Current incarnation of NJPW STRONG coming to an end, speculation about ROH crossover coming

[Smart Marx]

I’m still a bit confused. Where is Strong on Demand? Is that not on World or is that on Fite?

If it’s on World, not much changes? Just gotta wait?

Strong was already taped at a house show event wasn't it and then cut up into weekly shows?

The only difference is they didn’t try to get people to buy it twice and I can’t fault them for that, tbh.

Strong on demand is on World but it will be replays of the PPVs on Fite. So I won't be watching Strong anymore weekly bc I will watch the PPVs lol the change for me is I now no longer have a weekly Strong show, I might have more PPVs to buy tho since the tapings more or less will be PPVs now. And they won't be taping anything after battle in the Valley for Strong like they would have used to since BITV will just be shown on Strong on Demand

Essentially Strong is dead to me as a weekly TV show bc I'll just watch the live events which I have to pay for on Fite

Its essentially like the show on AXS after Impact, I don't ever watch it bc it's just replays of Japanese shows I've already seen on World

Chris got that disposable income to buy the extra PPV?

And yeah, it should be a monthly PPV now which btw on that front makes me happy. I miss the monthly model. I actually care more about monthly PPV than I do tv shows. Most wrestling companies get a tv deal, but almost no one does monthly supercards.

That’s the formula I grew up on.

 

[Chris]

I'm not that optimistic it will be monthly but yeah I do prefer the tapings just being live bc they were sometimes airing so much later than the actual taping date on World

According to the statement each PPV will be cut into four weeks. I assume they intend to do this is replace the existing weekly tv show in its entirety. They might occasionally take a break, though.

Yeah it sounds to me too like they're planning on monthly shows but since the show is only on World, they don't really have pressure and can take weeks off whenever they want so idk lol I don't think they were doing monthly tapings before, think it was more 6 weeks at a time or so
