Ren Narita has betrayed Shota Umino and left STRONG STYLE to join... House of Torture.

In other news, what the fuck?

Meltzer notes that as of January 5th, the NJPW World subscriber number was up to 95,000 and that they gained 25,000 subscribers in 2 days for Wrestle Kingdom. He mentions that the increase in subscribers is considered to be a "real big success".

From the latest .

Edit: For added context, at this time last year they had an increase of 10,000 subscribers to bring the total to 60,000:

They picked up more than 10,000 new subscribers to New Japan World in a 24 hour period on 1/3 and 1/4, prior to the start of the Tokyo Dome show, bringing the total to about 60,000, an amazing one-day increase of a two-year-old business by 20 percent in 24 hours.

Their billing is stupid. So if you sign up today, you'll be charged for the month of December, even though there's only nine days left. Then on Jan. 1st, you'll be charged again.

So if you're only signing up for WK, you might wanna wait. I made that mistake a couple years ago.

EDIT: I don't mean to imply that it's not worth the money. I'm a year-round subscriber now and I think it's well worth the money. Just wanted to give a heads up that if you started now, you'd be paying full price for 9 days.

There's gonna be a lot of people angry with NJPW by the end of the night I reckon. The pre show loading screen is already buffering for me

Just wanted to give some quick of my thoughts of the revamped NJPW World. For context I haven't watched a full show only a match on a show so IDK if any of my complaints are improved as the shows go on. Also I'm fully aware that most of my complaints with probably get iron out and that the site will look a lot different by this point next year. And I'm comparing this to other Puro streaming sites.

-Positives-

• So far like the new look of it a far improvement over the Old NJPW World look

• The Video Player so far works fine

• Is very fast and to the point when you're changing videos

-Negatives-

• So far no 1080p video quality (at least on my end)

• No Video Quality options (ie stuff like 720p)

• Not a fan of the video pausing when you open the Video Settings

• In the "New Release" Page section some of the shows are either missing or in the wrong order for example Royal Quest 3 isn't there even though you can watch it on the site and the Oct 7th Road to Destruction show is further then the actual Sumo Hall Destruction show which was 2 days later.

Even though I have a lot complaints but all those can easily be improved in the coming days, weeks and Months. And I'm generally excited for the new Revamp site and to compare it this point next year to see if its improved or not.

Can't a damn thing to play. Everything is just buffering and then times out. Just trying to watch BitV and I've completely avoided spoilers and I guess it's all for not. I'll be cancelling my subscription.

They really screwed the pooch on this relaunch.

For the first time since winning the NJPW World Television Championship, Matt Riddle went to a 15-minute time limit draw against Jake Omen at Squared Circle Expo IV’s “Parade Of Champions”.

After the match, Riddle offered his hand out of respect, which Omen took. Riddle then said “And remember…always do as Randy’d do!” before hitting Omen with an RKO.
