What happened to Marigold?
This wouldn't help ticket sales, but it would help if Wrestle-Universe was as English friendly as New Japan.
>>16288307>They're entering a market that's already oversaturated where everyone else is struggling too>They offer nothing new or different other than a pipeline to and from WWE they can't rely on week to week to generate interest>They started the company with the promise that one of their few notable names would leave for WWE in three months and not come back>The roster is made up of ActWres Girlz alumni that people only care about when they're wearing bikinis
Doesn't shin kiba only hold 200ish?
puroresu shows used to do 15k. now they do 600. this is ridiculous.
>>16288340Tony took all their stars for his failing toy fed. AEW is bad for wrestling and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
>>16288346AEW dying and releasing all of the wrestlers into the wild would be the best thing for wrestling in almost a decade. It'd immediately jumpstart the indies.
>>16288307Should have never hired Mirai
>>16288307>What happened to Marigold?The allure of Wrestlemania
>>16288354>Wrestlers go from making contracted guaranteed money to overflowing the indies and putting the supply and demand power in the hands of the promoters to lowball them since there's a surplus of talent suddenly floating around>It's a good thing!This is the stupidest fucking take ever. But I'm sure you're in favor of the WWEID thing right?
>>16288398Or they get signed to companies that actually know what they're doing and can book shows that people would like to watch, unlike AEW.
>>16288423Where? That's going to pay them a fraction of what AEW does? I'm not someone who's going to try and force you into liking AEW or paint them as a company without any problems. Because obviously that's not the truth. But them existing and becoming as prominent as they have where an entire roster's worth of talent the size of WWE's can get paid WWE level money is only a good thing for wrestling. No they didn't kill the indies. No they're not stopping you from enjoying WWE. They just exist. Hopefully they'll get their shit together with attendance and all but as long as people are getting paid and they've got a show on tv then they're doing the business a favor by being there
>>16288307>Hire 1 (one) hot wrestler and fill your roster with ugly ass bitches>W-What happened to M-MaricoldYou tell me.
>utami will go to WWE after marigold folds
>>16288434>That's going to pay them a fraction of what AEW does?Clearly, because AEW's way of doing business is not sustainable. I don't think it's good for the wrestling business if an incompetent person pays people extreme amounts of money to leave respectable smaller companies and join his abysmal, failing one. It's good for those individual wrestlers in the short term, but it's bad for the industry overall.
>>16288434based and valid take
>>16288450>AEW's way of doing business is not sustainablePeople have been saying this since before they even had their first show booked though and now they've been around for over 5 years so that clearly isn't true
>>16288458And they've still made no money and are hemorrhaging viewers. Khan money will sustain it until Tony's dad pulls the plug, but Tony is incapable of running this company.
>>16288450>Clearly, because AEW's way of doing business is not sustainable.There way of doing business git them a new increased TV deal. You're also forgetting the most important detail, Tony Khan is very very rich. He can pay people as long as he's not bored
>>16288450>I don't think it's good for the wrestling business if an incompetent person pays people extreme amounts of money to leave respectable smaller companies and join his abysmal, failing oneCould this exact thing not have been said about Vince McMahon and WWE just a few years ago though? I don't ask that in a console warring way but in the fact that they legitimately had the same attendance issues and declining ratings as well just a handful of years back. By the current popular mindset the plug should've been pulled on them and the company should have been killed right then and there
>>16288438>>16288445Meds, frogfags.
>>16288463>And they've still made no moneyDid you miss the news of their new tv deal?
>>16288467>There way of doing business git them a new increased TV deal.From another company with incompetent leadership that can't make money. >You're also forgetting the most important detail, Tony Khan is very very rich. He can pay people as long as he's not boredThat's part of the problem though. In most circumstances, if a person can't run a company, then it'll fail and the assets will be acquired by people who can use them better. But Tony can get all these wrestlers, waste them in AEW, and keep it going for a very long time.
Why is a thread about KWABigold turning into one about AEW?
>>16288469And it was completely true at the time. WWE is in a good place now because the senile old man was forced out, and now the company is run by people who know what they're doing, both on the business side as well as creative.
