Kurt Angle:"Canada is lacking two things.The first is Olympic heroes,and no Ben Johnson does not count.The second is Memorial Day.We in the States celebrate our heroes by having barbecues.I realise here in Canada you can't have barbecues because you'd be attacked by a moose,a caribou or even a grizzly,it's true! Hold on a second - you'd probably be attacked by a grizzly as well.On second thought..the Grizzlies don't beat ANYBODY here in Vancouver,let alone anywhere else,it's true,it's true!"
Well... all I'm going to say is this: Unless New Japan's year completely sucks, Wrestle Kingdom 10 is going to be completely sold out after this show.
Best Wrestle Kingdom since... man, I don't even know.
New Japan said the attendance was 36k, they always overstate the numbers and papering is also a tradition, so it would be very hard to double their numbers in a year, Ross and Jarett were saying it would do 60000, Meltzer said the advance sales were 50% higher than last year, yet, they did "only" 1000 more than last year and kinda looks as if they threw out that number just to outdo last year attendance
The problem is that, imo, people is not really interested in attending and watching the action from afar. Even in Soccer, they had 200,000 Maracana stadium holding the world cup final in 1950, last year, it held 78k, so the tendency is towards smaller, more comfortable venues, with bigger tap prices. Anyways, attendance was a huge number, but JJ, Ross and Meltzer kinda overhyped expectations.

Nakamura is better than every wrestler in the world.
Can't wait for him to main event the dome next year and win the belt.
And the dome show ruled, the only match WWE could do for mania that would approach the top 2 matches on this show is Rollins/Bryan for the title, and Rollins would have to be much more over as a heel for that to work,and they would need more than 30 minutes.
Well one man has threw his name into facing CM Punk at the next UFC. This man is one feared ass kicker even though he's never fought in the Octagon. Does CM Punk have the balls to face.....AL BUNDY ?

I'm watching Wrestle Kingdom right now and it's a damn good show so far. It's making me want NJPW World even more!
