Fuck yes, this feels goooooood. Give'm hell!
|
WWE should have booked the HOF at MSG to keep this from happening but anyway
|
Guess WWE got scared of ROH's legal threats again. What made it worse this time was Sinclair getting involved since they are way more powerful and richer than the WWE.
|
Brilliant move on ROH/NJPW's part. I hope it's a big hit.
I see both NXT Takeover and this show selling out on the same night. |
This next WM week will go down as the most successful week in the history of the business. I don't have hard facts on that, but how could it not? We will have over 80,000 for the show of shows, MSG will sell out, WWE will sell out Barclays 4 times... Hammerstein and Melrose Ballroom will sell out multiple times. Going to be truly insane. So happy to be a New Yorker for this WM week.
|
Good. Fuck WWE.
|
Lol irony
|
Fuck yes
|
Yeah, good if it sticks, but WWE might just tell MSG that if they cancel those shoes they will book Undertaker for one last singles match at MSG.
|
Interesting. It's a symbolic and expensive move, but we'll see how it plays out for them.
|
Go get 'em.
Good a time as any to finally have Vince start looking over his shoulder. |

According to the Observer, main reason this event got back on schedule was due to MSG not being willing at all to "take the bullet" for the WWE in regards to Sinclair's lawsuit threat.
MSG caved first and got a deal done where Sinclair & ROH dropped their legal threats and in return got their date back for the ROH-NJPW MSG event. WWE pretty much had no say in the matter. Quote:

lol FUUUUUUUCK WWE
|
I'm definitely going to this show. Fuck going to WrestleMania.
|
At this point, Jimmy Dolan needs to call up Vince and tell him, "If your next Raw or Smackdown after Summerslam is at Barclays Center, we're done. Ring of Honor in your backyard will be the least of your worries"

It'd be laughed out of court.
|
Two-thirds of the tickets for the MSG show have already been sold. They don't even go on sale to the general public until Friday.
|
That's great
I had no doubt this would sell out. I also think TakeOver will sell out. I wasn't thinking about going to WM 35 because I think it will be cold...but I might have to think about ROH/NJPW if I can nab a ticket. |
So is Ticketmaster or StubHub going to be selling tickets? Or you gotta go somewhere special like the New Japan website.
My plan is to rush home and get mine after work. |
No idea, I’m guessing waiting til after work will be too late, though.
|
Ticketmaster and most of the other ticket retailers are doing this. So, I'm good.
|
During a recent interview with CBS, ROH's General Manager mentioned the company is well aware WWE is going to step up their efforts to poach as many big ROH stars as possible to wreck ROH's chances of being successful with this event.
Also hinted they are already working on contingency plans to lessen the damage WWE wants to inflict. https://www.tpww.net/2018/08/wwe-lik...ale-sells-out/ |
I didn’t get tickets yet... dunno why, guess I just wasn’t “feeling it”. I know I’ll regret it likely.

Looks like it's sold out in under 5 minutes
|
Camped out at Ticketmaster for the 10 AM release, got a spinning circle for three minutes before it finally started to let me search for tickets, and they've already sold out except for platinum seats that are going for $750 a pop.
Knew I should've signed up for Honor Club. |
ROH just sold out the fucking Garden
|
I got super lucky and was able to nab a ticket wayyyyy at the top of MSG.
|
I'm guessing tickets will be on stubhub too -- people will 'over-inflate' the prices at first, like they do for every wrestling event, and then drop back down to reasonable pricing in a few days
|
UGH!
I knew I should have called out today. |
So who were the early tickets available to?
It's going to be cool to see ROH and New Japan promoted all over New York. |
I'm in.
Got a good seats and a good price from StubHub. |

just got 2nd row tickets 2 seats from the stage. Very cool. I see the people behind me are selling their tickets for over $3,000 a pop lol. Probably gonna grab NXT tickets and go to whichever one looks better. Hopefully the MSG show gives us some classic New Japan matches and not ROH vs. NJPW. Not interested in tag matches. I wanna see something like Tanahashi vs. Okada, Ishii vs. Omega, something that you know is gonna be a war.
