Ticket scalpers are set to make a ton of money after getting their hands on AEW’s All Out tickets yesterday and putting them on sale on secondary market websites with a huge markup in price.
When Wrestling-Online.com attempted to get in line for a ticket, we were in line in the 60,000 range, meaning there were that much people queuing in front for a ticket. For an arena that can hold around 11,000, that’s a pretty insane level.
Checking secondary market websites for tickets, the $30 tickets are going from $125 to $250, the $90 tickets are going for over $200, and $160 tickets are going for over $500. There are tickets over $4,000 which went on sale originally for $90.
It’s safe to say that All Elite Wrestling is the hottest thing in town at the moment and at this level, they can afford to go and sell out larger arenas. The trick starts when starting the weekly TV show and trying to fill up medium-to-large arenas around the United States.Click Here: 2021 soccer tracksuit

PWInsider has more information of WWE Studios’ first collaboration project with Netflix. The film will be titled The Main Event with filming to begin later this month and run through late August.
The Main Event tells the story of a ten-year-old boy who is bullied but dreams of growing up to become a WWE superstar. He gets to live his dream earlier when he discovers the secret to having super-strength in his breakfast cereal, becoming “The Spaghetti Kid.”
John Cena, Sheamus, The Miz, and Bray Wyatt are supposed to make cameos in the film. There are also references to NXT.
WWE has yet to publicly announce the film or the relationship with Netflix.Click Here: 2021 Soccer Tracksuit

GIRVAN DEMPSEY IS “looking forward to a new chapter” after it was announced that his time on the coaching staff at Bath will end when his contract expires this summer.

The returning David Williams will become the club’s attack and backs coach as Dempsey departs after three seasons.

The former Ireland international had served as Leinster’s backs coach before joining the Premiership outfit in 2018.

“He is an outstanding person inside and out. I want to thank him for everything he has given to the club in his three seasons with us,” Bath director of rugby Stuart Hooper said of the 45-year-old Dubliner.

“He, like all of us, is judged on the 80 but it is his attention to detail in the 10,000 minutes that is a true reflection of his character. Girvan will be missed by everyone and we all wish him the success he deserves in his next venture.”

A farewell statement from Bath credited the ex-Leinster fullback with being “a big part of the club both on and off the field, playing an integral role in developing young players on the cusp of the international game” since his arrival.

“Bath is a very special place and I’ve really enjoyed my time at Bath Rugby,” said Dempsey, a Heineken Cup winner who earned 82 caps for Ireland during his playing career.

“I’d like to thank Stuart [Hooper], all the players and staff for the warm welcome they afforded me and my family. I also want to thank our brilliant supporters, who we have sadly missed down at the Rec.

“I leave having forged many great friendships and with a lot of happy memories. I’m really looking forward to a new chapter and I wish everyone at Bath Rugby every success for the future.”

Williams, who previously worked in Bath’s academy, will succeed Dempsey following a two-and-a-half-year spell as attack coach with the Sharks in Super Rugby.

In the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez spoke about the live crowd at WWE Stomping Grounds last night, as Alvarez was in attendance for the event. Alvarez noted that the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington, the venue for the arena, has no screens inside of it and that meant for some fans watching live, it was hard to see the action. This was especially true in the cage match between Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston, which many fans complained about. Fans with decent seats had issues, which likely means it was worse for those sitting higher up.
Making things worse was that WWE actually has a screen, the tron that is used for entrances, but WWE did not show the in-ring action on there. According to Meltzer, the reason WWE doesn’t show matches on the Tron is because WWE Executive Vice President of Television Production Kevin Dunn feels it’s “too distracting.”Click Here: Luis Suarez Jersey Sale

AFTER A FEW weeks discussing various structural issues in Irish rugby, Murray Kinsella, Gavan Casey and Bernard Jackman decided to look inwards this week and delve into rugby punditry, a motion put forward for discussion in The42′s members rugby WhatsApp group following Toulouse’s Heineken Champions Cup final victory over La Rochelle.

As well as sharing their experiences of being part of broadcast teams for live games and ‘analysing the analysts’, Murray and Bernard fielded a host of questions and suggestions from the group, one of which came from The42 member Conor.

