Which I'm pretty sure was invented to watch movies illegally on your TV easily

 

[Canadian Dragon]

It's gotten better

 

[Chris]

Njpw world is pretty trash for English users imo

This Roku app was life changing for it, I only use it for World

 

[CakeWalker]

i mean - getting to watch NJPW is english is like a bonus

 

[CakeWalker]

i used to watch it in Japanese and now im spoiled

 

[Chris]

Oh and to watch the one shot special for FMA that I didn't know existed bc they aren't on HBO

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Yeah that's fair lol.

I think TV is what takes a promotion from a niche product to the mainstream. Promotions that do youtube or ppvs or whatever is fine, more power to them, but to make the big money required to sign big stars and put on big shows you have to be on tv weekly to be drawing the required revenue

 

[Chris]

I was annoyed tho bc I got a Roku thinking it had World but no it just had a weekly NJPW TV show that's not what I wanted at all

 

[CakeWalker]

i think in the UK especially

 

[CakeWalker]

I think the 3rd promotion works best as a niche, ECW couldn't keep up

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Well if we're using ecw as an example I dont think the point was ever to be mainstream. I feel these days if you want that indie top spot you can't be too mainstream or u lose the cool factor
