NOAH had the worst and third worst Sumo Hall shows this year across all promotions over the last couple of days, so clearly something needs to be fixed before the death spiral becomes inescapable and they end up in the All Japan position of an indie promotion that once had glory

You know I kept wondering how New Japan would of ruined Tanahashi if Inoki stayed in power but the real What If is what if Tanahashi went with Mutoh to All Japan and now I imagine Tana getting the Sanada treatment

Kongoh could do a lot of good in a lot of places. Wonder if their contracts are up at the same time so they can shop themselves around as a group, do the Stronghearts/Prominence thing

I know loyalty isn't quite the same in Puro as it was in the 80's/90's/00's but I think Nakajima probably would have an easier time jumping than other in NOAH as he didn't start there

The problem is, where are they going? New Japan doesn't have spots, All Japan doesn't have the money, DDT doesn't make much sense since it's part of the Cyberfight family, and presumably working in the US is off the table. Short of doing the indie sleaze grind, they're basically stuck.

I wonder if DDT might actually make sense. They could just approach Takagi as a unit and talk about the possibility of switching promotions, under the idea that their unit is a better fit for DDT. If Takagi understands that they as a group are unhappy with their booking, he'd be more likely to want to keep them than risk losing them.

None of Kongoh came through the NOAH dojo, so I wouldn't think they'd have a ton of loyalty to the promotion like someone like Kaito or Go would My best guess for them to land would be GLEAT unless there is legitimate heat with their parent company LIDET from when they owned NOAH, or if that was just in storyline. Although Takagi is the president of NOAH as well as DDT, i've not heard anything about him being involved in their booking, they're treated as completely different promotions with different philosophies rather than brands under CyberFight e: gently caress it, just switch Kongoh for Pheromones and I will happily make turn NOAH off and never see Go and Kaito again

I see no one mentioned All Japan. It’d be a shot in the arm for the promotion if the booking is good.

SatoshiMiwa posted:All Japan doesn't have the money though All Japan might have more money than you'd expect? God, my memory is poo poo (see me totally making up that you can cheer at baseball & soccer games in Japan but not wrestling) but my vague recollection is that...the owner or one of the owners, whatever, is involved with some B movie studio that had a surprise hit and they were suddenly in a much more comfortable position financially. So it might be approaching feasible? And if you're short a few Bob just create a new singles title for Carbell Ito to pay to get to hold. I honestly think the bigger problem would be that Nakajima is meant to have been a pure dickhead to Miyahara at the Sasaki Dojo and there's still real heat there. So maybe Kenoh in AJPW is feasible but doubt both of them. It'd not necessarily be a natural fit but I'd kind of like to see Nakajima in Dragongate, that would be fascinating.

It’d be a shot in the arm for the promotion if the booking is good. it's basically the TAJIRI/Suwama/Ishikawa show there That's the promotion Yusuke Okada left because he reportedly got buried after speaking up about the vanity booking Anyway, no promotion is perfect, so be like me and just a watch a little bit of everything! Honestly though I think Dragongate has the best booking (with a few caveats), at the very least the swerves are legit surprising and fun, and they make the most out of factions in puro as they're continuously in flux.

I wonder if CyberFight gets a discount for booking Korakuen the entire day and running two shows there, there's no way GanPro can make a profit with how few people come to their shows

But DDT just had a big show, so Gan Pro gets a chance to acquire a bigger audience
