They'll be selling tickets at the building for Yokohama arena and I really wouldn't worry about a sell out. I was going to blue in the cheap seats (till work got in the way, grr) which were 3500 advanced and 4 grand on the day, about 40,45 Dollars I guess. Say hi to WH when you're there.

So just turn up to the arena on the day a little before start time? Awesome, thanks. I'm going to my first live Raw in London next week, so it's going to be an interesting contrast going to NJPW less than a week later.

Few questions. I don't care if they are on the air or answered here.
1. I am looking at a company like Michinoku Pro and am wondering how on earth they are still in business. Who is funding them and why haven't they fallen off by now? Over 20 years now. That is amazing.
2. How much crossover is present for fandom of the various promotions in Japan? For instance, do New Japan fans support Noah/All Japan? Do DDT fans support New Japan? Fans of Indy's in America have a certain type of perceived intelligence when compared to the typical WWE fan. Is that the same over there?

I want to ask you hosts another question, something I brought up in another thread: if CM Punk wants to return to wrestling again, do you guys think All Japan or Pro Wrestling NOAH should go out of their ways to take him? I know All Japan can use a talent like him. If either feds succeeds, he can be an asset, and looking back from another future eon, he can also be a living legend (no offence, Larry).

I would think that Michinoku Pro would have: 1. Homegrown talent that they made themselves 2. Original storylines 3. None of the mistakes that the other, bigger feds in this world, USA or Japan I've never seen Michinoku Pro myself, but if there is a fed, any fed, that follows those guidelines, it will last perhaps years more.

'Summerslam' (if that is your real name)- did you make it to the show? Post your thoughts and we'll read them on air. Next show will be in a couple of weeks with our BOSJ impressions.

If Punk goes to new Japan, I think he'd die there.

Hey CC and WHP - enjoy every episode of your show.
I was wondering if you could explain the development of Shinsuke Nakamura's character to some of the people knew to Japanese wrestling. I know that about ten years ago, he was a pretty ordinary-looking Japanese wrestler, and then a few years ago, this unhinged Michael Jackson / Jeff Hardy / King of Strong Style character with international appeal appears.
Was the change in look and style a sudden one, or did it morph organically into the Nakamura that we see today? I ask this because I think he's currently got the most interesting presentation in wrestling today.
Thanks!

Where's Masahiro Chono now? Is he still an advisor for All Japan. After Mutoh taking a bunch of his loyalists to Wrestle-1, I thought that, being a good friend to Mutoh, Chono would go there with him.

Hey guys,
Just joined the board after being a long time listener and have caught every episode of JAW since the begining. Love it a lot and gives me a huge understanding of the puro I love but missed out on growing up. I have a question for you guys. I know this is a bit of fantasy booking but its really to get a grasp on some guys outside of New Japan and Dragon Gate as these are the only two promotions I follow (DG mainly thanks to their inclusion in ROH all those years ago). So question. If NOAH, W-1 and All Japan were to merge. Who would be your top 4 Heavyweights you would build this 'new promotion' around? Ild like to hear your opinions on those out of the somewhat obvious like Funaki, Akiyama and the like. Also maybe if you could name a couple juniors yould like to build around aswell.
Thanks heaps guys!
Adam from Wellington, New Zealand.

'Summerslam' (if that is your real name)- Funny. But yea, Fellas, When Sasuke was at his peak during the mid 90s, did New Japan ever try to sign him full time? Maybe not because he was running M=Pro? You can answer it here.

How come in the G-1 and in NJPW in general, AJ Styles doesn't use some of his his more signature moves from his TNA days like Spiral Tap and the Stylin' DDT ?
