– Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter said today that Ring of Honor’s first live pay-per-view Best in the World did a little over 12,000 buys, up from the original estimate which was 10,000 which was always said to be a rough estimate. 12,000 buys means ROH didn’t just break even with their first venture into live PPV but actually made some money, and the buyrate doesn’t include who would have bought the PPV internationally on uStream. To put this buyrate into comparison, it did better than a majority of TNA’s pay-per-views over the past four years.

– ROH are still looking for a new location for Final Battle but are dead set on it being from New York City. They want to make Final Battle an event worthy of the slogan, “the biggest event in wrestling” and have already agreed with some talents such as AJ Styles to take part. While it’s unknown if they’ll run the Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom it’s still a possibility, however, if they do it the ticket prices will be increased significantly.
