[New WRESTLE UNIVERSE Announcement Live Translation Thread]



#wrestleUNIVERSE
#ddtpro #tjpw #GanPro #noah_ghc
They got Murata-san as MC which means this is a BIG DEAL

#wrestleUNIVERSE
The person you don't know among the participants is Nagasawa, Producer of WRESTLE UNIVERSE

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Often ignored, but always sure to remind us he's here; it's Ken Ohka of Ganbare Pro-Wrestling

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Takagi:
WU started in 2017, but after 4 years we decided to undergo big changes.

Take:
I watch every day, including my own matches, my opponents, and retro videos; it's almost like a textbook to me

Miyu:
#tjpwWP2 is the first big show on the new WU? wow

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Maru:
NOAH didn't have a streaming service, so getting to join WU meant a lot to us; it doesn't mean much even if we have great matches if people get to see it.

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Takagi:
We changed the name from DDT UNIVERSE to WU because we got NOAH as part of the package, and we wanted to provide more wrestling to more fans

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Ohka:
WHY AREN'T YOU ASKING ME QUESTIONS

Didn't that match where I won the KO-D title get a lot of views?
Do people know I was a former KO-D champ?
Watch the match on WU!

Ok thanks I said what I wanted to

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Takagi:
When we launched, the goal was to get the DDT/TJPW/GanPro product out there, but with us joining CyberAgent and NOAH joining us, but the world has now become one in which we won't be able to run without streaming and the internet

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Ok here we go

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Why are we changing WU?

Full renewal was decided upon for:
- better video quality
- better stability
- international expansion

#wrestleUNIVERSE
1. Design (UI/UX) update
- includes portal page for each promotion with roster info, etc.
- clicking on a certain wrestler for example will display list of videos that they are in

#wrestleUNIVERSE
The menu on the left is no longer always displayed; it can be shown/hidden via clicks

#wrestleUNIVERSE
The mobile version has its own UI/UX

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Subscription page is also customized for each promotion, and joining through each page will lead the user to related content

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Subscription is easier; no longer need to enter name, etc.; just email and password is enough.

#wrestleUNIVERSE
2. New Functions:

- Time-shift viewing (you can start from the beginning when you're 30 minutes late to the start of a LIVE stream, etc)
- Higher quality from new video is maintained
- JP/ENG commentary can be switched back and forth on same video stream

#wrestleUNIVERSE
3. English display

- No need for browser translation; WU will provide the English within the website

#wrestleUNIVERSE
More functions:
- seamless playing of set series (D-Oh GP, etc)
- recommendation playlist

#wrestleUNIVERSE
3. Mobile Phone App in development!
- seamless transitions
- double-tap fast forward, etc.
- Chromecast ready!
- scheduled for release within 2021

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Timeline
- Old WU will be terminated at the end of October
- Current users will still be able to view old videos during August
- There are 8,000 videos on WU, 2,000 of which will be migrated on 10/1, so while the rest are being migrated you can still use old WU

#wrestleUNIVERSE
- Subscription to old WU will be closed on 9.26.
- Everything post 10/1 will be posted on the New WU
- Member benefits will be available only to New WU members post 10/1
- Continued membership benefits will be carried on by entering info on a from to be released

#wrestleUNIVERSE
- No need to unsubscribe from old WU, but everyone will need to re-register to the new WU

#wrestleUNIVERSE
- Price remains at 900 yen/month
- To make up for the fact that you have to re-sub to the new WU, monthly fees for Oct/Nov/Dec will be ZERO yen.
- You can't unsubscribe until January, so this is not "3 months free", but rather "4 months for the price of 1"

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Takagi:
UNVERSE subs hit 10k a while ago, and the near-term goal is 50k, with long-term goals being 100k and eventually 1 million

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Ohka:
I'm not smart so tell me when the best time to join is.

Nagasawa:
Join on Oct. 1, and you will get 4 full months until the end of January for the price of 1 month.

Ohka:
WOW I'm going to create an account for each of the 6 members of my family!

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Murata:
So did you understand all of that Miyu?
That was a lot of info.

Miyu:
Absolutely. 900 yen, right?
Was there anything else?

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Within the list of big shows during the free 3 months is

DDT 10.31 Rojo (Street) Pro-Wrestling in TOKYO FUCKING DOME

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Takagi:
We're going to use the entirety of Tokyo Dome again for this 10.31 show, like we did in Takagi vs Suzuki the last time.

I'm not going to be in the match, so look forward to who's gonna be on the show!

#wrestleUNIVERSE
NOAH will also be doing NOAH the UNIVERSAL vol.2 on Jan 1, 2022 from Budokan with English Commentary

#wrestleUNIVERSE
#noah_ghc
TJPW will have 5 straight weeks of LIVE shows beginning with WRESTLE PRINCESS II

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Everyone else is getting LIVE shows but Ganbare Climax 2021 Finals is on VOD and Ohka is NOT happy

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Nagasawa:
Okay fine we'll have the Ganbare Climax 2021 Finals be streamed LIVE

Ohka:
YATTAAA

#wrestleUNIVERSE
FAQ time:

Take:
What will happen to legacy promotion footage like BASARA or UNION?

Nagawasa:
Everything that is on the current WU will eventually be migrated

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Miyu:
I screengrab a lot of stuff; is that okay?

Nagasawa:
Yes, please do so and put stuff up on social media

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Maru:
Legacy NOAH footage?

Takagi:
We're working on migrating stuff that Samurai TV owns; that should be added to the archives eventually.
As for the stuff owned by NTV, it may take a while.

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Ohka:
Can we keep doing our Ganbare YouTube channel?

Takagi:
Yes, please use it as a medium to attract more new members to WU

#wrestleUNIVERSE
User Q:
Fan club functions/benefits?

Nagasawa:
Early tickets, etc., will be available for the members of the New WU after 10.1

#wrestleUNIVERSE
User Q:
Why do we have to subscribe again?

Nagasawa:
We're sorry for the inconvenience, but we've revamped the service from the bottom-up, so we needed to migrate to an entirely new system.

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Ohka:
I need fans to watch from all over the world, and even from outer space.
We are UNIVERSE and we extend beyond this earth.

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Miyu:
This was all very difficult, but I learned a lot today.
I will do my best to successfully subscribe on 10.1

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Take:
WU is evolving, but it's not just the technology.
Us wreslters in the ring and our matches will also evolve.
Neppower!

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Maru:
Thanks to people like Nagasawa, we get to give you quality wrestling product.
We hope you will enjoy our fights on the new WU

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Nagasawa:
We usually don't appear on stage, but being here, I got a lot of energy from Ken Ohka.
We will do our best for the migration

#wrestleUNIVERSE
Takagi:
WU is a single platform where you can watch a variety of wonderful promotions from anywhere in the world.
We will keep updating and adding functions to the product.
We hope you will join!

HBD Sasaki, those are some HUGE keychains.

Couldn't replicate Sasaki's blackness around the eyes because my heart has just been cleansed just two days ago with that TJPW show.
