Speaking of ROH, their ticket sales for their UK tour have , ehm, not been good... 

 

I think ROH are still labouring under the misapprehension that they would be a big attraction in comparison to stuff in the British Wrestling scene. Some of those prices are obscene for tickets. £70+ for front row!!! That's what I paid to see Guns n Roses in Barcelona last time they were in Europe!!

I paid less than that for the tour in 2017 and that involved The Young Bucks, Cody, Marty Scurll, Dalton Castle, Naito, Hiromu Takahashi, Kushida, Sanada, EVIL, Ultimo Guerrero, Bushi, Mistico, Daniels and Kazarian, Jay Lethal and an unannounced Colt Cabana appearance. Wouldn't pay anywhere near what they're charging for a less appealing talent roster.

Bolton and Newport are odd places to be doing shows, but double figures in London is horrendous. 

Not only that but there's a danger the venue in Bolton won't even be in use by the time the tour comes around. Pretty sure they ran some odd venues last time as well.

Just a week of good TV matches. A very welcome quiet spell for me after the huge task of trying to keep up with the two weeks prior. 

Kota Ibushi vs Jay White - NJPW G1 Climax 2019 - Tag 19. ****3/4
Cedric Alexander vs Drew McIntyre - Monday Night Raw. ***3/4
Roman Reigns vs Buddy Murphy - SmackDown Live. ****
Kassius Ohno vs Ilja Dragunov - NXT UK. ****
Drew Gulak vs Oney Lorcan - 205 Live. ****
Jordan Myles vs Cameron Grimes - NXT. ***1/4

Coming up over the next 7 days are x3 Super J Cup shows and I might watch ROH Honor For All.

Just caught up with 205 Live and I don't share others enthusiasm with the antics of Mr Gulak. Similar to my complaints about the Gargano vs Cole match the other week why would you get yourself DQ'd intentionally? If it had led to Lorcan getting eliminated right after him then fine but he was back on his feet in minutes and went on to eliminate Daivari en route to his team winning the match. Makes him look a bit foolish if you ask me.