>WWE kills Marigroom by taking their top star>T-THIS IS TONY KHAN'S FAULTdronies are deranged
>>16288498they're mad their farm is flopping.
no demand for a worse STARDOM, while the original is alive.at least the other joshi promotions cover a slightly different niche
>>16288487That's exactly my point though. Everyone overreacts to the farther extent with anything that happens with AEW. Sure they're far from their highest point right now but just like that period WWE was in who's to genuinely say changes can't be made that would turn things around at some point? So why rush to said wrestling would be better if the company as a whole died and didn't exist? If you'd like to see it under different management that's totally valid but it's a completely different point. If AEW disappeared tomorrow it'd be catastrophic for the business as a whole and the amount of talent and crew and all of that who would be out of work. Also it wouldn't flood the indie scene with names anyway. WWE would just sign up whoever they wanted and what would be left is what you'd likely already be able to see since some AEW names can still work indie shows. Truthfully if AEW was in a spot where they were ready to close up shop WWE would just buy them out anyway
>>16288307Rossy is a severely underrated candidate for KWABOTY that doesn't get talked about nearly enough. What a total and colossal failure of a coup. Got fired from Stardom and pissed away his entire legacy there while it just continued on like nothing even happened
So was there never a WWE partnership? WWE are sending wrestlers to TNA, GCW, and random indies. I don't see why they can't send female wrestlers from NXT on a long excursion in Marigold. White women draw the Japanese coomers.
>30 post thread about Marigold>ctrl F: AEW>15 results Mental illness.
Gaslighting. How would anyone financial info when it's a private company ran by one guy. The reality is that NJPW had a boom and were good at presenting themselves to look major league, but now that has cooled off and people see the reality that they have 2700 average attendance, and that's boosted by their big shows and Wrestle Kingdom. How much do you think it costs to run NJPW compared to a joshi Indie fed? How much more do you think the roster costs for NJPW, not even including paying people like Moxley, Daniel Bryan, Omega, etc. All people on 7 figure contracts in their own company. If you've ever been to Rossy show, you also know they always bring just enough merch to sell it out so the marks rush to buy shit as soon as the doors open. Where would this unsold merch come from?
>>16288620Areoi implying that Marigold does more profits than NJPW?
>>16288550iyo is doing all that she can and i'm sure joshiGOD regal is pulling all the strings in his book behind the scenes
>>16288787Imagine thinking either of them give a fuck. They have Giulia. That was all WWE ever gave a shit about with Marigold. If they wanted anyone else there they would've already signed them
>>16288445she doesn't even brush her teeth, miyu yamashita has a better chance, though I guess she doesn't have the benefit of being aligned with all the wwe girls like utami is
>>16288759No lad, I'm saying that going by statistics and what basic info we have, when comparing promotions Marigold can't be that bad off unless everyone else, including NJPW, is absolutely fucked as well.
>>16288307Joshi scene is going to get carved up by the US.Stardom is foolishly tethering themselves to AEW, while WWE seems okay with having their stars on Marigold and vice versa. This cooperation will probably increase over time, especially if Marigold is in financial trouble.Reminder that Vince secretly sponsored ECW to set them up for a take over after they ran out of money. Same will happen with Marigold.
>>16288843Same happened with SMW. I don't think they will buy out Marigold though, probably just ask them to let them partner up more to make running Japan and scouting talent easier.
>>16288842You arr actually retarded
>>16288853Yeah they will not publicly buy them out since Japs would consider Marigold "un-japanese" if that happened. It will be a senior-junior partnership though with talent exchanges where its clear WWE is the ultimate goal of Marigold talent. Turning it into "Performance center east" over time.
>>16288874>Turning it into "Performance center east" over timerossy already got fooled into thinking the fed was going to ask him to run NXT japan, they won't actually let him do that, it won't turn into this
>>16288874Only thing is that there is ultimately only so much joshi WWE could ever need, so it would have to balance out somewhat in terms of what both sides benefit from.
WWE wanted Giulia, maybe Utami too.That's all
>>16288434Why the fuck do you think I should care how much a fake fighter is paid? They're circus clowns, have gen jump out of a car and throw some pies in faces and that's it. I don't give a flying fuck if they're paid a dollar or a million and if you do then you're a genuinely pathetic mark
>>16288474They have still made $0 profit and have spent over half a billion of Tony's Dad's money
>>16288307no shit, there's zero interest in them outside of their first show
>>16288354dumb as fuck take. AEW's existence forced WWE to improve drastically
>>16288973the product is still as bad as it was before aew, only difference is that aew turned out to be so much worse that everyone just flocked back to the wwe
>>16288307Rossy can't afford to sustain a photobook company
>>16288354True
>>16288307what 8 promotions are above them?
