TOKYO JOSHI PRO “HYPER MISAO PRODUCE ~ HYPE! 3 (RERUN)” Results, How Did A Wrestling Match Get Its Own Director's Cut? - #tjpw #tjpwHYPE.

RT @BAHUFMW: Tomohiko Hashimoto passed away due to liver cancer at 7:55 am today. He had been battling it since last year and had his last….

Hype! 3 Rerun spoilers: The scene with HIMAWARI & Koda added Yamashita & Imabayashi to it. Miyu crushed an apple with her bare hand. Yuki Aino’s match at the end was against Danshoku Dieno instead of Hyper Misao. Apparently that was Misao’s original idea for the big finale. #tjpw.

And done.

When asked about scouting wrestlers from Texas, Akira is interested in the idea. He would love to create a TJPW USA in the future. He can call it Texas Joshi Pro Wrestling to keep the TJPW brand! He has ambition to use Texas as the foundation for a national expansion. #tjpwUSA.

TJPW and TOKYO STORY will continue working each other, believing they wouldn't be able to maximize their efforts otherwise. It hasn't been decided if this will become an annual tour. They also could move the tour dates away from July. #tjpwUSA.

Shimizu and Akira loved that it resulted in gacha chants during a wrestling match, especially since it happened naturally and wasn't done as forced product placement. It showed how much TJPW's characters connected with everybody without the need for localization. #tjpwUSA.

TOKYO STORY works with Bandai Namco for their Gashapon toys. They were really happy with Pom Harajuku's use of the machines on the last show. The wrestlers were surprised they were allowed to do whatever they wanted with the machine as long as they didn't break it. #tjpwUSA.

Ticket sales were over 20 million yen so the tour was profitable just from that alone. There is plenty of room for growth if they can attract more local sponsors. They think the meet and greet could be done better because it was difficult for first timers to understand. #tjpwUSA.

They would like to do another Texas tour next year. They are aiming to do shows in at least three cities with Houston, Dallas and Austin as the likely locations. They would also like to reach the Dallas attendance numbers for all of them. #tjpwUSA.

Shimizu thinks they can tap more into family demand. There's a married couple who worked with them. The wife was uncomfortable at first because she thought it was going to be a sleazy show. But she learned it is not that kind of entertainment & found it family friendly. #tjpwUSA.

Most ticket buyers were men, around 90% for Houston while Dallas had more couples & families. Tickets sold at TOKYO X were mostly to women so there are still potential customers they hadn't reached with their marketing. Akira thinks they could've pushed the idols more. #tjpwUSA.

Shimizu said when it comes to big cities Houston and Dallas are completely different to Tokyo and Osaka. But with the recent boom of interest in Japanese content, Texas is a hungry market for that stuff and they capitalized on it. #tjpwUSA.

That moment made Akira more confident that TJPW can resonate with longtime wrestling fans. He also noticed how the Shoko Vs Miu match got so much crowd reaction for everything they did, even the basics. The relaxed atmosphere feels like something unique to Texas. #tjpwUSA.

There was an old man Akira met at the hotel he was staying at who told him stories about Bobo Brazil. The next morning he found the man watching clips of Mizuki on Youtube. The man then called Akira over to tell him how amazing Mizuki is. #tjpwUSA.

Akira felt from the atmosphere during the shows that many people who attended them were not really into wrestling. However some locals as well as Konosuke Takeshita told him Texas does have a strong base of wrestling fans. #tjpwUSA.

Shimizu hired influencers for $300, one of them uploaded a 7 second video of Mizuki. It went viral and $10,000 worth of tickets were sold in one day as a result. Ticket sales steadily increased from there giving Akira confidence that TJPW tickets are worth buying. #tjpwUSA.
