 While NJPW announced an attendance of 27,000, Meltzer claimed a real attendance of 20,000 with roughly half paid.According to Meltzer "nobody could reasonably expect much more than 10,000 paid for New Japan, so by modern standards getting the place packed and having a good show up-and-down is considered a success".According to Meltzer, NJPW was happy with "how things went with TNA" with the company's management feeling that the American promotion had "plenty of good workers".