>>16288962Marigold has made 0 money and Rossy is running out of retirement money
>>16289034This but AEW
>>16288973What? WWE got even worse after AEW started. Vince didn't give a fuk.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAI LOVE LAUGHING AT WWE!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>16288307>What happened to Marigold?Rossy Pedogawa
>>16288307plebbitfag headcanon aside, marigold sucks
>>16288307>they've been drawing 500-600 at korakuen lmao no they haven't, they're barely getting 300 to those shows now >>16288346pure headcanon >>16288450I think you'll find it's actually maricold who's failing and not AEW who just got a big fat tv rights increase lol>>16288483cause maricolds only fans are Rossy simps who have a hate boner for AEW cause Rossy does
>>16288498>>16288499to be honest it's not edrones this time, it's retarded Rossy simps who hate AEW even more just cause Rossy does
>>16288509any other year it would be Rossy but the Vince shit is just next level
>>16288550WWE got what they wanted out of maricold, guilia, they aren't interested in any of the green shitters maricold has
>>16289149aew fans are STILL upset they didn't get the Giulia and Utami toys lmao
>>16288842>NJPW 2700 average attendance>marigold not even cracking 300 average attendance you can't seriously be comparing these 2 companies lmao
>>16288823well they did want others, but they assumed Rossy would be able to pull off the mass walkout from stardom which didn't happen lol and they only wanted other stardom wrestlers not the green shitters marigold ended up with
You posted pure fanfic. TJPW does worse Korakuen numbers
>>16289164>NJPW: est. 1972>DSFM: est. 2024NJPW is ice fucking cold
>9th That’s not even remotely true
Ice Ribbon did 300 at Korakuen and TJPW did 600 last they were. Marigold outdrew both of those. Sounds like a Reddit seether
>>16288843why would WWE buy marigold? it isn't worth anything, they don't even own their own ring, ECW had a tape library, popular wrestlers and a rabidly loyal fanbase, marigold has none of these>Stardom is foolishly tethering themselves to AEWschizo
I’m sure this random reddit post has all the info
Marigold has better attendance than the non Stardom joshi promotions
>>16289037Tony isn't running out of money lol
>>16289182Tony doesn't have any money to run out of. You mean Shad.
>>16289174>Marigold outdrew both of thoseRossy is lying about attendance figures lol
Will Hunter give Rossy a job if Marigold folds?
>>16289185Tony's personal networth is 1.5 billion, he isn't gonna run out of money lol
>>16289187>Hardcam side
>>16289180oh yeah they're really drawing in the crowds lmao
>>16289197>n-n-n-nooo that's the hard cam side, they draw trust mekwab
>>16289191nope, hunter owes him nothing, Rossy promised WWE the pick of stardoms roster and he couldn't deliver, hunter has guilia already so he doesn't need Rossy for anything else
>>16289207No one in the ring. Show me the crowd with action in the ring. Otherwise miss me with that twitter shit

>>16289356the product is fucking shit lol
>>16288307Nice headcanon
>>1628836290% of their roster is ugly bitches
I don't keep up with joshi stuff at all, but didn't everyone used to like Rossy? Like Meltzer's readers voted him a better booker than Triple H. What caused opinion of him to shift so radically?
>>16288973WWE improved when Vince was ousted for being a pervert, which would've happened if Tony Khan had never been born.
>>16289542he has a cult like fanbase of simps who think he's the greatest promotor ever, most people don't think twice about him
>>16288307MARICOLDITS MOLTEN ICE
>>16288620I went to a marigold show about a month ago and there was tons of merch available to buy before and after the show. It was all the same shit. Coombooks, photos of the wrestlers wearing bikinis, polaroid photos of the wrestlers, etc. didnt seem like a lot moved
>>16289197That is where 850 of the 1450 seats are. He also removes rows from the floor. Supposed to be ten rows of chairs on the floor and he had four setup.
>>16289220during the main event
>>16289629grim
Traitors deserve everything bad in their lives
ROSSY WON
>#9are there really that many promotions
Mayu Iwatani:After a night has come and gone, I’m feeling more damaged than ever, but the feeling of fulfillment is unbelievable!With so many female wrestlers gathering together, and now that Stardom has become the number one group in Japan, I feel like I was able to have a match that surpassed the best bout with the OG wrestler Momo and for the IWGP Women’s title match.I’m so happy to have stayed with Stardom and feel even more certain that it was the right decision!OH NO ROSSY LOST
Maybe MIRAI as the Ace was not the best idea
>>16289703She's not even the ace. He's pretty much buried her to push the AWG and Mai Sakurai. Rossy pushes based on merch sales and the AWG brought their simps with them. Miku Anou and Kouki brought the most fans so they're push heavily.
