With Festival Hall being so small - and without really having a bad seat - the obvious risk here is that the Gold & Silver seats are going to sell like crazy, and no one is going to buy VIP & Premium seats. Those prices are crazy for a first time tour of a product that doesn’t have any footing in Australia at the moment.
But I guess they felt that Kazuchika Okada drew so well on his own for Melbourne City Wrestling at their “November Rain” show (which moved to a lager venue) they feel it justifies the cost for a full NJPW show.
So excited about this! Have been eagerly awaiting NJPW’s arrival to Australia ever since Meltzer reported it might happen over a year ago. No Omega, Naito or Takahashi though.
MCW have their Clash of the Titans event on the weekend after. Any chance any NJPW talent will stick around for that show? (it so far only has Ospreay announced)
Takahahi is being promoted as appearing is Australia, however the card is always subject to change. As for the other two you noted, Meltzer stated on "Wrestling Observer Radio that Naito was already booked in the United Stated that weekend, while Kenny Omega has re-enter contract negotiations with NJPW.
Well of the last few shows, Bad Luck Fale & “Mr Juciy” Gino Gambino have appeared on some, however I doubt it that any of the NJPW guys would stay at the week as the following weekend is the “Honor Rising” card, both of which in 2017 featured alot of NJPW Talent.
You’re right, they will most likely be tied up with Honor Rising.
Where have you seen that Takahashi’s appearing? Unless you thought I meant Tanahashi… Also no Ibushi. Still looks amazing though. Was afraid we wouldn’t get the big names.
