This past Sunday, I took it upon myself to watch Wrestle Kingdom 9. For those who do know, this is one of the landmark pay-per-views under the umbrella of New Japan Pro Wrestling. As a longtime wrestling fan myself, I have never seen anything related to NJPW the entire way through. However, after sitting down with it, I was left impressed. It also made me wonder how Long Island advertising agencies could have further marketed the event.
Even though this event has been positive for numerous reasons, one of the most noteworthy was the work done with Global Force Wrestling. For those who do not know, it was because of GFW that Wrestle Kingdom 9 was able to air in North America. The event was made even more special with commentary done by not only Matt Striker but WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross. To say that this helped to make the show itself better would have been an understatement.
Of course, the action itself was tremendous from start to finish. It seemed like just about every match had a purpose and many of them had distinctive feels from one another. Everything from mixed martial arts to outright brawling was covered, which made for a well-rounded show. Styles were varied, which meant that the risk of fatigue was low. As a result, the five-hour show felt like it only went on for about two, which is a positive point to say the least.
Could Long Island advertising agencies have helped to draw further attention to Wrestle Kingdom 9? It's important to consider that these types of agencies would have to place more of an emphasis on social media, seeing as how platforms under this umbrella can help to transmit information at high volumes. Who's to say that it couldn't benefit Wrestle Kingdom 9 in the days leading up to that very event? Only reputable firms such as fishbat could fulfill such an endeavor, though.
With advertising out of the way, though, Wrestle Kingdom 9 is an early candidate for best pro wrestling pay-per-view of 2015. It managed to do everything that a strong wrestling show should be known for: strong action, versatile matches, and commentary that brings attention to said action as opposed to take away from it. Can more of these shows make their way over to the United States? With the success of Wrestle Kingdom 9, I'd like to think that anything is possible.
