Re: Breaking News: ROH on Destination America
Thanks for explaining Bullet Club. Since I do now watch New Japan, I really know nothing about them as a unit. I love the ringwork of Styles and the Bucks, so it always seemed odd they were with this other team I cannot stand watching. We disagree on O'Reilly, which is fine. But do you think his rin...

Re: Breaking News: ROH on Destination America
Putting it here since I watched the episode on D.A. I was very disappointed with the main event. Not sure if it's because they are "New Japan" guys, or they do better work in other matches, but the Bullet Club were pathetic in my eyes. Gallows with his face paint from the 80's and a gut bi...

Re: The TV title
Oh, and by the way, Samoa Joe competed in eight non-title singles matches in ROH during his World title run, and lost four. Which just proves my point, because it hurt Samoa JOe, and it didn't help Austin Aries when he finally pinned him. Which is what I'm saying. Aries victory would have been so m...

Re: The TV title
4. Dalton Castle pinning the world champion but not becoming the world champion doesn't help him. Because you've already said he's not good enough for a world title match, and now you've booked him to not be good enough to beat Lethal when the biggest prize in ROH is actually on the line. So in ess...

Re: Wrestling related pet peeves of yours...
I'm sorry but a basic DDT as a finisher in 2015 isn't going to work. By your MMA logic, one good punch should usually be enough to win a match. Wrestling isn't MMA, it is a different environment where different moves are different levels of effective. The same way a hammerlock doesn't win a match (...

Re: Wrestling related pet peeves of yours...
...Austin did kick out at two. No, he didn't. The plan was for him to kick out of a tombstone. But when Owen really hit the move, Austin could not move. Go back and watch it. Owen kicks out for Austin. Austin has stated this as a fact in a few different interviews since. He was not able to kick out...

Re: Wrestling related pet peeves of yours...
Maybe because I've been a fan since 1983, but I cannot cannot cannot stand wrestlers using piledrivers, DDT's, or brainbusters as a transition move. If I was the booker, I would tell everybody "If you take one of those moves, the match is over. You get pinned." Because nobody on Earth coul...

Re: The TV title
Having Lethal defend both belts would be the single worst decision in the history of ROH to me (well, maybe one step above that rape thing years ago, but that was between my stints as a ROH fan). 1. Who in the hell would challenge Lethal for the TV title when he's the World Champion? The wrestler's...

Re: The TV title
1) You have guys who haven't done enough to earn a world title shot get the TV title shot. Simple. Have Dalton Castle beat Donovan Dijak on TV, that isn't enough to earn him a World title shot, but earns him a TV title shot. 2) World champions get pinned to set up future challengers in matches wher...

Help with ROH "Super Cards"
I am trying to compile a list of the Ring of Honor "Super Cards". I use that in parenthesis simply because I'm looking for events that were either on Pay-Per-View or Internet Pay Per View Live. I Do not include the ROH Pay Per Views from the late 2000's that were taped months ahead, nor an...

Ring of Honor Year One
I have all of year one on videotape, but would like this DVD. It isn't available through ROHwrestling.com, and I did a quick search without finding it. Anybody know of a place to get one?

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Assuming Lethal wins the World title, who should be next after him? I'm thinking maybe A.J. Styles at the 14th Anniversary PPV. However, with his New Japan commitments he would probably just be a transitional champion. Who after him? Maybe a 2nd Adam Cole reign. I know most here like Kyle O'Reilly, ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
After viewing this last weekend's TV episode, I really feel that ACH is ready and needs to get the World Television Championship. He is super over with the crowds, has the moves, and his matches are always exciting. He's been in there with the best of ROH, and it's time he starts winning his matches...

Re: DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR XIII LIVE ON IPPV
Hate that one too. The feud is built as dominant champion vs. dominant undefeated champion. Your scenario break that build before the match, usually making it a normal champion vs. challenger match because Lethal has dropped his belt and Briscoe has dropped his streak. I don't understand why you'd ...

Re: DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR XIII LIVE ON IPPV
Having Briscoe lose twice so quickly but only lose the world title in the second one totally deflates the program to me. Having Briscoe, the world champ, challenging Lethal for the TV title the first time also makes little sense to me here. If Briscoe really thinks he is "The Man" and hold...

Re: ROH's production values
After reading about how horrible Final Battle 2014 looked for months here, I feared the worst when popping the DVD in this last week. After watching the whole show, I cannot understand the complaints. NOw, I was not there live so I cannot have an opinion on how bad it was live for the fans. BUT, the...

Re: Growing concerns about NXT?
Let me begin by saying that I love NXT. Watch the show every week on the network and only ROH's show is better in my opinion. Love the talent, the booking, just everything. So the thought of NXT being a second brand rather than a developmental territory, and a touring one at that, is great to me. I ...

Thinking about giving Evolve a look, since it sounds interesting and I've loved Gabe's booking in the past. Not able to go all the way back to the start, but thinking about starting with the "reboot" at Evolve 31. Any thoughts on these shows, starting with 31? Worth watching? Not worth it?...
