A historic move that seems to end a long-standing tradition that some might even be tempted to call monopoly, the main map for tonight's Extreme rules and the health updates of several pro catch personalities the notable press articles this week In This Corner.
The Busted Open professional wrestling talk show (a very entertaining entity that we find exclusively on Sirius XM) refers to the global expansion of professional wrestling because it is proud itself (rightly, but almost exclusively) to cover the sport on a worldwide basis and not limit coverage to the undisputed king of the pro game in the US, World Wrestling Entertainment. The truth is that professional wrestling has been popular in other parts of the world for many years, Japan, Australia and England being immediately considered as places where successful promotions have flourished during the last half century. let's specify what happens as any new phenomenon.
That being stipulated, the announcement last Friday of a joint venture by Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling to lead the legendary venue of Madison Square Garden on April 6, the night before WrestleMania 35 arrives at Met Life Stadium and in direct opposition to the NXT Takeover card slated for the Barclays Center in Brooklyn the same evening, it 's the speech of the pro wrestling fans who know that the WWE universe does not. is not the only universe and that after the immediate sale of the All In Independent Exhibition scheduled for September at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, the ROH-New Japan team boldly launching to rent MSG could just be the next logical step in the progression of a new boom era for professional wrestling. The competition is healthy for the company and there might finally be some small signs of return.
Apparently, hell froze because after initially getting some agreement to be able to manage the garden, ROH was told that they could not have an appointment at the deferential join for disgruntled people at WWE, which was the only professional wrestling company that ran the infamous venue dating back to Vince Sr.'s time. Now, suddenly the powers are open to the It's the idea of an organization other than WWE that has plucked the biggest sums of money to rent the world's most famous arena for a wrestling event. It seems that the powerful Sinclair Broadcasting Corporation (perhaps the distributors of the modest ROH broadcasts) may have flexed some of its considerable muscle to remind everyone that monopolistic practices might not pass the legal sniff test
. Garden like years ago. While he held monthly exhibitions at the Garden (and there were three incarnations of the Manhattan Institution over the years) dating back to the 1950s and even every three weeks during the reigns of the reign of Bruno Sammartino unprecedented, the WWE It has been there only twice a year with a summer show and a Christmas show. Raw has not been there recently and there has been no pay per view over the station for some time now. The cost of renting the place with all the charges and surcharges of the New York Union, etc. makes it difficult to make a real profit even by attracting large crowds in the city that never sleeps, but makes you a fortune for a room. just in case you need a nap.
It should be very interesting to see how things unfold between now and WM 35, but the immediate future is the Extreme Rules show in Pittsburgh tonight with several meetings, including a new encounter between Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns with the winner likely to face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania for the Universal title. AJ Styles defends the WWE champion title against the popular Rusev heel, while Dolph Ziggler puts the Intercontinental belt on the line against Seth Rollins in a thirty-minute Iron Man match that has classic potential written everywhere. James Ellsworth, freshly landed last weekend at Mt. Carmel and star of the track by getting away from Asuka last Tuesday on Smackdown, will be stuck in a shark cage over the ring so that he can not interfere on behalf of Carmella in his title defense tonight against Asuka. The American belt is at stake with the champion Jeff Hardy in defense against Shinsuke Nakamura
The crown of the raw women is on the line when Nia Jax confronts Alexa Bliss with Ronda Rousey likely to play a role in this one. New Day mates with Insanity in a table match and Braun Strowman faces Kevin Owens within the confines of a steel cage. The Bludgeon brothers defend the straps of Smackdown against Team Hell No, composed of Daniel Bryan and Kane. Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt face the B-Teams for Raw and Baron Corbin with Finn Balor. While Brock Lesnar appears at a UFC match last weekend to fight for this championship and put his name in the group to fight early next year, speculation is going good train for him and his Universal belt. Jim Ross is recovering from a rib injury that he suffered during a show at New Japan when the action spread in the announcer 's area. and he was slammed with a "protective" balustrade. Ric Flair is also on the road to healing. He was successfully operated on to remove the colostomy bag he had needed for years. Goldust is expected to recover from a double knee operation and Fandango will be out of action for a time after a shoulder surgery. Tommy Dreamer, who worked last weekend for PCWA at Mt. Carmel, has not been hurt, but is working this week in Australia with his House of Hardcore promotion. These guys are moving, as has been the main theme of the 350 Days movie, a wrestling documentary released last Thursday in limited venues the closest of which is in the Harrisburg area.
