Cowboy Wally Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 hoping they announce something soonWhat do you think the chances of Muta reaping his worldwide Indy contacts for this show? Have you see anything else on the Kensuke Sasaki office throwing some talent in to the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan4L Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Kensuke Office has been working with AJPW so I doubt it. I think we get a mix of NJPW, Zero 1 and TNA. Crossing my fingers for BJW as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordi the former AEW fan Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Apparently they have some type of sponsorship deal with Ezaki Glico, however big or important they are I have no idea. Glico's a HYUUGE candy and processed food conglomerate. They own Pocky. That alone gives them essentially unlimited money to throw away on ego projects. Also: Pretz, Cheeza, Papico, Juku Curry, Happy Pucchin Pudding... all of their proprietary brands are hugely popular, plus they make breakfast meats, sausages, instant noodles... You see the Glico logo on every kind of unhealthy and tasty thing over here. I doubt a week has gone by since I moved to Japan when I didn't consume some kind of Gliko product. If they are really into supporting Muto, that's gigantic news. I'd have to assume they are the kind of company that could literally throw millions into this and laugh it off as a tax dodge.

Kevin Wilson Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yea I can't tell if they are sponsoring this event or the promotion as a whole, but Mutoh has always seemed to be able to get sponsors when he wants them. From reading their site I *think* that the show has sold out as they are advertising that now they only have for sale "obstructed view" seats for only 20 bucks. Might be their way of saying standing room only, I don't know what the Japanese call that and I doubt Google Translate does either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think that's called "Super Sort of No Vacancy Just Stand Over There" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salads Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 but Mutoh has always seemed to be able to get sponsors when he wants them. Am I wrong in thinking this is mainly down to Mutoh being really fucking cool? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'm hoping that the plan is not to announce the card, and just surprise everyone on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 That is safe to pull off if the card is sold out, you just better deliver or it can kill the credibility of the promotion instantly. If its a bunch of lower level TNA guys and Indy wrestlers, then fans are going to be pissed off from day one and any future "X" wrestlers will be assumed to not be a big deal. Hopefully at least for the main event they got some main-event worthy wrestlers. TNA can't help but so much since they have an event Saturday night with a full line-up already announced on the East Coast so no way those wrestlers can get there in time.

pgi86 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 There'll be no TNA guys on the debut show according to Muto's latest interview with Tokyo Sports. From what I can gather, when it comes to the TNA relationship Muto's interested in using only younger guys from TNA. In the interview he also talks about wanting to create some sort of unified championship to be defended in W-1, TNA, AAA and Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be safe for the house show, but aren't they broadcasting live as well? I'd think that having at least some of the card set would be helpful for bringing in viewers. Eh, but what do I know.

ultimoDANK Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 This lack of card has me so fascinated. Mutoh only wanting to use young TNA guys is kinda sad. Mutoh opposite Sting would have made for an interesting main. Provided Sting is even still with TNA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 If using young guys is code for letting Masakatsu Funaki beat the shit out of Bischoff's kid then I'm all for it. I'd flip for Mutoh vs. Sting today. I don't care how much older they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgian_Waffle Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 I think we're more likely to get Vampiro than Sting at this point. they need to announce something. soon.I'm almost hoping they swerve us and have all the X's be Suwama & co. from AJPW showing up to crash the W-1 party and defend Baba's honour or something.

Control Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Results from Purolove (I don't think I need a spoiler tag, but I'll add one until I get the go-ahead): [Results] WRESTLE-1, 08.09.2013 (von Sternness am 08.09.2013) WRESTLE-1 "W-1 DEBUT TOUR", 08.09.2013 (GAORA TV/iPPV)Tokyo Dome City Hall 1. Hiroshi Yamato & Daiki Inaba (Debut) besiegen NOSAWA Rongai & MAZADA nach einem Northern Light Suplex von Yamato gegen NOSAWA. 2. Kohei Sato & Ryouji Sai besiegen Ryota Hama & Yasufumi Nakanoue (10:18) nach einem Piledriver von Sato gegen Nakanoue. 3. Women's Pro Wrestling Match: Yoshiko besiegt Mayu Iwatani (6:26) mit einem Diving Senton. 4. Koji Kanemoto & Minoru Tanaka besiegen Masaaki Mochizuki & Fujita "Jr." Hayato (13:08) nach einem Ankle Hold von Kanemoto gegen Hayato. 5. Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi besiegen Kaz Hayashi & Shuji Kondo (15:20) nach einem Deadlift German Suplex Hold von Sekimoto gegen Kondo. 6. Kazushi Sakuraba & Katsuyori Shibata besiegen Masakatsu Funaki & Masayuki Kono (16:30) nach einem Chickenwing Facelock von Sakuraba gegen Kono. 7. KAI Return Match: KAI besiegt Seiya Sanada (16:41) mit dem Splash Plancha. 8. Keiji Muto & Bob Sapp besiegen René Duprée & Zodiac (10:20) nach einem von Muto gegen Duprée. I can't say that the majority of X's are too surprising, though I'd prefer to see some of them in AJ. #6 is probably the most interesting, while the main event is obviously the most "Oh Muto, you so crazy!"
