Wrestle Kingdom 9 came and went, leaving many wrestling fans with high amounts of praise. This particular show, under the New Japan Pro Wrestling guise, has become quite favorable amongst wrestling fans and I was surprised by what I saw this past Sunday as well. As someone who hasn't been heavily involved in NJPW, I came away impressed. One has to wonder, though, if Long Island advertising agencies could have made this show even greater.
One of the defining traits of Wrestle Kingdom 9, in my view, was the collaboration done with Global Force Wrestling. Without this, it is unlikely that it would have aired in North America, especially with the commentary done by Jim Ross and Matt Striker. I felt like this helped the show, as a viewer, because it allowed me to better understand who everyone was and what their goals were. Even those who aren't privy to NJPW could get into the show rather quickly.
A show like this can only be judged by its action, though, which is what it delivered. It seemed like Wrestle Kingdom 9 incorporated a number of styles, ranging from old-school professional wrestling to mixed martial arts. No two matches felt the same, which meant that the action felt like it was always moving. Given the fact that Wrestle Kingdom 9 is about five hours long - the longest wrestling show I've ever sat through - a rapid pace was appreciated.
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.
Of course, expansive advertising or not, there's no denying the fact that Wrestle Kingdom 9 is an event that has been able to achieve tremendous degrees of respect. It's an event that has shown nothing but the best of what professional wrestling has to offer. Everything about the show, to my perspective, worked, ranging from the action itself to the strong commentary throughout. If more of these shows make their way stateside, I may have to pay closer attention.
