Daily Update: WWE Raw, Stephanie McMahon & Triple H, Don West - WON/F4W - WWE news, Pro Wrestling News, WWE Results, AEW News, AEW results
Dave Meltzer has the Monday news update.
DAVE MELTZER
WWE:
Raw is tonight in San Diego. The only stuff advertised ahead was Rey & Dominick Mysterio in heir hometown against Finn Balor & Damian Priest, plus The Miz will respond to Logan Paul's challenge for SummerSlam. This will be the star of the SummerSlam build. Because of the holiday, the TV ratings would be expected to be down a lot and it's not even worth worrying about if that's the case. They will be helped somewhat coming off a PPV show. But after two straight big numbers, if they don't get a big one this week, or there is a big drop, it is completely meaningless.
WWE had a talent meeting before Money in the Bank. There wasn't much to come out out it. Stephanie McMahon and Paul Levesque spoke and told the talent they were an extended large family and told them how well things are going. They didn't address any of the Vince McMahon questions or any questions.
WWE did 30 percent discounts on tickets for SummerSlam and Raw in Madison Square Garden on 7/25 and got some good ticket movement in both places. There are more than 28,000 tickets distributed right now for Nashville for SummerSlam, which would be in excess of 25,000 paid. This is before any of the hard television hype for the show which should begin tonight.
Shotzi did a post saying that she knew the spot when she lost her footing on the ladder would make Botchmania and was accepting of that, but said the reaction of people who wanted her fired or worse was too much. She also noted that she wasn't injured in the match, which is a good thing.
Tomorrow night is WWE Night for the Atlanta Braves vs. St. Louis Cardinals game. Fans attending will get a WWE pillow of Austin Riley wearing an Austin 3:16 shit and a WWE title belt.
The Cardinals also have a WWE Night on 8/16.
AEW:
AEW set its all-time ratings record in the U.K. on ITV 4 on 6/24 with 188,000 viewers. That was the go-home show for Forbidden Door. Perhaps that has to do with Will Ospreay because ratings went way up for the shows he was on.
OTHER WRESTLING:
Impact did a personal video to Don West, who is battling brain cancer. Mike Tenay has been the point person regarding them doing so and Scott D'Amore contributed more than $13,000 to West's medical bills a few weeks ago. Besides those on the roster and in the current company, Impact got Dixie Carter, A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe and many others to do the video. Tenay and Don West were heavily moved by the comments made. Tenay and West were hoping the video could be shared and I believe right now they are looking to get everyone's approval for that.
Today is the 62nd anniversary of Les Thatcher's pro wrestling debut on July 4, 1960 for promoter Tony Santos out of Boston. He started up with a crew that included Pat Patterson. Thatcher trained in Boston and his first show was on July 4th in Blue Hills, ME, at the age of 19.
New Japan posted the Keiji Muto vs. Masahiro Chono finals of the first G-1 Climax tournament from Sumo Hall in 1991 on its YouTube page today. The success of that first tournament paved the way for something in its 32nd year starting in a few weeks, among the oldest wrestling traditions in the world. (thanks to Suju Abraham)
In yesterday's update when listing the ICW No Holds Barred results, we listed it as from Maybee, NY but it was from Maybee, MI.