His bone of contention lay with how the highlights of Pro14 matches are cut, and the fact that they tend to be only three minutes long whether the game in question was “a 10-try or one-try affair”. He added that “where it’s a one-try affair, two and half minutes of the highlights are kickers lining up kicks — never the passage that actually led to the penalty; never any good or entertaining passage of play.

“The whole thing drives me nuts,” Conor added. “Highlights can be a great advertisement for the sport and this opportunity is constantly missed.”

“Definitely, definitely agree with all that,” Murray began. “I’ve had similar frustrations myself in the past and that’s why I always try to get a full copy of a game to watch back: because the highlights package just isn’t going to give you a full picture, particularly when, as the message says, it’s just penalty after penalty and you don’t even see the penalty offence to get an understanding of that side of it.

“It should be easier for fans to be able to access games after the fact.

“I can probably understand more if it’s going to be a classic and it’s going to be sold on a DVD at some stage, but for your kind of standard games week to week, it doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense to me.”

Gavan accused a cohort of the sport’s custodians of living in “a bygone era”, suggesting that their apparent ‘hoarding’ approach to past footage does little other than stunt the growth of the game and, indeed, prohibit the visibility of the product that both competition officials and their broadcast affiliates are trying to develop for their own interests.

“If you look at America”, he said, “the NBA and Adam Silver (NBA commissioner) basically made the call to have a free-for-all with NBA footage on social media so that if LeBron [James] or Steph Curry or Kevin Durant or somebody does something unbelievable, somebody else can just rip the video and tweet it out and there’ll be no repercussions. And they’ve grown the game massively, increased ratings over the last few years, while allowing that.

“Whereas if you look at the NFL, which is actually struggling for viewership; you have the problem, also, of players being somewhat hidden behind helmets and they’re not as readily identifiable; but when people would rip NFL clips there would be almost legal repercussions for it, or tweets would be taken down, accounts might even be suspended — I think Twitter were kind of working with the NFL on that.

“Or am I missing the point?” Gavan asked Bernard.

“No. I didn’t realise that that had happened in America but I think it’s very smart — and it needs to happen,” Jackman said. You have a load of people now who have a deep knowledge of the game, who are actively interested in spending time picking out clips trying to formalise tactical and technical ideas and share it for free.

“And as a sport, whether it’s World Rugby or the different organisations, we’re putting blockers in place — which sounds mental because, effectively, it’s a way to grow the game.

