AAA is supposedly running a show in MSG and wants to use talent from LU and Impact.



As someone from Jersey, I have to say I've been going to MSG house shows because of the convenience but haven't been to Barclays yet. I'm sure there's a few Jersey fans who just wait for the next Newark show rather than go to BK.
I live in on Blvd East but i have a tradition with my friends to go to takeover every year so I do. I was at that Roman Reigns crucification for Extreme Rules in Newark a few years back though :wow:

You think the same hardcore fans come to both?...I dont think the Brooklyn sees it as an event.

This nikka said "the" Brooklyn :scust:

For the record, on the right train, you can get from Barclays to MSG in about 15 minutes. To echo some of the same sentiments, it's the same crowd. 5 boroughs of NYC make up the same city.

The Brooklyn fans..auto correct, kid. Either way..its a NY transgression. Be a believer in whatever you want of the deal. MSG with different companies will make news though.

This is true but the only two US companies that can afford MSG other than WWE is ROH (if Sinclair foots the bill) and Impact Wrestling (if theyre even profitable yet). And the sad truth is neither company has the fan interest to run MSG right now

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
On Tony Schivone’s podcast I remember them talkin bout how MSG would never let WCW run events there because of WWE n Vince, now look at this story



:lolbron:

I have an old WCW magazine where they did an interview with a bunch of stage/production designers and they all were talking about how much of a dream it was for a WCW show to broadcast from MSG. Of course, that never happened. :to:

ROH PLANNING TO RUN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IN 2019

If they get their way, Ring of Honor is planning to run their first show in a WWE stronghold next year.

Sinclair CEO Chris Ripley told the Baltimore Biz Journal Tuesday that ROH will run a show at NYC's Madison Square Garden in 2019. The interview was done in relation to WWE's recent TV deals and the company's own prospects for the future.

There wasn't any additional detail or a time of year mentioned. Of note, WrestleMania is returning to the New York area next spring with the arena events running out of Brooklyn's Barclays Center due to the costs of running MSG.

ROH has run shows in New York City and the region since their inception, mainly focusing on smaller venues like the Manhattan Center and Terminal 5. This would obviously be a massive step in terms of size, scope, and costs.

However, the recent success The Young Bucks and Cody Runnels had in quickly selling out a 10,000 seat venue in the Chicago region without a card could be bolstering the company's hopes to sell out MSG with the right mix of talent (i.e. Bucks, Cody, Kenny Omega, etc).

Ripley said they have been scaling their production quality, but that "it's not quite there yet" to more aggressively bring their TV product off Sinclair stations.

In last week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that AAA holds a September date for MSG.

"If this show does happen, it would be the first time since the early 60s when someone other than Vince McMahon or his father would have promoted a pro wrestling event in the world’s most famous arena. It’s also notable that this past week, as there were insiders who found out about this booking, that WWE added Undertaker to its 7/7 show in Madison Square Garden, which seemed unusual given tickets were selling well for the date."

Well, Sinclair has the money to pay whatever the fukk MSG wants, though I don't see what any company might gain with running MSG at a full price besides getting Cokeboy pissed off and get into a carny/petty war with him. We as fan win with fukkery though :mjgrin:
