> WrestleMania, NXT and Raw are sold out, as is the New Japan/ROH show in Madison Square Garden. Not sold out is the Hall of Fame and Smackdown.

> NXT is the toughest ticket with the highest price to get in on the secondary market, at press time at $146, but there are only about 350 tickets left. WrestleMania has more than 3,000 tickets left, which for a show that is expected to draw 77,000 fans legit (which may mean an announcement of close to 90,000) is a very low number for this point on the secondary market, which is why the price for entry is still strong at $140. The other secondary market prices are $33 for the Hall of Fame, $82 for Raw and $45 for Smackdown. The ROH/NJPW show is down to $30 as a price of entry, indicating a very soft market. This market has been low ever since the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega signed with AEW. There are 2,600 secondary market tickets left, which sounds like a lot, but it’s still well below what SummerSlam had in the same market at this point before the show in August. But the price to get in for this show is much lower. Other prices to get in are $35 for the WrestleCon Super Show and $45 for the Revolution Pro Wrestling show. The current secondary price for the AEW debut show has fallen to $45, with 1,710 tickets remaining on the market, although that show is two months away.

> The movie “Fighting with My Family,” produced by, among others WWE Films and Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Entertainment, finished ninth in its third weekend of release on the U.S. charts and was No. 1 in the U.K. in its opening week last week. The movie grossed $20,881,663 as of this past weekend, its fifth of release. It opened at No. 4 on the box office charts and this past weekend was No. 13. It was No. 1 in the U.K. on its first weekend of release. It may have been the best-reviewed WWE Films production since the launch of the studio.

> At least for last week, the highest-rated pro wrestling show in North America was not Raw, but the two-hour AAA show on Azteca 7, even in the weak time slot of Friday’s from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The show did a 2.4 rating with a 4.8 share, with 4.4 million viewers on 3/8. CMLL debuted on Televisa 9, a stronger station in a better time slot, airing Saturday, 3/9, from 4-5 p.m., and did a 1.2 rating with a 2.6 share and 1.3 million viewers. The AAA Friday show aired on A+, a smaller station, on Sunday from 1-3 p.m. and did a 1.0 rating and 2.3 share, with 1.0 million viewers. I’ve seen the numbers reported backwards such as the AAA show did a 4.4 rating and 2.4 million viewers, and if you consider the population of Mexico, that does make more sense. However, we saw the actual breakdowns from the ratings services and total personas is the 4.4 million number, and rating is the 2.4 number

>WWE has filed an opposition to independent wrestler Tatevik Hunanyan’s ‘Sister Abigail’ trademark. Wrestling Inc reports that the company filed the opposition to the trademark application on March 19th, a day before the USPTO’s deadline to oppose.

>Hunanyan filed her application for the trademark in June of last year for use in pro wrestling. The application was filed after WWE abandoned its own application for the mark.

>One day before the United States Patent And Trademark Office’s March 20, 2019 deadline, WWE has filed to oppose independent wrestler Tatevik Hunanyan’s ‘Sister Abigail’ trademark. WWE stated in their opposition filing that Hunanyan didn’t create the character and has tried to “usurp” WWE’s intellectual property.

>The filing states, “[Hunanyan] was an extra for WWE in 2016 and 2017 and expressed a desire to portray the WWE SISTER ABIGAIL character in WWE programming. [Hunanyan] never portrayed the WWE SISTER ABIGAIL character and is now attempting to usurp WWE’s intellectual property by filing the Sister Abigail Application.”

>WWE also added that there would be confusion to consumers because WWE’s ‘Sister Abigail’ IP is identical to Hunanyan’s trademark and are both part of the wrestling industry. The filing states, “By applying for a mark that is identical in sight, sound and commercial meaning to Opposer’s SISTER ABIGAIL Mark in connection with identical services as those provided by Opposer. Applicant’s applied-for mark in the Sister Abigail Application is likely to cause confusion among consumers as to Opposer’s affiliation and/or sponsorship of Applicant’s services.”

>Hunanyan told Wrestling Inc that she expected WWE to oppose the trademark, noting, “It’s another new beginning for us all. The only difference between what is happening now versus what was happening then is I’m connecting my voice to my actions. I’m going to show everyone just how good and how real this story is. Why is this true? Because I showed up as a nobody, but remembered that I was somebody. And I’ll be damned if anyone ever tries to make me forget.”

>She added, “Love has always been my number one motivating factor behind why I do what I do and as the old saying goes, ‘Love makes us do crazy things,’ so let’s tell a great story in the way it was meant to be told. For better or worse, it was meant to be and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t imagine anyone not supporting that.”

>Watch NXT UK at 4pm EDT / 8pm GMT in /wooo/alt - http://taima.tv/r/woooalt with a replay at 9pm EDT / 1am GMT in /wooo/tube - http://taima.tv/r/wooo and /wooo/alt followed by Total Bellas at 10pm EDT / 2am GMT in both tubes.

