Could Long Island Advertising Agencies Have Covered Wrestle Kingdom 9?

By Rob Sutter


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.

Even though this event has been positive for numerous reasons, one of the most noteworthy was the work done with Global Force Wrestling. For those who do not know, it was because of GFW that Wrestle Kingdom 9 was able to air in North America. The event was made even more special with commentary done by not only Matt Striker but WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross. To say that this helped to make the show itself better would have been an understatement.

It would be a lie to say that Wrestle Kingdom 9 was light on action. In fact, I would go as far as to say that it was one of the most varied wrestling shows I have seen in quite some time. No two matches felt the same and there were numerous styles covered, whether they were more technical by comparison to others or grittier by design. This helped the show to move along faster, which is vital for a program that clocks in at about five hours in length.

Wrestle Kingdom 9 might have benefited from Long Island advertising agencies, provided social media would be focused on. I believe that the aforementioned agencies could have put their social media-related skills to the test, which is useful when given how information can be distributed across a litany of channels. It's important to bear in mind that only the most reputable of authorities can fulfill this, meaning that names the likes of fishbat should be noted.

With advertising out of the way, though, Wrestle Kingdom 9 is an early candidate for best pro wrestling pay-per-view of 2015. It managed to do everything that a strong wrestling show should be known for: strong action, versatile matches, and commentary that brings attention to said action as opposed to take away from it. Can more of these shows make their way over to the United States? With the success of Wrestle Kingdom 9, I'd like to think that anything is possible.
