Why I'm Taking a Break

After drifting away when Gabe left, I caught up with ROH again in late 2010 and have been watching faithfully ever since. I ordered every big show. I stuck with it through all the iPPV fiascos, the Cocomore Drupals, Joe Koff's "What do they expect for $15? They spend more than that at Starbucks...

Based on photos that I've seen, I'd say the crowd looks maybe 15% smaller than last year.

Re: ROH Fantasy League-Season 5-LOS INGOBERNABLES DE ROHWORL

Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in WWE for 30 years under the McMahons they had steroids, racism, bullying, and screwjobs, but they produced Michaels, Austin, and the Attitude Era. In TNA they had brotherly love - they had fourteen years of democracy and peace...

Re: Official Field Of Honor 2016 Thread

Honestly I think we might get the exact same scenario that Eddie and Davey had. I see Fish taking the strap off of Cole before Final Battle. I see the main event of that show being Fish (C) vs. Cole vs. O'Reilly. Or MAYBE Fish (C) vs. O'Reilly and Cole vs. Rhodes. I don't see that at all. Plus, the...

Its a 1 year deal and he can opt out after 6 months i think.
Still - how can that be a "huge mistake"? If he gets a WWE offer he's available in February or March.

Castle is an obvious comparison but I don't feel that I'm being asked to take his gimmick seriously at all and I'm laughing WITH him.

Re: ROH is returning to England

I just find it hard to take his character as seriously as he seems to. The mask, the coat, the hat, the umbrella, the verbiage, the video splicing (occasionally in black and white) - all without a trace of irony. It's like he grabbed every 1989 neo-Victorian steampunk cliche and is doing them all at...

Re: ROH is returning to England

All of this is why I was amazed that they went with Calisto instead of El Generico, El Generico for me is a dream for WWE from the skits and backstage that could have done to Merchandise to also his wrestling. I honestly think he could have taken over the babyface role left by Ray Mysterio, but sad...

Re: ROH is returning to England

Both ROH itself and the news sites use the term "signed" liberally and ambiguously. "Signed" can mean anything from "signed up to appear on one or two shows for this promotion" to "signed a long-term contract to appear regularly with this promotion." Time will...

Re: Ever wonder why ROH was born with shitty commentary?

I have no idea why TNA won't just go back to Mike Tenay. He wasn't the best but he was at least competent. Tenay was not CLOSE to competent. He would constantly get major details wrong or say completely stupid things. Plus, he has the weirdest syntax ever. Tenay was awful. Stilted, unnatural delive...
