Are you running these all as PPVs?

No not all of them, show 1 was, and I think 3, 7, 9 and the Finals are scheduled as PPV, I kind of tried to mirror the G1 feel of having some BIG shows in the middle of the tour


The problem is Ibushi wants time off right now, and I'm not sure what to do, will working shorter easier matches appease him, or is it going to get much worse if I keep booking him?

What's his physical tab look like? Working shorter matches will help, having limited involvement in a multiman can help (but lower the grade)

Also good, running too many PPVs can burn out the fans.

He's all 97-99s in physical, and he really can't work multiman matches since he's booked for G1, I think he's supposed to have 6 more singles matches in the next month? I guess I'll see if he can work through it, gulp(BTW this is after show 3 which I ran just havent uploaded yet)

You should be fine then

TBK, it might be because Kota has a dual contract with DDT. Perhaps he is working too many dates a month between the two?

It very well could be, sadly the tourney is booked and I just hope he doesn't get hurt



Jericho's getting cut pretty soon after G1, after the tourney he's going to go on a series of jobs for everyone in the promotion then i'm going to fire him

Edit: I know it was because it was their 4th match in under 6 months, but still he also stunk it up with Ibushi

Semis are
Nakamura v Karl Anderson
AJ v Tanahashi

The common factor is age, Jericho, Berto etc are aging and thus the skill deterates over time.

G1 Finals!

and Sho Tanaka makes his main show debut, I've had the Young Lions for a year, time to give them a push and see if they can go or not

pretty crummy house show to set up Destruction

For older guys I recommend touring contracts. Once the tours over you cn bring them back for the next tour or not. Less cost to get rid of.