>>16289715nah, I have to mute their social media because I got tired of them posting her ugly face
>>16289703Mirai's white belt run was a disaster I wish I could forget
Rossy can turn Marigold around is he implements a Junior division
>>16289542He didn't let Tony play with his toys.>>16289593They don't have cheki out on tables, so what are you talking about? You pay then randomly recieve a cheki.
>>16289752oh, so even greener shitters than the ones he's already got? lmao
>>16289796nope, it was Rossy being a whiney child cause TK told him riho is not gonna take the pin in the match Rossy booked her for while she was on loan from AEW
>>16289805Junior = underage kids
>>16289812so green as goose shit children that he can groom and abuse
>>16289192Tony's personal net worth is $0. He doesn't even own a home, it's owned by one if his Dad's companies. AEW is also owned by majority by Shad.
>>16289898cope harder
>>16288958>Why the fuck do you think I should care how much a fake fighter is paid?And yet you're tripping over yourself to talk about how much the fake fighting company is making and spending and how it's running its business. You're the worst kind of disingenuous piece of shit
>>16289152Oh for sure. Rossy still has a company (for now). Vince locked in his spot days into the year

>>16289703Mirai has never been treated as the ace in Marifold retardDrossy has buried her wherever he could even after getting the loudest pops and engagement at Marigold Fields ForeverHe only gave her the tag titles in a panic after backlash from kwabbing her at Bummer Deadtome
>>16288346Tiny is an irrelevant cuck who can't even milly. Get his small cock out of your mouth tranny. Tiny will never have any influence on the business.

>>16290597save Misa Matsui
>>16289669yes
>>16289593drossy is and has always been just a pornographer masquerading as a wrestling promoter
>>16289542Drossy got his own promotion for a second time which he had full and complete control over, only for it to be an inferior product with no merit to speak of and multiple easily identifiable flaws even a teenager should have been able to avoid.
>>16289464Drossy picked this over MIRAI.But Japanese women wrestlers suck in general.
They should pay Meltzer to give them good pr like aew does.
>>16289156Giulia was going to WWE before she ever left Stardom. She delayed going to WWE to help get Marigold off the ground.
>>16290628When Marigold opened Meltzer was simping for them because Sonny was feeding them information. The most ridiculous one was this:"Taro Okada had recently attempted to get a deal to air (STARDOM) shows live on WRESTLE UNIVERSE, but they went with Rossy Ogawa’s Marigold group instead." - WONWhen Stardom has their own video service and so does NJPW.
>>16290632Rossy gaslighted WWE into pretending that them taking Giulia was a huge issue for Marigold and then leveraged it to get Iyo Sky for Summer Destiny.
>>16288362one of the main reasons I never gave Marigold a chance was because I was so sick of this bitch getting pushed down my throat in Stardom
>>16288307>Source: some random gaylord on reddit with 42 upvotesI came here looking for good bants, not this weak pussy shit
>>16289986Oh well if Google AI says it>>16290148Seethe harder bitchtits
>>16289169Pretty sure everyone's attendance is down because the Japanese economy is shit but I also think Koda's booking hasn't done any favors. It's spent the last few years trying to be more serious but the wrestlers aren't of the sawdusting King's Road variety and wrestle a more basic style so while the matches can be really good, they're not good in the "wannabe AJW" way of Stardom or whatever and there's not enough focus on cute antics, there aren't any faces/heels anymore, etc. 2019 was pretty much it's peak then it's like Koda never really recovered from the covid era.
This board is legitimately the most wrongest, most retarded, most low IQ and consistently delusional place on this entire site. Finding a post on here by someone who is not mentally ill is a rarity.
>>16290675So you're in the right place then
>>16290686No, it's why I've been slowly leaving this place and judging by the board activity so have many others
>>16290624>second timeThird. He got Aja and Mariko to leave and set up ARSION which then turned into AtoZ when he drove off them and Ayako.
Rossy gambled and thought it'd be an AJPW situation where 99% of the Stardom girls would bail to join Marigold. Instead he got Utami and a bunch of literal whos. Even if Triple H guaranteed that Rossy could use Asuka, Kairi, Iyo, and Giulia anytime he wants even that wouldn't help much.
