NJPW Having A Record Sales Year, Musician Watches "All In," New NJPW TV Deal, Tenille Dashwood
- Above, Thunder Rosa and Kelly Klein took on Tenille Dashwood and Sumie Sakai in a ROH Women of Honor match from earlier this year. Sakai would hit smash mouth on Rosa to get the victory for her team.
- In an interview with Bushiroad President (NJPW parent company) Takaaki Kidani revealed NJPW is already having their best year in sales at 4.9 billion yen ($44.1 million). Thanks to a translation by Chris Charlton, this number has surpassed their previous top year in 1997. Kidani also noted this is the second most in sales for a pro wrestling company with WWE obviously at number one.
