Chikara is staying in Philly though for the most part, correct?

Manami Toyota will be in Baltimore as well.

Something else will pop up and fill the Arena. CZW is growing in popularity...so whatever. I'm halfway thinking of going up for Cage of Death in December.

Yes I think he just got the red ass & thought she should be in Philly since that's their home base. I would like to think that the shows were scheduled before they booked her & that's just when she could come. But I really have no idea if that's the case but I would have thought they would have given fans more notice.

I assume it's just that...her agent, or whatever, said "she can work these dates" of what they already had scheduled and they figured..."well, it's that or nothing."

Attendance figures for the weekend: DGUSA "nearly 800" and Chikara 755, their biggest crowd in Philly.

I almost wonder if the Arena is increasing its rent or something. I saw a post on the ROH facebook/twitter about the possibility of taking TV Tapings on the road.

CZW is the only company I'm aware of that is booked there aside from ROH going forward.

[WrestlingPower]

Yeah, that is odd. I listened to a Grizzly interview & the only thing negative he said about ROH was they need to take TV on the road. I'm sure Chikara will continue there as they have a sweet deal according to what George told me. They have some sort of break on the rent I think in exchange for allowing those underprivileged kids, etc. in. I think there's some tie-in there with the athletic commission or something.

Akebono??? Say wha?


Don't shit on Danielson vs. Moxley. I'm still of the opinion that Moxley has been relegated to the role he's meant to play. I think the match will be just fine...though it'd be suited better for EVOLVE.

[theHorrorShow]

I loved Akebono when he was a sumo wrestler. But whaaaat the fuck is he doing in DGUSA?

[WrestlingPower]

He has been working somewhat regularly for Dragon Gate Japan lately.

ROH & DGUSA to become bed-fellows w/ GoFightLive, interesting.
