Re: ROH/NJPW DUAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR AUGUST 21

There is a working agreement between WWE and NJPW to use Jushin Liger in NXT under a deal similar to the one Samoa Joe and Rhino have. This is the first time in years and years that WWE has used a wrestler who is under contract to another company. Liger is expected to have regular NXT dates moving ...

Re: ROH/NJPW DUAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR AUGUST 21

Meltzer: "There's going to come a time that WWE is going to say to New Japan that you can't have this relationship with ROH." Meltzer is talking out of his ass. There is no relationship between NJPW and WWE. Their views on wrestling are too different and their egos are too big to work tog...

Re: Official : Field of Honor 2015 at MCU Park

I've gotten through Cole/Daniels and KES/Warmachine so far. And I enjoyed both a lot. Better show than last years so far.

Re: Noah relationship

Sekimoto works as a semi-freelancer. BJW is his home but he also shows up in Zero1, DDT and NOAH to fill out his calendar. I'd be surprised if he was high up on any priority list of "NOAH guys" to be brought in

Re: Official : Field of Honor 2015 at MCU Park

Wrestlinginc reports the official attendance as 2200. So it is a decent step up from last years 1400

ROH to tour Japan in 2016

As revealed by Delirious at the start of the G1 final show. ROH will do at least one show in Japan in 2016. Obviously in co production with NJPW. But still big news.

Re: RIP Roddy Piper

I got into wrestling fairly late in life compared to most fans (at age 21) but the moment I saw Piper I knew I had to go back through the old archives and watch his stuff from his hayday. I do not regret it one bit. Absolute legend.

Re: Breaking News: ROH on Destination America

I don't buy that DA aren't paying ROH anything. There has to be a sum of money changing hands. On the topic of raised attendance: That's not going to happen immediately. That is something that has to happen over time. You cannot expect ROH to start doing 1.5K attendances at every show just because t...

Re: Breaking News: ROH on Destination America

The 8th pm slot is just a minor setback, or as Burnside pointed out, even a possible upside. Since this means ROH does not compete with both LU and NXT. Besides, ROH doesn't have the same pressure for ratings as say TNA does since it is not an in house production

Re: Rumored Big News

NJPW are not partnering with the WWE because of one major factor. In any alliance New Japan cuts, they want to be the dominant party. They would not be that with the WWE.

Re: Rumored Big News

I know Meltzer is an authority on wrestling. But the moment he started reporting about WWE doing so many apron bumps at Battleground to steal that spot from ROH his reporting on this "war" just got silly.

Re: Rumored Big News

I find it unlikely that NJPW would cut a deal with WWE. Because in said relationship NJPW would be the lesser part, the vassal so to speak. And NJPW doesn't operate like that. They want to be the dominant party in their alliances. Which is why they partner with companies like ROH, WXW, NWA and such

Re: Official : Field of Honor 2015 at MCU Park

Liger being on NXT has nothing to do with NJPW. That is a booking done directly between WWE and Liger, because Liger operates on that type of contract. He goes wherever he wants.

Re: Official : Field of Honor 2015 at MCU Park

I wouldn't count on there being a bonafide relationship between the E and New Japan. Liger is on a special contract with NJPW and is allowed to work other companies. Dude is everywhere and nowhere basically.
