> The Ring of Honor/New Japan Pro Wrestling show on 4/6 in Madison Square Garden sold out on 8/10 less than 19 minutes after the public on-sale began. Of course, they had already sold 12,000 of the 15,000 seats put on sale, with the first 9,000 going to Honor Club subscribers on 8/8, and another 3,000 going to those with codes that weren’t hard to get, and in fact were tweeted out.The significance of this could be monumental in ways that are obvious and other ways perhaps less obvious. While ROH officials would not release a gate number, it was confirmed to be well in excess of $1 million, making it the largest gate for a non-WWE pro wrestling gate not only in the United States, but likely anywhere in the world except for the Far East.

> The previous largest gate for a non-WWE show in North America was $1 million, set on September 11, 2014, for the Atlantis vs. Ultimo Guerrero mask vs. mask mach at Arena Mexico. The largest ever in the United States was $930,735 set on January 4, 1999, for an episode of Nitro at the Georgia Dome. The Hulk Hogan vs. Bill Goldberg gate at the Georgia Dome months earlier was $906,330. It is possible this would be the second largest gate ever for a pro wrestling show in Madison Square Garden for wrestling, trailing WrestleMania 20 that did $2,401,000. It was the fastest sellout since WrestleMania 20 in Madison Square Garden, and second fastest of all-time. It sold out farther in advance than any pro wrestling event at the Garden. And it was the first Madison Square Garden sellout for pro wrestling since 2015.

> We’re told that NXT should sell out, or at worst, come close. SummerSlam sold out instantly, of course with 6,000 secondary market tickets. Raw is looking at 11,500 to 12,000 right now and Smackdown at 9,500 to 10,000. The secondary market is soft except for SummerSlam, as the price for entry is $28 for Takeover, $90 for SummerSlam, $30 for Raw and $20 for Smackdown.

> I ended up being in the eye of the storm this week based on comments that I made on Wrestling Observer Radio last week. For those who defended me, thanks. But I was wrong the way I worded things. Yes, things were taken out of context and the meaning espoused to what I said wasn’t what I meant. Even saying that, I was still wrong and apologized, actually immediately for it, to Peyton Royce. It was sincere. I knew the fact I apologized and sincerely felt bad wasn’t going to matter. And I know many felt I made a big mistake in doing so. But this was not a political decision, it was a decision based on my own feeling of right and wrong, and I was wrong.

> It’s a very tricky issue because I hate objectifying women or men based on looks while covering a business that is so heavily based on looks and bodies and where judgments are made. It’s really difficult because this is a business where cosmetic look plays a gigantic factor in who gets pushed and who doesn’t. It’s the nature of the entertainment business. To ignore that fact would really be not doing a part of my job. But others do the same job and I’ve been lucky enough to be a major player, and thus under a heavier microscope. But I still shouldn’t have said what I said. It is a difficult balancing act to be honest in analysis, but that’s not an excuse. We all make mistakes and all you can do is learn from them. I’ve learned from this one. It won’t happen again.

Great match. Thank god Reigns won and we got that classic match with Brock at WM 31. But of course this goof Bryan injured himself again after another WM.

>Watch AJPW 2018 Summer Explosion: Day 5 at 5:30am EDT / 10:30am BST in /wooo/tube - http://taima.tv/r/wooo

On July 29 on the final day of the 2018 Summer Action Series tour, The Bodyguard got his revenge by defeating Ryoji Sai for the Asia Heavyweight Championship after Sai defeated Bodyguard in the finals of the tournament that reinstated the belt earlier this year. Now The Bodyguard will defend his championship for the first time against Naoya Nomura, will his first defense be successful or will it end as quickly as he won the title? Plus Suwama and Shuji Ishikawa of Violent Giants put their World Tag Team Championship on the line against Kento Miyahara and Yoshitatsu of Yoshiken.

And it's the continuation of the 2018 Jr. Tag Battle of Glory, a round robin junior heayweight tag team tournament. 7 tag teams will face one another as they try to accumulate the most points with 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. In case of a draw through a double countout, the match is declared a no contest with neither team being awarded a point. Rankings in the tournament are not determined by head-to-head matches and in the event of more than two teams finishing clear of the other teams, extra match(es) will be held to determine the finalists. The two tag teams with the most points at the end will face each other in the finals on August 25th with the winning team earning themselves a shot at the All Asia Tag Team Championship, if not already the reigning champions. Here are the current standings and lineup for the show:

>Jr. Tag Battle of Glory 2018

*Atsushi Maruyama & Masashi Takeda - 4
*Koji Iwamoto & TAJIRI - 4
*Evolution (Atsushi Aoki & Hikaru Sato) - 4
*Shuji Kondo & Kotaro Suzuki - 2
*Black Menso~re & Black Tiger VII - 2
*Masaaki Mochizuki & Shun Skywalker - 0
*Kaji Tomato & Shiori Asahi - 0

Name one time Pop Corny put something over.

He's been back for over six years now. This is three times as long as his first run in the company. What's /wooo/'s thoughts on his return? Any favorite moments?

I don't know if it's nostalgia, but I vastly prefer 2002-2003 Brock to WWE Final Boss Brock. I think he cared more and it showed in the ring.

Suggest relevant bingo squares in the card made to see how predictable WWE really is - the previous show's card is attached for reference.
As of post time there isn't a fujiBET! up for this show but there is for TakeOver so get your shit in there for the time being! http://www.lolwrestling.com/play/fujibet/event/159/

Get ready for over six hours of your time to be consumed by main roster WWE content! Does WWE have the balls to put Lesnar vs Reigns on last despite the fear of people walking out during the match to beat the traffic? Do they even have the balls to get it over and done with by pissing people off by finally giving Reigns the belt or will they have a cash-in to save us from one of the worst storylines going on right now? Let's see what happens, let's get these bingo squares in! And please, this thread is to talk about getting the bingo squares in. I've posted the card a few days early to get as many good suggestions in as possible. Let's see what we can get! And hopefully this card doesn't change, there's way too many matches on this, we don't need any more.

> WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns
> WWE CHAMPIONSHIP: AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe
> WWE RAW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP: Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Ronda Rousey
> WWE SMACKDOWN WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP: Carmella (c) vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte
> WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: Dolph Ziggler (c) vs. Seth Rollins
> WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Jeff Hardy
> WWE SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: The Bludgeon Brothers (c) vs. The New Day
> Braun Strowman vs. Kevin Owens - If Strowman loses, Owens gets the MITB case.
> Finn Balor vs. Baron Corbin
> The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan
