Meeting - Bushiroad HQ - Tokyo, Japan
Team-wide meeting to confirm stage / entrance / venue layout for North American and South East Asian Events.
Core Principles (Boxing / UFC Inspired)
The Ring is the Star
- No massive “stage” like WWE.
- Fighters come from a clean, angled entrance with LED ramp.
- Camera always prioritizes the ring and audience, not the set.
Authentic Sports Layout
- Commentators ringside (like boxing commentary tables, UFC Octagon desk).
- Secondary Announce Table near entrance that includes Analytical Team
- Medical staff/timekeeper in view → reinforces real fight atmosphere.
- Security and commission reps visible near barricades.
Production Philosophy
- Weekly Shows → like a televised fight card (Showtime Boxing, UFC Fight Night).
- PPVs → like a “Superfight” (Canelo, Fury, UFC numbered events) - WrestleKindom / TheOne
- Spotlight on the ring, but crowd also visually promoted.
Minimal Distraction
- LED screens used sparingly (no cartoon graphics).
- Sponsor rotation & instant replays are the primary use of big screens.
- Walkouts use light/fog/LED strips, not giant overproduced stages.
Venue Atmosphere
Weekly TV (Battle, Thursday Night Fights, Fighting Spirit, Strong Style Puroesu)
- Feels like a fight card in a packed arena hall.
- Darkened arena, spotlight on ring.
- Clean announcer desk branded with one/two sponsors.
- Small LED ramp, minimal lights.
PPVs (Wrestle Kingdom, The ONE, GrandSummit, etc.)
- Big fight-night atmosphere.
- LED ramp + side columns + hanging LED cube above the ring.
- Branded barricades (UFC style).
- Camera cranes + crowd lighting for entrances.
TV Presentation
- Hard Cam → Usual Boxing/WWE Position (ring + crowd in view).
- Floor Cams → ringside for action, walkouts.
- Spidercam/Crane → sweeping arena shots for PPV/TV Main Events.
- Crowd Shots → fans lit up only for entrances / big moments.
The beauty of this: once the arena template is locked in, we just swap in:
- Ring ropes/mat (NWA vs IWGP).
- Sponsors (regional differences).
- Walkout music/lighting packages.
- Larger corner entrance for PPV Events - more impressive visuals
That gives total brand unity and keeps the sport-first feel. We hope everyone can agree that this model is the right one for New World Pro-Wrestling.
