The "I" in IWGP

[One to Remember]

If WWE dominates the American seen with its brand of wrestling then one conclusion comes to mind. With the fall of the AWA, NWA, and WCW there is no longer any TRUE oposition. In fact the capeabilities of most federations isn't even at ECW levels yet. Enter the Land of the Rising Son. The Japanese islands are a hot bed of wrestling companies that do have arms that can reach on an international level and these companies even go so far as to call most titles international but the fact of the matter is that is just a lie. Advocates of Puroresu are kick to punce on (North) American fans for their shanty knowledge but are they at fault? I don't believe their ignorance is their problem. Some proponents actually have the nerve to block non-Puroresu fans from their views declaring them either to "trailor park" are to "WWFish" but these people are casualties of the fall of either ECW or WCW. These people seek lternatives but the companies in the pacific are to lazy and illogical to meet them half way. In PWI we here of Japanese companies on their last legs on their last tours and it makes sense. Japan isnt a continent but look what Japanese companies have access to: Europe, South Korea, Thailand, Australia, Indonesia, South America, southern North America, South Africa,Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Nigeria. Now your OVWs of the World dont have the resources to make that trip. Border City Wrestling is only international because it promotes on the border. If ALL-JAPAN, Tourymon, NEW JAPAN, IWGP, WEW, Big Japan, and ZERO-ONE are ever struggling they know they have themselves to blame! They exaust the wrestling fan base of Japan at truly ignorant rates. IF ONLY THESE COMPANIES COULD BACK THEIR "INTERNATIONAL" MUMBO JUMBO they would be successful, Mutoh would rule the 500 and American fans wouldnt be slobbering and going gah gah for the lame *** IWA-MID SOUTH knock offs circulating. WHEN WILL THESE COMPANIES IN JAPAN GET SEROIUS? Hisa when will it be their turn to educate the "stupid?"

the Land of the Rising Son

It's actually "Land of the Rising Sun."

Anyway, what's your problem really?

[One to Remember]

oh yes I meant Sun. Technical error


But I wan't an alternative to WWE that isnt cheap or requires a satelite.

Dude, it's just a name. For years the "World (Wide) Wrestling Federation" was confined to the Northeastern United States. Wrestling is a work. Chill out.