>>16290659>Seethe harder bitchtitsAnd yet you can't say I'm wrong
>>16289464Many people are saying this
>>16290675I know. There were a bunch of losers on here who thought Mayu was going to leave her highest paid joshi job in Stardom to work for Marigold lol. How retarded can you be to think that?
>>16290666Attendance is down all around because the product is bad.
>>16289665What did he win exactly?
>>16290776KWABOTY
>>16288354>>16288346>aew outta nowhere
>>16288331Not only all that, but they had someone you had to try hard to fail with in Utami but fucked her over from day one by putting her in stupid card placements.Somehow they managed to kill off any heat Bozilla had.Then there's the matter of Sareee, who I like, but it's pretty clear she's only the champion to big league everyone else at the expense of the whole company.A lot of these girls just aren't ready for the big time and drag their boring ass in Korakuen Hall matches. Yuzuki is the one future star rookie they can still pull the trigger on though.
>>16288346if he didnt take them the fed would have
>>16291253The fed couldnt give a single fuck about b-lister joshis
>>16291261This. They don't even care about some of the top names. Look at how Sareeeee's run went. Not all of them can translate to an american audience like Asuka. Kairi needs the crutch of having others around her. Iyo's done well. Giulia has promise but main roster is still a very different place than NXT and if they're not just planning to lump her in with Damage Control then we'll see how that goes. But yeah there's no one in WWE lining up to sign Mirai or Mai Sakurai etc
>>16288362>>16290648>she's still over with the Jap fanbase>she hasn't even been pushed that hard in Marigold aside from playing the distant second to Sakurai who Rossy is obviously pushing more as a major player in the promotion than Mirai
>>16291272Sareee was a victim of gimmick fuckery, the covid era and NXT's worst year of nepotismHHH had high hopes for her but wasn't fronting NXT anymore
>>16291296I mean this all sounds like a cope and nothing that couldn't have happened to any of those other names I listed who are faring well in WWE
>>16291416None of them had to make a cringe magical nerd girl work in a company where its already hard enough for asians to get over in and not get superpushed like Asuka's first 2 years in the wwe
>>16290699Ok bye then
>>16290735You're wrong.
Good, bring Utami back home. She needs to fix Saya.
>>16291610Utami has earned a title shot against Sareee in January, it's just that she feels like sort of an afterthought in Marigold and has to shadow Kouki now to even get attention
>>16288307Rossy could have bowed out gracefully and retired a wealthy man and now he's just actively harming the business while putting himself into the poor house
>>16291649Tf are you on about, he's isn't going to be poor at any point with the salary Cyberagent gives him. Not to mention the company is not even thru its first year but he's somehow harming himself and the business so cool it with the shittake.
>>16291700I don't see any evidence why they'd give a massive contract to a new company like that
>>16291610I don't think Saya is the one that needs fixing
>>16291296>Sareee was a victim of gimmick fuckeryThe magical girl gimmick was good and was always going to be more over than Generic Mid Japanese Woman Who Does a Basement Dropkick. Sareeeeee bitched because she wanted to be a super serious wrestler and that was never going to get over.
>>16291649That's the funniest thing about this whole situation. Stardom was Rossy's lucky break. He failed with Arsion, failed with JDStar and was getting by by being Fukas manager, promoting her self-produced Shinkiba shows, before she retired. And his story as a promoter would most likely end here, being a largely irrelevant footnote and failure in wrestling history, whose biggest accomplishment was being the guy who brought the Matsunaga brothers their coffee during AJWs peak.But then Yuzuki Aikawa gets cast in some wrestling themed TV drama and she decides to get actual wrestling training to prepare, with her trainers being Nosawa and Fuka. Fuka then links her up with Rossy and a year later, Stardom is born. Stardom then, almost instantly, rises to the top of a pretty much dead joshi scene and stays there, with some ups and downs.And when Bushiroad takes over and triples the fanbase, it's fair to say that this was Rossy's one success. So instead of taking the W, retire a winner, all past failures forgotten, he's now setting himself up to go down with yet another failed promotion.
>>16288346>Tony took all their stars for his failing toy fedTony took literally no one from NOAH, AJPW or Dragon Gate and they're also struggling, even though they all have way better young talent than NJPW does. Why is this?
>>16291866He could have still just booked a few big shows a year. Anyone he wanted would show up and he'd make money while still being around.
>>16288307Nanae. Asuka confirmed that she's an Anti-Draw. Hopefully Sareee finishes Nanae off.
