New Japan World Crashes During Night 2 Of Wrestle Kingdom 14

Some watching Wrestle Kingdom were met with an awful surprise.

Tonight was night two of New Japan’s Wrestle Kingdom14 and soon as the first match of the main card ended New Japan World crashed and many watching the show were met with an unwanted surprise. The English feed started to have issues and then all together went out. Some stated it had come back for them, some said it tried to reconnect and then went out and some said once it went out it was out.

The official Twitter account of New Japan World address the issue and released the following statement.

It is difficult to login for English live stream due to heavy access. Access condition is getting better now. Thank you for your waiting.#njpw #njwk14 #njpwworld

They later stated the issue was due to heavy traffic trying to connect at once. Some had luck with switching over to the Japanese feed and for some, it did not work for them.

This did not seem to be an overall issue with the show as we watched on FITE TV and never had an issue with the stream going out or even cutting out at all.

All looks to have been fixed now as most online were saying it started working for them by the end of the Jr Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match. Some said it took between 30 and 60 minutes before it started working again with no issues.
