He's defending against Chris Sabin and I could be wrong but I think Sabin is still owed a shot from a couple years ago.
Good memory! This is accurate!

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

He messed up the timeline for getting their "Live/destination" TV deal; said they were planning from March 2019; and they would air in July 2019. Then blamed COVID; then retracted and said he meant July of 2020. Basically said they hired more staff/production; to get ready for it; and the...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Cary has no money invested at all, and won’t. Cary and I are kicking around funding a celebration of Allentown wrestling convention and live event but nothing serious at this point. I concur with Jeff that Cary likely isn't going to be involved in anything from here on out but we've started talking...

Gresham and Baron Black. I know they're the ones running it. So they're also putting up the money to run this too? I was curious. I was thinking Cary might be involved.

Re: Final Battle - End of an Era Thread

Getting nostalgic from reading the arguments for the old board. The fighting makes it feel like the good old days again 😀

Everyone take a breath, smile, laugh, cry, or do whatever you need to do. We're gonna have a good time tomorrow night and I hope you join us.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Genuine testament to Minoru, PCO, and others wrestling into their 50s. I remember during the Attitude Era when fans on message boards would say 40 is ancient but with improved conditioning, improved wrestling conditions, more known about diet and nutrition, it's neat to see wrestlers for even longer...

They are legitimate alternates in the event of injury or COVID19 - we had the same for the Pure Tournament.

TV, with some exceptions like the traditional year in review, will be original matches as you are accustomed to in 2021.

Brave of you to admit you went to a billy corgan solo show. What were you thinking? Just wanted to see him live once? I made that mistake with Kid Rock 8 years ago. My friend asked me to go to Kid Rock show in Florida, i had never seen him live, so i did him a favor. We drove from NC To Fla and bac...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

They weren't even running Hammerstein last time pre-pandemic because of costs. Even though demand for tickets is up, will the expense of running there at a loss be worth it? Who knows. I think the issue is that Terminal 5 and Melrose Ballroom are definitely too small and Hulu Theater is definitely ...

There is not a more valuable person to ROH than Ian Riccaboni right now. I am thrilled for Ian not only as a great announcer but a great podcast host, a great family man, and an advocate for all people. Above all else, the person Ian is, being retained is a major asset to ROH. Congrats and well EAR...

Ian is the best play by play guy in the business right now and it's not even close. Thank you! We did the extension relatively quietly a few months ago. I was extremely flattered for a number of reasons, the most of which being them even approaching me with an extension ahead of expiration in this ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

So Brian Johnson is getting a TV Title match even though he’s not in the top 5 and rarely wins. Makes sense?!?!? It does! The ROH Experience Page asked who fans wanted to see compete for the ROH World Title. Shane Taylor won the fan vote so he gets the shot. The ROH Experience asked fans who they w...

Re: ROH Dream Matches - We never got

I wish we would have gotten Lio Rush vs Kyle O'Reilly personally. Just missed it/didn't quite make sense with the feuds and issues happening at the time but I think that would have been a really fun one to call.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Not sure how/if the Observer breaks things down by PxP and Analyst but Caprice is the best Analyst in the world if not the best outright announcer. Please consider this a formal request to vote for him in year end award voting.

Re: Final Battle 2020 Official Thread

7) Caprice and Ian are a really strong announce team. Coleman’s ability to analyse and translate what we’re seeing in the ring is great. And I wonder if Ian has made an active decision to tone down the musical quips and reduce the amount of hyperbolic rhetoric. I thought his call on Brody using str...
