all in broadcast information fite ppv pay per view wgn america

Cody Rhodes says they’ve added “several levels” of security to All In on Saturday due to the recent shooting at a Madden tournament in Jacksonville that left two people dead.

Rhodes participated in an AMA on Reddit and was asked if he and The Young Bucks beefed up security at the upcoming event due to 24-year-old David Katz shooting fellow gamers at GLHF Game Bar on Sunday, then killing himself.

“Security was beefy from the jump,” Cody replied. “But we’ve added several levels and the building is an incredibly secure and disciplined building.”

The Florida shooting also left 10 people injured from gunshots and one with a non-gunshot injury.

Plans For Second “All In” Event Teased (AUDIO)

all in part two teased talk is jericho cody rhodes young bucks matt nick jackson

The All In event hasn’t even taken place yet, but The Young Bucks and Cody Rhodes sound like they’re already tossing around the idea of promoting part two.

The trio were guests on the latest episode of Talk is Jericho and while discussing the idea of a second show Matt Jackson said they feel it has to be just as ambitious as the first in terms of drawing a huge crowd — questioning how big they should try to go.

“Could you do another one and say ‘Oh, I want 10,000 again?” Jackson continued, “Or do you do, I want 20,000 or I want 15,000?  I personally would like to do Madison Square Garden.  I think that would be cool.”

Adding, “Or I’d like to do something in Los Angeles at a big building there.” It was later implied they’ve already had meetings with officials from The Forum, as Staples is locked down by WWE.

“I would love to see what happens if you guys do Madison Square Garden, because the old man is not going to stand by,” a laughing Jericho replied. “It’s definitely an option,” Matt replied.

At the end of the podcast, Jericho said it’s always possible he could participate in All In 2.

The sold-out All In event is set to go down September 1 in Chicago.

Listen to the back-and-forth (which was recorded in June) below. This part begins around 1:23.

ROH – NJPW Madison Square Garden Show Is Sold Out (4/6/19)

Tickets for the ROH – NJPW G1 Supercard event at Madison Square Garden went on sale Wednesday for HonorClub members. ROH COO Joe Koff revealed that tickets were already 60% sold out that day.

“We are currently 60% sold with general public for sale on Friday,” said Koff in a statement to POST Wrestling.

A WWE sellout at MSG is usually around 15,000 fans for a live event, which is also what ROH has configured for this event, so they had sold around 9,000 to HonorClub members. The remaining tickets went on sale to the general public at 10am ET earlier today and ROH has already sold out the show for April 6. Tickets originally ranged from $30-$300, and those already on the secondary market are going for $90-$1000.

Until this event, WWE had successfully prevented any other wrestling companies from booking the arena. G1 Supercard will be the first non-WWE wrestling event since the formation of WWE in 1963 as the WWWF. Before that, the NWA Capitol Wrestling Corporation would exclusively run the Garden, however that was still owned by Vince McMahon Sr. (and Joseph “Toots” Mondt) and was the precursor to the WWWF. Before that, you’d have to go to 1957 when Manhattan Wrestling Enterprises stopped running the Garden, which was owned by Mondt.

WCW did hold an event at the Paramount Theater (now called the Hulu Theater) in 1996, which is a 5,000 seat facility located beneath the Madison Square Garden arena, but not at the arena itself. WWE issued a statement last month regarding Madison Square Garden working with ROH, stating, “MSG is, of course, free to work with ROH however they want.”

ROH And NJPW Announce Madison Square Garden Event

ring of honor madison square garden new japan njpw

Madison Square Garden has famously been WWE‘s home territory for decades, but now that’s changing — as ROH and NJPW have announced an event at MSG in 2019.

Ring of Honor’s website states, “ROH and NJPW are proud to announce that on April 6th, 2019, the companies will join forces to present the ultimate wrestling event, “G1 Supercard,” to fans from around the world, LIVE from Madison Square Garden in New York City!”

As you may recall, a Sinclair higher-up revealed the show was in the works last month. ROH COO Joe Koff, however, told PWInsider that the date was pulled after MSG execs spoke with WWE officials.

Koff is quoted in today’s release saying: “This is destined to join a long list of historical wrestling moments and where better to hold it than at Madison Square Garden. I am extremely proud of what we have been able to achieve as a company and am very appreciative of how great our relationship with New Japan Pro-Wrestling has become. However, none of this would be possible without our fans, who are truly the best in the world. Madison Square Garden would not be possible without them and for that I am most grateful.”

Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Tetsuya Naitoare already confirmed for the event, with more to be announced as the show nears.

Tickets go on sale August 8 for Honor Club members and August 10 for everyone else.

Matt Hardy Proposes Showdown With The Young Bucks At All In

matt hardy all in bray wyatt young bucks

Matt Hardy is proposing he and Bray Wyatt make a trip to All In to defend the WWE RAW tag team titles against The Young Bucks.

Hardy tweeted out the suggestion after comments made by The Bucks following Saturday’s New Japanshow in San Francisco.

When asked about what they have left to accomplish, Matt Jackson made a suggestion some might consider out of the ordinary.

“How cool would it be to win the WWE tag team championship belts and not even have to perform on their show? That would be great,” he told reporters.

“A little one off?,” Nick responded.

“Yeah, a little one off.  That would be fun,” Matt replied.

The result was a tweet from Hardy that read: “What are these FANTASTICAL FANCIES that you speak of, Bucks of Youth?  September 1st?”  The tweet included pictures of Hardy/Wyatt with their belts and The Young Bucks carrying their titles.

Matt Hardy has extensive history with The Young Bucks — and we recently saw WWE give Nick and Matt quite a bit of promotion on their social channels.

Taeler Hendrix worked for ROH in 2011 and once again from 2015-2017. Hendrix announced her ROH departure on April 4, 2017, and the 29-year-old has been working elsewhere since.

Hendrix made claims yesterday that she wasn’t pushed in ROH or featured on television after turning down a sexual request from now-ROH Champion Jay Lethal. At this time there is no official word on the situation, but Hendrix wrote on Instagram that her attorneys are in an on-going investigation.

She took to social media today and made these accusations while writing, “Threatening my job, the Mae Young Classic, and my career will not deter me any longer.” You can check out her posts below.
