Re: NJPW Thread
Did anyone watch any of WrestleKingdom.? I don't subscribe to World so I just watched the finishes when people posted them on reddit. Any thoughts on the results and where story's currently stand? I think I'm a bigger New Japan fan than maybe anyone on the board, but I was skeptical leading into bo...

Re: ROH MOTY Awards 2019 - Results!
Taven deserves Best Wrestler for sure. His in-ring performances in 2019 really should've shut up a lot of critics. I liked Taven before 2019, and he still went way above my expectations of what kind of worker/star he could perform as. With the injection of talent that came in last year, I probably ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Believe it or not, this will be the first wrestling show I've attended since I quit watching WWF regularly. I saw a house show at the Denver Coliseum sometime in 2001, and that was it. The indie scene here has always been awful and ROH/TNA/MLW/NJPW have run a combined zero shows here. Wow, geez, co...

Re: ROH MOTY Awards 2019
I haven't seen Cobb vs. Rush yet, so I might change my vote here. When is the deadline? I want to say at the end of the year, but I would also like to see more votes before it's over. No award for best feud, best show, or best promos? I have a suspicion that more categories leads to less people par...

Re: Officlal NWA Thread
Some really shockingly disgusting shit from the top NWA personnel, if I'm being honest. Very quick escalation from it being the "check yourself when you reproduce social politics from thirty years ago" promotion to becoming the "I think these guys are dogwhistling crypto-white nationa...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Just deleted a really bad spat on this thread! New policy is to not mention rovert. I will start scrubbing your posts from here if you do, because the only thing worse than getting into forum messiness/beef is having to clean it up. Even if you have your reasons to hold something against someone, t...

Re: If one went into a coma in 2007 and woke up today...
I think someone who reemerged from 2007's ROH fandom would be horrified that there are no longer live reports about what color of tie Bobby Cruise is wearing to the show. A few years ago, I might have drew out that the Bullet Club/Elite appearances and content were probably the closest successor to ...

Whatever is actually going on with Shane, at the very least they are doing well in promoting the angle. (Hope he is getting paid now more than he was before.)

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
How is NJUSA already getting one in on ROH during their very first tour? I wonder if they do end up adding those phantom dates for Honor Rising elsewhere in the year if they can't work anything else out in February. 2020 could be an ugly, ugly year.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
My first instinct is to read the backstage production as "fly by seat of their pants" rather than it being in a toxic imbroglio of selfish creative control. I can believe four inexperienced (as showrunners) VPs and Tony and other producers would have a lot of struggle over in creating two ...

Re: AEW Discussion
Those are solid criticisms. With Schiavone, he's a voice familiar to many people (and I think he's been way better than anyone expected he would be). Excalibur was at the time one of the better unsigned wrestling commentators, so I get him too. On TV you serve the casual audience and the immediate a...

Re: AEW Discussion
So... what do you guys think of AEW?? Think we've seen enough of the product thus far to get a pretty good idea of it will be. I'm a lot less high I was on it than I was even a month ago, but they came out of the gate with a highly watchable live TV format, which was unbelievably refreshing after T...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
From everything I've seen so far, nothing about Marty's relationship with ROH seems more than a handshake agreement (barring AnHonorableMention's account of them bartering a huge deal for Marty). It looks like he's trying to gain momentum for himself while he's kind of just been sitting in ROH for t...

Re: La Faccion Ingobernable
It absolutely fell flat being introduced by video. As stated previously if you had to do it that night then you had to do it via video. I'd rather the introduction be during the world title rematch with LFI interfering to help Rush win. I think the Final Battle: Fallout should have been completely ...

Despite how much of a downer 2019 has felt for almost the entire year, it is still filled with immensely talented wrestlers. Let's review some of the highlights from the year. To vote, choose up to three categories using a 5, 3, and 1 point rating system. The nominees with the most points will win t...