>NXT UK - 4pm EDT / 8pm GMT (replay at 9pm EDT / 1am GMT)

With the NXT UK Tag Team Championship very much on the mind of Moustache Mountain, NXT UK General Manager Johnny Saint has granted Tyler Bate a one-on-one showdown against one-half of the Grizzled Young Veterans, James Drake. Plus, Saint and Assistant to the General Manager Sid Scala will open the show with an important announcement, Eddie Dennis returns to battle Ligero, Kassius Ohno makes his NXT UK debut against Ashton Smith and so much more.

>Total Bellas s04e09: Women Take Center Stage - 10pm EDT / 2am GMT

The first-ever Women's Pay-Per-View, Evolution, is finally here. The Bellas take New York by storm with their media appearances and a Bella Army-filled pep rally. Nicole is determined to show the world what she is made of in her historic Main Event match against Ronda Rousey, while Brie finds the courage to speak out against the bullying she faced this past year.

Old thread is sort of still around, but the files are all gone. Let us start anew, shall we?

THE STUFF IN THE TUBES:

>Puro Tube is on Tuesdays at 3pm EST / 8pm GMT in /wooo/tube - http://taima.tv/r/wooo and shows promotions outside of Dragon Gate and NJPW. Join in as everyone argues why their favorite fed is superior and Yanopost, Anopost, CIMApost and dance like Keita until your tummy is full from all that snackpine.
>DG Tube is on Thursdays at 8pm EST / 1am GMT in Mondai Night Ryu - http://taima.tv/r/mondainightryu and features the latest and classic Dragon Gate shows. Other stuff is featured here from time to time as well. (like cheesy 80s films or the mega marathon before Kobe World and recently OWE)
>NJPW on AXS TV is also on Thursdays at 8pm EST / 1am GMT (7pm EST / 12am GMT if there are two episodes) in /wooo/tube showing recent matches on tape delay with English commentary by Jim Ross and Josh Barnett. Replays air on Fridays at 12:45pm EST / 5:45pm GMT (11:50am EST / 4:50pm GMT if there are two episodes) in /wooo/tube.

Outside of Puro Tube, there's usually a few puro marks in the chat that can help fill you in on storylines and find you matches. Just show up outside of big shows like Raw, and you'll find someone in there to help you out. Puro matches also show up in the playlist, so scroll around to find them. NJPW, DG, and DDT live events are regularly streamed in the tubes, check the schedule for details.

>THE MAJOR FEDS:

NJPW: Oldest and largest promotion in Japan. Owned by Bushiroad and is booked by Gedo. His booking gets the tubes riled up sometimes (all the time), but the match quality generally makes up for it. In the midst of something of a revival, and although you may argue that it is already drawing to a close, they are still doing good business at the moment. They run one of the largest shows in wrestling, called Wrestle Kingdom, every year on January 4th at the fabled Tokyo Dome. Most every show they run, large and small, air in the tubes. They have a slew of foreign wrestlers on their roster right now. They also have a wonderful streaming website over at http://njpwworld.com/

Dragon Gate: Almost certainly the second largest promotion in Japan. Born out of the Toryumon promotion, which was the brainchild of Ultimo Dragon, their style is a mixture of classic puro, cruiserweight/junior heavyweight sprints, and lucha libre. Stable warfare is a huge part of the promotion, with most every wrestler in the company being aligned with a unit in some way. Though it is a big promotion, they retain a grassroots feel, with wrestlers selling merch before and after shows, and running many shows out of community centers and gyms. Most of their large shows air in the tubes, and footage is also posted here. They also have a show that is filmed monthly in their little studio in Kobe called Prime Zone which is wacky, fun, and full of Mondai Ryu schemes. They recently joined the streaming bandwagon over at https://dragongate.live

New general so sufferers of lunchmeatophobia don't have to scroll past a sandwich for 6 months.

>Joshi Tube airs every Saturday at 4pm EDT / 9pm GMT in /wooo/tube - http://taima.tv/r/wooo and is a great way to discover what joshi is all about. People in the chat will be able to answer questions as you ask them, as we do on this thread.

>But if you're ever in the mood to catch joshi outside of /Joshi/tube, there is a 24/7 Joshi channel now available to watch on TaimaTV - http://taima.tv/r/joshi. Furthermore, there is also now a non-joshi 24/7 women's wrestling channel here. Anyone looking to maybe stream any of their western women's wrestling like SHINE or WSU or a SHIMMER DVD, just ask in either this thread or the /wooo/tube general - http://taima.tv/r/wooomens

There's a variety of women's wrestling available around the world. The West features many, such as the WWE Women’s division, Impact Wrestling’s Knockouts division, ROH’s Women of Honor, AAA's luchadoras, CMLL's luchadoras, Shimmer Women Athletes, SHINE Wrestling, WSU, WWR, Pro Wrestling EVE, HUMO, and more!

Eastern Promotions to watch
Stardom, Pure-J, Sendai Girls, Ice Ribbon, OZ Academy, Pro Wrestling WAVE, SEAdLINNNG, Gatoh Move Pro Wrestling and more! All nonsubscription shows are available at PuroresuDream - https://puroresudream.wordpress.com/ or https://twitter.com/PuroresuDream for the latest joshi shows.

Classic women's wrestling to watch: The Legendary AJW, classic JWP, ARISON, GAEA, & FMW's female deathmatch division, and GLOW if you want over the top female characters and promos.
