though WWE only goes once and brings all their Japanese talent. And to top it off NJPW is making millions in profit and is much more respected. Paul never should have pissed them off, they'll cuck him for the rest of his life.

>tfw you watched the first episode of nxt uk then quickly forgot about the brand
They're already had their own takeover, right? I'm not sure if I watched it. I know I saw a WALTER vs Dunne match, but they did one of those on a normal takeover didn't they?
Wwe in the UK is dead bro. They lost the war there. It seems wwe can only be the main draw if the country doesn't have an established scene. It's going to get outdrawn on tv by aew and njpw is seen as the creme de la creme by the brits. The global expansion b.s. died before it even got a chance to take off. Despite all their efforts in chink land cima went over there and did more in a month than they've done in years. WWE is more worried about keeping up appearances than in their customers. What's going to happen when the xfl is in full swing?
That was on a real Takeover. UK Takeover had Pete vs that fat shitter Joe Coffey

I still remember the damage control of the marks signed with NXT UK when some wrestler called NXT UK out for trying to ruin the UK indie scene.
>It's going to get outdrawn on tv by aew
This is a given considering NXT UK isn't on TV period, Paul pitched it to a bunch of networks but nobody wanted it. At the time people were saying it was due to public disinterest in wrestling but AEW managed to land the ITV deal before they even had their first show. The entire NXT UK saga has just been HHH wasting money and getting BTFO again and again.

>durr if they'll go to London, they'll surely go to Cardiff!!!
People don't go to Cardiff unless they have to, and they especially don't fucking go when there's rugby on. NXTlets are going to be bumfucked by drunk rugby lads.
More like
>attempt to kill the territory and competition by attempting to sign everyone
>forget to sign the 3 guys that draw
Yeah, fuck NXT UK. They saw UK wrestling starting to do well and just had to kill it completely. It's lucky the three big names here didn't fall for their shit. NXT UK and all wrestlers in it are traitors and need hanging in front of the Queen.
>>forget to sign the 3 guys that draw
Grado, the one who was in Love Island and the ghost of Brian Glover?
Well yeah that too, it won't be much work for them.
Ospreay, ZSJ and Scurll
RAW and SD ratings are like 70k live, 200k total IIRC. Attendance is also in the shitter. NJPW outdraws them, AEW will, and all their money will be spent in vain. Think about it, NXT spent tens of millions on talent, infrastructure and promotion, and NJPW blew them the fuk out with next to zero promotion. This one show will make NJPW more money than the whole NXT UK promotions existence since it and NXT never made a profit period. Idiotic long term investment that will literally never pay off. Wtf is the point of all this time and money.
People in this country aren't bothered about WWE. Years ago, when normal people had Sky Sports, sure. But in the last decade it became not worth the money and the crowds for WWE events that were once huge and desperate for wrestling are getting smaller and caring less.
Honestly, no kids in this country have wrestling in their culture any more. It's just older people who watch other shit anyway. People were excited for WOS, but it sucked then NXT UK took all their talent, but ask someone what NXT UK is and they'll think it's a new hipster coffee shop.
I forgot a bout grado desu, he is a confirmed draw
Can someone tell me what's the point of NXT UK when the only relevant British wrestlers in the world aren't part of WWE?
my guess is trying to muscle out the rest of the UK scene that isn't playing ball with WWE
WWE is basically a free NXT for AEW now.
You start in NXT and if you're good enough you go to WWE, and if you're good enough in WWE you go to AEW
To book exactly the same wrestlers as Progress but charge more for tickets.