>>16291938I wonder why a 45 year old butch lesbian isn't a big draw for a pedophile coomer fed
>>16291807>The magical girl was goodYou got to be trolling my nigga the shit was career cancer.>Sareeeeee bitchedDidnt happen. First of all they fed her to Mandy like the rest of the roster. Then put over Tiffany in a bully angle. Then the whole time she was in Chase U they barely had her in the ring at that point so she was just a prop for promos by year end. Never complained the whole time. She did what she was told ran out her contract and left. It was the right decision also.
>>16291261true, the Rossy simps were delusional as fuck to think WWE would partner with such a shitty little start up
>>16292427Don't forget to add they hyped up that big match with Meiko for weeks then had to shitcan it out of the blue for some reason. They never used her right.
>>16292461They already did, dumbass. And the context of the argument in question was about puroresu dudes leaving for AEW you fucking little dopey smoothbrain. Go wipe your ass.
>>16292570keep seething rossysimp lmao there is no partnership, WWE just wanted guilia, they have no reason to do anything with maricold ever again
Why do gringos only care about random nobodies flippers from Japan instead of watching superior Mexican lucha Libre? Are they dumb?
>>16293375Because Las Toxicas hasn't made anal porn yet

>>16293670He needs to influence his creative space cause his show suck dick so do you btw
>>16291577Kairi is a fucking pirate
>>16291595Kek got me
>>16291866>failed with JDStarRossy was never involved with JDStar. He was running ARSION/AtoZ while JDStar was running and both closed at roughly the same time.
>>16288450>>16288458I don't understand why people still don't understand that the only things that AEW needs to exist are:1) Tony Khan doesn't get bored of it.2) Shahid Khan doesn't get sick of his nerd son wasting tens' of millions of dollars a year on a wrestling showFor 1, well TK is a massive mark, if Shahid died and left Tony everything, TK would probably rather sell the sports teams and the car business before giving up on AEW.For 2, if Shahid hasn't given up on it by now, he's probably never going to until he dies.
>>16293731No, there's a difference. That was her Stardom gimmick where she was already well known and super liked worldwide and everybody knew her as that, a pirate. A gimmick that she eventually dropped btw, because it wasn't getting over on the main rosterKairi and Sareee aren't even the same kind of wrestler. Sareee was never a gimmick joshi. And I guarantee you only a handful of Americans only knew who Sareee was at that point.What I'm saying is magical schoolgirl was some dumb badly thought out horseshit they experimented with thinking it would appeal to weebs because the show had turned into 2.0 and it was all about revisiting stupid Bruce Pritchard-style gimmicks. Hers was totally dead in the water after a few months. Most of those ideas never worked out. Chase U is still around as its the only idea from that era that seemed to work and progress to what it is now.
>>16293829cope harder lol
>>16293829It was marginally over and would have remained over if they'd kept her with Chase U or had the feud with Tiff lead to an Odd Couple tag team. She doesn't have much in the way of charisma and she'd a good but not generational worker and everyone who was aware of her said she'd fail WWE.
>>16288962Wow they've spent maybe 4% of Shad's money? Look out.
Rossy Lost
>>16288398>Dimeless stay at home shitters will have to actually work to earn their moneyThat'd be gr8 yes
I think the Iyo was the final nail in their coffin. There was this narrative that she was supposedly the best and super popular joshi, so people were hyped when she was announced for Summer Destiny, but when they failed to sell out a small bingo hall any and all illusions of Marigold being a serious competitor and alternative to Stardom were shattered. It's even worse because they weren't even remotely close to selling out that venue, so both Marigold and Iyo sadly never recovered. Rossy should have asked for some of the NXT girls because they've been popping off lately and could have been used in more than just one matchup.
>>16288307it's the sonny gutierrez phenomena, the company made it's introduction, then stumbled over the bottom rope into oblivion
>>16295485many are saying this
>>16295516It's still the highest attended joshi show of the year, at least until Dream Queendom next month which will probably do 3.5-4k.
>>16293822>wasting tens' of millions of dollars a yearif you're already a billionaire, indulging your son with this kind of money is really nothing.
>>16296635yes, that's the point.Like, if I were Tony Khan and my dad basically handed me a blank cheque to spend ten's of millions a year, I'd have bought a football club in Australia (using the excuse of having a partner scouting club for Fulham) and sat by ocean banging asians and blonde instagram models in a mansion while siphoning as much of the money to my personal accounts as I could.
