What's the deal of NJPW with the secondary titles? Several years ago, NJPW created the Intercontinental title. NJPW gave the title a lot of prestige with Nakamura, Tanahashi, Suzuki, Naito... but then deactivated the title. NJPW also created the USA title, years of performances to create a prestigious title (Moxley, Omega, Ospreay). But the title was also deativated to create the Global title, which has a path to become a prestigious title. Whats the point to create two secondary titles, make them prestigious and deactivated just to create a new one?
I think it was just that over time, they decided to go in a different direction. Everything has a finite lifespan.
I was interested to learn that Vince McMahon has been living in a condo, for at least the past several years. What happened to his famous mansion, notorious for large oil painting of himself, and where he used to host his booking meetings and often meet with the talent?
I would think the family sold it off. Linda hasn't lived in CT in some time and as you said, Vince was living in that condo penthouse.
Do you think Madison Square Garden will remove Vince McMahon from their Hall of Fame?
No. I don't believe the Hall is even publicly displayed at this point. I never say never, but don't see them removing McMahon.
I was surprised to find out the New York State Athletic Commission still has a curfew and that it is now 10:30 instead of 11:00. Does this apply to every athletic event at MSG? I know for a fact that nationally televised Knicks and Rangers games as well as boxing matches have gone well past 10:30. Is this curfew on a case by case basis or is there some other reason it applies to the WWE and not other events?
It's a curfew imposed on professional wrestling.
I saw your report that WWE had to adjust their setup in Little Rock due to the building's restrictions in bad weather. I'm curious as to where they got the large lighting towers that were used to hold the lighting rigs. Do they travel with these large towers just in case they are ever needed? Or do they reach out to local production companies to supply that sort of thing if needed?
They are a multi-billion dollar touring entity. I am sure they had the connections to get anything and everything trucked in as quickly as possible.
With the news that CNN Center has officially gone away, it made me chuckle and think about all the rumors of Bill Watts raising hell when he worked there for WCW. Has Watts ever talked about that era?
Watts wrote a book, The Cowboy and the Cross: The Bill Watts Story: Rebellion, Wrestling and Redemption in 2006, so yes.
