Re: Top Prospect Tournament 2014
Just for the outrage on here alone, I really want to see Cheeseburger have a 60 minute time limit draw. Make it against Rhett Titus to have people really going nuts. That would be epic.

Re: Nigel possibly wrestling again?
I really thought he was going to be Eddie's partner during his announcement at Final Battle. Nigel is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers bar-none. I would love to see him come back and have a match with Cole and one with Elgin. I think we'd see both hit 5 stars. But I don't see it happening. I th...

Re: Official Final Battle 2013 Thread
Final Battle is now up & available on VOD! Yay! I can't wait to hear what everyone else thinks about it! Oh, a funny thing I forgot...the stretcher in the Steen/Bennett match is like a WW2 era relic. People in my section were asking if you had to lose by getting dysentery in order to be carried...

Re: Why Is NYC Getting Fewer Shows?
LOL, JAPW is coming back again? I'll believe that when I see it. Maybe they can get Teddy Hart to no show for old times sake. I had a good legitimate laugh over that line. They are coming back. It was announced last month by their promoter. I don't think they will be the big indy they once were. I ...

Re: AJ Styles backstage at final battle?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but that's not how non-compete clauses work. A non-compete is a clause that must be fulfilled for the contract to be executed. For example, say I contracted you to paint my apartment for $2000 and there was a non-compete clause saying you couldn't paint any other apartm...

Re: AJ Styles backstage at final battle?
This is incorrect. Styles' contract ends in October of 2014. There was an opt out clause in his contract that allowed him to opt out of his contract one year early to negotiate a new deal. However, his non-compete clause doesn't expire until Oct of 2014. Is that why he can go to WWE and appear on i...

Sorry, mods, for all the double posts...I'm posting from my iPad today. Anyway, I'm *really* surprised by the lack of talk about the Adrenaline Rush/Young Bucks match. That match was one of the best I've seen all year. The crowd was super intense and the match was crazy. It was very spotty, but I l...

Re: Outlaw Inc: Stay or Go?
Let's be honest, the booking wasn't doing them any favours. You have Homicide and Kingston show up and break people's fingers and you follow that up by NOT having them kick ass and beating the shit out of people? I have to agree with Marketh here. The booking was all sorts of wrong. Last night it f...

I agree with turning HOT face. It's a great act and I think it would be a lot of fun to cheer them.LongTimeROHFan wrote:I'd like to see something with Rhett Titus AKA La Romantic Touch teaming or feuding with Taven. The HOT act is basically a babyface act now because of the girls, why not embrace it?

Re: Official Final Battle 2013 Thread
Being in the front row, I enjoyed the show a lot. I liked how Tomasso basically squashed Taven and it really put over his psychopath character by even hitting Scarlett. I think they did what they did with Edwards so that if his tryout with wwe doesn't workout he can come back and get revenge on the...

Re: Why Is NYC Getting Fewer Shows?
Part of me thinks that portions of the NYC fans being idiots plays a role in that as well (maybe not a big role, but a factor nonetheless). They were bad at Manhattan Mayhem V and that trend seemed to continue somewhat last night. If the crowd acts immature, they don't deserve the shows. They were ...

Re: Official Final Battle 2013 Thread
AIW and Beyond Wrestling books multiple intergender matches on shows, PWG is almost explicit towards women, Christina Von Eerie wrestled one of the most violent wrestlers Masada in CZW. Almost all the indys have men beating up on women, I think it would be more upsetting if women couldn't get invol...

Re: Official Final Battle 2013 Thread
Thank you for your interesting and thoughtful response. My feeling is that it's upsetting that the only woman to appear on ROH's biggest show of the year is one whose entire character can be neatly summed up as "conniving bitch-slut" and her role was to be on the receiving end of a piledr...

Re: Why Is NYC Getting Fewer Shows?
I would like more shows, too, or at least shows in NJ. But ROH needs to grow their fan base, too. So, if going to more markets helps, that's better for is in the long run.

Re: Official Final Battle 2013 Thread
I was at the show last night and thought it was absolutely great (with one glaring exception). -The reports I've read don't get across how perfectly the first half of the show was booked, and they all seem to shortchange the strap match. It was very old school, very well booked with a great finish,...
