Re: Lethal vs. Cabana CANNOT happen in CHI for the title

Just a reminder to Delirious and I'm sure Jay Lethal will love to see this: Per Colt Cabana's defeat to Austin Aries at Reverse the Curse, he is NEVER allowed an ROH Title Match in Chicago again. Period. Nice troll to word it that way. I'm fine either way. Lethal will bring it up, and/or Nigel will...

Re: For those local to Chicago

AAW has announced the return of Pentagon Jr and Fenix for the Friday show. There's a good possibility that they'll face each other. Tickets for that show go on sale later this week. Freelance Wrestling, which has been getting a ton of buzz with their free streams, is also running late that night. So...

Re: Supercard of Honor X - April 1-2, 2016 - Dallas, TX

So if I hear the complaints right, the show needs to be presented (not necessarly executed, PRESENTED) as a major, blow away event, with matches promoted months and months in advance. But don't make them an iPPV because of what WWE is doing.

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

But it was also a pretty busy start of the year for the contracted talent when factoring in Japan, working 7 out of 8 weekends.

Re: Supercard of Honor X - April 1-2, 2016 - Dallas, TX

Like most WM weekend events, it's a new market and a new venue, so we can't say for sure. But I think for these shows, it'll be bleacher/raisers seats.

Re: For those local to Chicago

Now that the full tour is up and running, I just want to note that AAW has a show on Friday May 6, and that both the Cubs and White Sox are in town. Plus there's always the chance of Bulls or Blackhawks playoffs (Blackhawks more likely). Plus there's everything with the city itself year round. So a ...

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

Many times the issue with the border is not having the papers in order. Yes there are a couple with bigger issues but every promotion has that. All the reasons we can say now (travel, dollar value, Talent) weren't issues last May. If anything it would be much cheaper to bring international talent t...

Re: Dave Meltzer confirms WWE is raiding NJPW; ROH star incl

Realized there is a slight possibility of Balor Club (or at least Anderson) debut in Chicago at the NXT show. Anderson and Gallows are booked Friday night in Milwaukee with BCW. I think Gallows has another booking Saturday, but Anderson looks to be free and in the area. That can't happen. Anderson ...

Re: Growing concerns about NXT?

From a November 11 Chicago Ridge Parks meeting. WWE/NXT is looking to do another event at Frontier. He stated that Frontier is booked up until next fall but he is working with them on this for the future. https://www.chicagoridgeparks.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=956:nove...

Re: Supercard of Honor X - April 1-2, 2016 - Dallas, TX

BTW, I've been looking at tickets regularly for both nights regularly. Just going by the reserved seats, Friday was selling well ahead of Saturday. Now with NXT announced, only single seat reserved tickets remain for Saturday.

Re: Growing concerns about NXT?

One of the issues with the Road Trip shows this year was that the premium seats weren't selling that quickly. Fans wanted to see NXT live, but not pay that much. And I think they ultimately just had fans move forward in some of the cities.

So we'll see how these cities go.

Re: Supercard of Honor X - April 1-2, 2016 - Dallas, TX

Can't wait for people to go 'ROH should bump up their show so we can see NXT!' even though ROH's show has been announced months in advance. After last year, everyone should know the risk they were making if they bought ROH tickets early, but also really wanted to go to NXT. I waited until the NXT a...

FYI for Milwaukee, there's a College Basketball game across the street, so you may be paying for more expensive parking near the ballroom, and dealing with traffic in general.

Re: For those local to Chicago

Midway is closer, but it's actually not as big of a time saver as you would think. With ORD, it's pretty much a straight shot on the Tri State and three traffic lights total, while with Midway you're going through residential streets and constant traffic lights. I say just pick the airport with the ...

Re: Official Reload Tour 2015 Thread

Saw this nugget from PWInsider this morning: The 9/12 Chicago Ridge, IL event was sold out with standing room, so that's likely in the 1,400-1,600 range. I'm horrible with crowd estimates, so I won't dispute the number. The floor seating was pretty full, but I feel there was a good amount of room in...

Re: Official Reload Tour 2015 Thread

Not sure why you would think Chicago Ridge is odd, but Milwaukee is ok, even though it's at least half and probably a 1/3 of what the fieldhouse can hold. Milwaukee would also be great, but if the goal is multiple markets, I could see Milwaukee being skipped for a bigger place that's a bit further a...