>>16293822Shad doesn't care because AEW is a drop in the bucket in his total fortune. Hell he probably saves more money in using AEW as tax write offs than Tony can blow in signing half of the NJPW roster.
You know who doesn't have billions of dollars to waste on a vanity wrestling promotion?Drossy Ogawa
lossy okwaba
>>16295516Was Iyo even popular in Japan? I feel like she was always Asuka's jannetty over there
>>16296522Historic X-Over drew more, so its second. WWE isn't a joshi company like NJPW so seems fair to compare.
>>16297056Sup tourist
>>16296522>It's still the highest attended joshi show of the year,The point is the perception of the event and state of the company. You could say that All In was AEW's most attended event of the year, but anyone who went there would see a half empty arena and think "wow, they're not doing great".
>>16297056Obviously why do you think WWE went after herShe was one of the top women of Joshi when she wrestled in JapanShe still has the longest red Belt title reign of over 1000 days and is ahead of everyone else by a landslide
>>16297057I don't think that's fair to compare at all tbqhwyf. If it was a co-branded Marigold/WWE show sure, but it just had one member of the WWE roster as a special attraction
>>16298079Even Rossy said Iyo sold 800+ tickets the day she was announced. Without WWEs involvement the show would have been a flop.
>>16298079No one was buying tickets because of her time in the WWE
>>16295272Not that Shad is broke or anything but net worths are a meme. They add up a potential total asset value by generally guessing (though informed and researched guessing). The problem with this is that asset value and sale value to liquidise wealth are extremely different thing. Most billionaires liquidise now through securing money against their assets or dividends on stock. There's only very few like Gates who had actual liquid cash to hand and even then it was mostly locked up in various trusts.A good example with the problem of net worth that's in the news are farmers. Farmers are millionaires but many live hand to mouth. The reason being that the land they own is worth millions but they can't actually sell that land because without it they can't grow crops which means they're broke.Not really related to wrestling but I fancied blogging.
>>16299148The Khans seem to have a ton of liquidity on top of their assets. And if they say wanted to drop the Jags they'd easily get way more than they paid for them.
>>16299200Yeah they seem to make a lot of investments in property and as Angel investors for local projects which you'd assume means they are doing well in terms of liquidity. I do wonder in what order the sports/entertainment businesses would be sold if some catastrophic event happened. Presumably Fulham would go before AEW or Jags or FnG. FnG is the huge money maker, Jags seems to be useful politically in the area and AEW is Tony's passion. Obviously they'd just sell portions in reality but I do think this is their order of importance.
>>16299233They'd sell a Jags stake first, then Fulham, then the Jags and I don't think AEW will ever be sold unless there is some kind of acquisition deal where Tony is still around.
>>16289464Feels like the point of japanese wrestling is showboating and bikini pics. They don't seem to care about in-ring stuff at all and it shows.Then again, I look at Liv Morgan and see the west is headed in the same direction.
they suck, simple asreal bitches want aew/stardom (utami can come back)
>>16300587>Kenny wonBiggest pedophile of the year award

>>16300624kenny killed more japanese tuna than fukushima but keep gooning to utamis man as to zero viewers on marigold you fucking wwe mark
>>16300655None of them of legal age though KWAP. Also weren't you just begging for Utami, bitch?
>>16300590Rough day to be a Kenny Opedo fan
>>16300590He has the lifetime achievement award already
>>16300590Oof, rough.
>>16300670parroting isn't going to help since you have zero arguementyoung players should be kept far away from rossy the actual pedophile predator
>>16300590Brvtal.
the maripedos are trying to cope
>>16300720You're so mad
>>16300722rossy pedogawa's shitty company will fucking die because he's a fucking fraudthe players will live on under tony khan's grrand chiristian umbrella

>>16291866I wouldn't call Bushiroad's success Rossy's success at allhe's never succeeded on his own merit which is a failure in itself
>>16300590They did not like this one
What's with all the insane tranny headcanon in this thread?
>>16300733you watch 14 year olds stumble around in marigoldsorry, these hoes should be sent to war and not hiki incels i want to slip into the night and take the life of every hiki that fucks with a player ever againits the only way to stop another hanaif you think you are cool go to the fucking gym and get job. you cant fuck female wrestlers you fucking retards.
>>16300762Are you ESL?
