The 12/20 Inoki Genome Federation show at the Tokyo Ariake Coliseum only drew about 2,500 fans. The promotion announced 6,233 fans in the 12,000 seat arena, but fell well short of that number. The IGF advertised names like Kurt Angle, Booker T (who was replaced on the show by Kendo Kashin), Josh Barnett and Naoya Owaga for the show. The show also featured A.J. Styles, Senshi, and Chris Moore (Masters).

You know your doomed when Chris Moore doesn't pull in the people.

I dunno, did they put a sombrero on him? If not, that explains the poor draw.

Not that surprised, TNA isn't that big of a draw stateside.

Well, it's not like TNA talent would have helped it any. TNA isn't known in Japan as well as people believe. They would have done better with more homegrown talent. Foreigners are a tough sale in Japan nowadays.

They should have let Daniels use his CurryMan Gimmick and brought in the MCMG's. They're all pretty well known over there.

OK.
Unless it's the wrong show that's posted here and it's another show entirely, Chris Moore and Senshi weren't on the card, and neither was Booker nor the Booker replacement.

Because you were there? No, cause there's a different thread with results from a show with TNA talent. officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=wrestling&action=display&thread=1199449752If it was a different show than thise one mentioned, then nevermind. |

This thread says it's for a 12/20 show The SSS site says the results are for a 1/04 show And the attendance sited on the SSS site is completely different. |

it is a completely different show with a completely different promotion, as the thread title says, igf and new japan arent the same thing even though it does get confusing with the third iwgp title going between them |
