Japanese wrestling: how much of its history has been on PPV?

[IWD]

Does anyone have any information on when Japanese wrestling PPV's started in that country? (I realise that some Japanese shows such as the WCW/NJPW Supershows were on PPV in the States from 1991-1993.)

 

Are they relatively recent in comparison to the US (i.e.: the build tended to be towards big attendances rather than big viewing figures?) How important are they in Japan? Is there a list anywhere of which shows were on PPV and which ones were not?

 

Thanks.

I can't give many details, but prowrestlinghistory.com indicates what shows aired on PPV.

Okay, thanks.
