NJPW News: Wrestle Kingdom 14 Attendance, Night 1 Video Highlights, STARDOM Match Note

– As noted during today’s event, Wrestle Kingdom 14 Night 1 at the Tokyo Dome drew an announced attendance of 40,008 people. It was noted on Twitter by NJPW subreddit moderator EvanDeadlySinsW that Night 1 wasn’t an official sellout, but that was only because some extra outfield seats that were just opened up were still available.

NJPW only started selling the outfields seats earlier today due to the high demand for tickets. You can check out 411’s live results and coverage from the event at the above link. Wrestle Kingdom 14 continues tomorrow at the Tokyo Dome.

Wrestle Kingdom 14 Day 1 drew 40,008 attendees! Not a sellout, but only the outfield seats (that they started selling today due to demand) were the only ones left. That is, all the seats that were originally on sale did sell out. #NJWK14