>>16300762>you cant fuck female wrestlers you fucking retardsYou probably can if you're on the East Coast indies
>>16300762Female wrestlers do fuck fans, ask Sasha
>>16300789sasha left you
>>16300790Nah she left Mikaze
>>16289542Rossy has a 1-4 win/loss record running promotions but the one win was a BIG win with Stardom and newfag fans ignored his past history of failure.He tried to recreate the magic with Fuka and Nanae, maybe the whole it was Natsuki...Stardom took years to build so don't expect Marigold to be good in-ring for 3-4 years.
>>16300590Kenny is not beating the allegations
>>16293811Rossy became an advisor to jdstar after arsion died. He started implementing his usual gimmicks like lucha masks, tournaments, etc. it was probably gonna fail anyway, but he sped up the process.
>>16300798she left the e drone? wow
>>16300761One tranny is very upset that Rossy doesn't want to share his toys with Tony KWAB so much so that he makes daily threads throwing tantrums about it
>>16289809>Rihonot a name I've heard in a long time.Is she really having Kenny's baby?
>>16300815Kenny has never seen a legal woman naked so no
>>16300807She left her gay husband to go have orgies with fans, it's quite funny
>>16300819bruh you just know this pussy okwaba fan has a collection
>>16300814Is this hogwheels aka liceman?
>>16300823i saw her interviews on it and she was wreckedi dont think this is accurate
>>16300823And now she's a childless slut wrestling on a show that will never do 700k again? Very sad.
>>16300830Wrecked by what?
>>16300655first part popped me
>>16300833you will never get 1 female
>>16300838Yeah, they're not property, you can't own them anymore
>>16290675yeah when these nerd faggots ran /oz/ off the board it's been nothing but shit for the joshi stuff
>>16300836Fans
>>16300836by having a like 5 year relationship fall apartmost you had was a 5 minute relationship so it's weird fr
>>16300842lol if it was the 1800s the birch wranglers would kill you the second you walked into the bar
>>16300850Learn English
>>16300845Didnt the ozceo have a mental breakdown over stardom and then kill himself when hazuki and koguma won their oz match
>>16300826Afraid so
>>16293811he was in it's 3rd or so iteration, I think it was Jd' Star or some some shit. Fuka was the ace there and money marked the old owners of Shin-Kiba.
>>16300852learn cleaning horse shit since your 15 year old old paramour that is competing with your incel ass just wrangled 100 cattle and cut down 50 trees last weekmeanwhile you jerked off to a hentai where he chick was a mean girlboss
>>16288307You can throw all the tantrums you want but Rossy still wont share his toys with Tiny Khan
>>16300869Is this AI generated?
>>16300590Sad yet true
>>16300875no im retarded
>>16300883Sorry for your insanity
>>16299589Watch Seadlinng, Oz Academy or Sendia Girls if you want to watch actual wrestling
>>16300886>Seadlinngbad news about that one
>>16300885you're welcome
>>16288307Still Tony.
>>16300854>Didnt the ozceo have a mental breakdownI doubt Ozaki had a mental breakdown over a match she booked.
>>16300896Everyone said this
>>16300890oh did they finally die?
>>16300896Afraid so, afraid so.
>>16300896Kek, I must say that I do love laughing at AEW
>>16300908no, but they might as well be
>>16300922Don't we all?
>>16300922I do also share this sentiment
>>16300922Get in line then
>>16300896With the threepeat?
>>16300966Afraid so
>>16300896Man if what I'm hearing is true... Poor Tony
>>16300901Ozcel who made the threads
>>16300966Meltzer has said so
>>16300896A harrowing tale if true
>>16300966Anything is possible through the KWABside
>>16300896Bad day to be a tranny that worships that guy
>>16301021Isn't that literally every day for AEWtists?
>>16301029I am afraid that it might indeed be the case
>>16301034Very unfortunate
>>16300590This is harsh
>>16300896He has to be after Rampage was cancelled
>>16301055So it's true, the professional wrestling show known as AEW Rampage was taken off TV and canceled?
>>16301062Very harsh assessment there, but it's indubitably the truth too. Rampage is gone, forever. Sad.
>>16301055Must've been due to the piss poor ratings
>>16301078Some say that was indeed the cause
>>16301087They would be correct
>>16301099Grim
>>16288307Rossy won
>>16301119Afraid fucking so
>>16301119He's like a chessmaster
>>16301119Always does, always, no exception
>>16301119That's why we respect him
>>16301119Based
>>16301119How does he always do it
>>16301119I've heard this being said too
>>16301119This is a fact
>>16301119*bows down*
>>16301119Many intelligent, handsome people have said this
>>16301119He really did kek
