I know that when covering a promotion, one should try and be positive, but this has to be mentioned. 9000 fans, a horrible attendance, came into the Nippon Budokan for the final day of the Global Tag League.

Mitsuharu Misawa and young superstar, Go Shiozaki, would walk away the victors in both accounts, as they defeated the team of Sasaki and Morishima to not only claim two more points, but also the Global Tag League. In other league matches, Sugiura picked up another big scalp when he defeated Saito, making this a very successful campaign for him personally. Taniguchi would also pick up another big win, as he cradled up Yone.

Early reports have stated that the black masked figure unveiled himself to KENTA as none-other then Ricky Marvin.

Защо 9 000 да е чак "horrible attendance' колко събира Nippon Budokan ?

[nWoHulkster]

Абе авторът леко се е изхвърлил, според мен. Да, посещаемостта е слаба като се има предвид, че това са финалите на отборния турнир + поредната глава в NJPW vs. NOAH враждата, но все пак NOAH са имали и по-лоши Budokan посещаемостти през последните две-три години, а и не трябва да се забравя, че NOAH наскоро изгуби най-добрата от тв сделките си.

EDIT - A, да. Забравих да отбележа и нещо друго. Това, че "официалната посещаемост" е 9000 въобще не означава, че и истинската е толкова. Все пак това е кеч компания, така че съвсем спокойно може да са сложили 1000-3000 отгоре за пред пресата, а пък колко от истинската посещаемост са paid и колко papered е трети и съвсем различен въпрос.

Залата побира 16,000-17,000. Между другото, това е топ залата на NOAH и е нещо като MSG за WWF преди години, когато болшинството от най-важните мачове са се провеждали именно в MSG.
