Rants

Is there actually some competition for once?

By Scott Keith on 10 August 2018



First all in sells out, and now ROH/NJPW for Madison square garden. Is Cody the new WCW
?
ROH and New Japan have apparently learned the most valuable lesson from WWE:  Sell the brand, not the wrestlers.  Which I type sitting here wearing a Bullet Club t-shirt, so there you go.  
However, this absolutely can't be understated what a giant kick in the grapefruits to Vince McMahon that this is.  He was desperately trying to block the show from happening in the first place, and failed.  They didn't sell out the Garden with Ronda and haven't sold out in years.  At the very least, there are going to be some VERY rich indy geeks come Royal Rumble time if they're not under contract to someone else.  COMPETITION IS GOOD.  Motivated Vince is good for us!  Hopefully Cody and the Bucks are smart enough to cash in while they can (and history has shown they are).  Good for everyone involved.
