— One of the main reasons WWE will be pushing the “Tout” service hard on Monday Night RAW in the coming months is that they have provided startup funding for the company giving them an ownership stake. While it isn’t known how much WWE invested, WWE was described as the biggest investor. As promoted on TV, WWE plans to utilize 10-15 second video clips from fans responding to questions and different aspects of the show. The app received around 30,000 downloads alone this past Monday.

— Speaking of social media, WWE’s YouTube channel placed at No. 6 for the week ending 7/18 drawing 2,717,904 views. The channel was behind The Warner Sound, SourceFed, Shut Up Cartoons, Machinima Prime and ENTV. The channel also came in at No. 6 last week.

— At today’s New Japan show in Yamagata City, two new champions were crowned.

First, the team of Forever Hooligans (Alex Koslov & Rocky Romero) defeated current IWGP Jr. Tag Champions Jushin “Thunder” Liger & Tiger Mask IV to become the new IWGP Jr. Tag Team Champions.