On the latest Chasing Glory, Kofi Kingston discussed the origin of his Jamaican character and the trouble it brought him, including why he dropped it. Kingston told Lilian Garcia that the character came from promo class in developmental, and that he eventually had to drop it after a BBC reporter put out an article saying Kofi was ashamed of and trying to hide his Ghanian heritage. Highlights and the full podcast are below:
On where the Jamaican gimmick came from: “Oh my god. So here’s the thing, like when I was training, the big deal was that you needed a character, right? That was the big thing, you’ve gotta have a character. ‘Vince is liking characters right now.’ So I remember being on the way to promo class, and I was listening to the Damian Marley CD. And I was like, ‘Huh. Okay, this is an amazing CD.’ I say this every single time, top to bottom it still holds up. So one day I just came in and they were like, ‘Okay well, you’ve gotta go up there and cut a promo.’ And I was just like, [affects Jamaican accent] ‘Kofi Kingston from Kingston, Jamaica.’ I cut a promo on Ric Flair for stealing my Jamaican beef patty, or you know, giving him one that he threw in the trash, something like that. Something dumb. And everybody was just like, ‘Oh, man! You’ve gotta do that! Whoa!’ So that was it, trying to find a way to stand out is so important. And I didn’t go with the Ghanian character, because at the time Prince Nana who worked for ROH — I think he still does — was like, the Ghanian Prince. So for me to come out and be like, ‘Oh, I’m from Ghana too!’ Everyone would be like, ‘Oh, Prince Nana,’ you know what I mean? I just wanted to do something that would stand out. So I went the Jamaican route, never having been to the country. Knowing very few people of Jamaican descent. But I did listen to that Damian Marley CD several times, so I figured it qualified me to pose as a Jamaican character.”
On getting criticized by Jamaicans and Ghanians: “Number one, and I say all the time. It’s hard enough to remember what you have to say, let alone how you have to say it. My Jamaican accent was garbage. It was horrible, and people on MySpace from Jamaica let me know every day with their messages, like ‘Oh, you’re not from Jamaica! Kofi’s not even a Jamaican name!” But then, people from Ghana would be like, ‘Oh, you want to claim Jamaica, then you go be from Jamaica!’ So now I’m getting it from both ends. I’m like, ‘Guys, you don’t hold Samuel L. Jackson to the standard of being Nick Fury, you know what I’m saying? What is happening here?’ It was just a character, guys! It’s wrestling, entertainment, World Wrestling Entertainment! I’m just trying to entertain. ‘No! No!’ I’m like, ‘Oh my god, it’s not that serious.’”
On staying in character throughout interviews: “So I had an interview, and at the time Vince was saying, he told me, ‘No matter what you do, every interview you do, you’ve gotta be Jamaican. You’ve got to be in character, you’ve gotta be in gimmick.’ So we used to have WWE Magazine back in the day, and they are obviously all smart to people playing characters. They know my real name, I’d see like a 203 number come up and I’d be like, ‘Oh, this is like [Mark] Carrano, or somebody from the office,’ so I’d answer it and be like, ‘Hello, what’s going on?’ And they’d be like, ‘Oh, this is Sal from WWE Magazine, is Kofi there, are you available?’ I’m like, ‘Oh, hold on, hold on, one second? [affects accent] ‘What’s goin’ on, Sal? Kofi Kingston from Kingston, Jamaica.’ This is a print article, man. This is a print article, but Vince said, he said everything had to be in gimmick, and like they know, and I know, and it’s just so awkward.”
On the fact that he wasn’t Jamaican going public: “So an article came out, I did an interview with a guy from BBC. And you know, BBC is a big deal. So it was a regular media day, I’m doing my thing, and then all of a sudden I get to him, and he’s just like, ‘Oh, Kofi’s a very African name! You’re from Ghana, why are you ashamed of your heritage?’ I’m like, uh-oh. [in accent] ‘Well no, Kofi Kingston, my mom really paid tribute to the Motherland, I’m from Jamaica, she really liked Kofi, it’s a very popular name over there, you know!’ But he kept on grilling me and grilling me, and grilling me. And when I hung up the phone with him, I was like, ‘Oh my god. I don’t know man, this is BBC, this might be over.’ And then like an hour later, my mom calls me up, and she’s like, ‘Oh, someone just called me to do an interview. I gave an interview, he was asking about your heritage and I was like ‘Yeah, he’s from Ghana … But you know, he’s just playing a character.” I’m like, ‘Mom, kayfabe, mom!’ So he had gone through and found my dad’s number, and then my dad ended up giving him my mom’s number, and then my mom just thought this guy was trying to ask her questions. By the time the article comes out, it’s like ‘Oh, Kofi Kingston, he’s ashamed of his Ghanian heritage’ and this and that.”
On talking with Vince about it: “So now this article comes out, and I remember we had a Raw in New Orleans, ironically enough. And I was outside Vince’s office. And finally he was like, ‘Yeah well, what’s going on?’ I was like, ‘Vince, it’s over man. It’s over. This article just came out, everyone knows I’m not Jamaican. What are we gonna do?’ And he’s like. ‘Oh well, don’t worry about it. Not as many people are gonna see that article as you think.’ I was like, ‘Okay.’”
On finally dropping the gimmick: “So we kept on doing the Jamaican thing, and it wasn’t until about like four or five months later. I think it was Bragging Rights, the PPV. And before we go out, they’re like ‘Yeah, I think we’re gonna drop the accent.’ I’m like ‘Oh, how we gonna do this?’ ‘Well, we’ll just have you start talking normal.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, okay.’ So if you go back and watch it, it’s Triple H in the you know, we’re going back and forth and our team is getting all catty and I’m the guy that has to calm everybody down. And I just start talking like ‘Guys, guys, we gotta get on the same page. If not, they’re gonna obliterate us, man come on. What are we doing? Does anyone have any questions?’ And Triple H is like ‘Well yeah, I’ve got a question. Aren’t you supposed to be Jamaican?’ And that was it, I wasn’t Jamaican anymore.”
On people assuming what happened: “A lot of people asked like, ‘Did you mean to [drop the gimmick], did you forget about your accent?’ I’m like ‘No, man. You think I would just walk out there and forget?’ So that was it. The Jamaican accent was done.”Click Here:
