Need to see most of this show. Good to see Tanahashi with the belt again.
Will be interesting to see the size of the venues they run in the States in May, they should be bigger than the venues DGUSA run.

NJPW always inflate the attendance figures, it's never true. On a less pedantic note:
Fergal Devitt, still the daddy.

Well, as far as I know, only ZERO1 doesn't inflate them, but that's because they don't even make them public.
Dragon Gate is way worse though (2300 people in a 2100 max capacity arena? Riiiight)

Actually, New Japan's getting less carried away with it. When Inoki was full force in power, now that yes, was overblowing the numbers. For example, in the 2006 Dome Show they claimed 46000, when it was clear from the images that it would be closer to 10000-15000. I would say New Japan got a good crowd this year like around 30000 (with about 20000 paid and the rest papered), and they claim like 50% more.
And again, almost all Japanese companies do that, and most of the main companies around the world do that too.
