Re: The NJPW Thread

Any suggestions on what to watch from New Japan this year? I try to at least pay a little attention to New Japan, but Dragon Gate's been so good this year that I haven't even thought about it. I don't want to be totally out of the loop for their ROH invasion. I know King of Pro-Wrestling wasn't thi...

Re: What will the HonorCon announcement be?

I guess announcements are done (unless there are surprises/deals still being worked out like Shelley and Devitt), and we're just waiting for matches now. I'm more excited for that. I assume they won't be happening until the week after SCOH though, so, still another three weeks or so.

Agreed. I don't think I've ever given the main event of a major show a lower grade.

Re: The NJPW Thread

Yes you can have better than Wyatt-Bryan yet worse than a ***** match. Of course you can. Quality is a continuous scale mapped onto a discrete scale with star ratings. So of course there's an in between. As I've said, I have no problem with anybody stopping at 1/2 stars, as you've got to stop somew...

Re: New Orleans shows - transportation

I said I wouldn't have thought anything of it if it was one post, but, this happens every time there's a big show. Again, someone asked if they could crash on someones couch, with 1 post. It's....alarming. It would be nice if people came on here to talk ROH, or just wrestling (as the Other Discussio...

Re: Looking for these 2013 shows:

Thanks for the advice.... 1) First of all, I hope nobody pays 20$ for a DVD in the year 2014. 2) DVD's only cost 15$ brand new at ROH live shows. 3) I'd prefer to buy them in lots, rather than being shipped one by one. Doesn't make sense for the buyer/seller. As you pointed out. Let's say you sold ...

Re: BONUS RATE IT: Wolves vs. Coleman/Alexander (WAR)

Amazed Briscoes-RD didn't get enough votes. May have to consider lowering the parameters or something, because that's the kind of recent match from a big show that usually breezes the vote tally. That, and it was a really good match. Look at what people were voting it before it closed. I'm not for ...

Re: New Orleans shows - transportation

Can anyone tell me why around whenever a big show happens we get this shit that pops up on the forum? Are they bots? Are they trolls? What the fuck. I was going to ignore it, until I realized it happens all the time. (Final Battle, Wrestling Finest as example). I think the thread where someone with ...

You just can't use the Brazilian flag to get heat, right Jericho? :lol: Also. We know Vince McMahon doesn't care about Japanese stars. Never has, never will. I hope Triple H shows a little more appreciation for their work, which, is why I was hoping they were bringing KENTA in. I didn't want Yokozun...

Re: The NJPW Thread

I need to ask for people in the know: How does Samarai TV/NJPW television work in comparison to WWE? On "Strong Style Spirit" you see television tapings, and iPPV tapings. How big are the tv shows? Are they Saturday Night Slam? Are they Main Event? or is it closer to a RAW level, ala, impo...

Re: The NJPW Thread

That makes no sense. The whole point of a star rating is to grade a match. Saying that rating with quarter stars is meaningless because it is fickle could just as well be expanded into: "Why do you rate with half stars, you're just being fickle, it's either **** or *****". The whole point...

Does anyone know if NJPW has DVDs? Im looking on eBay and Highspots and can't find King of Pro-Wrestling (above). I'd prefer a seller in the US for lower shipping costs, but, for that match... I'm willing to pay extra. If it's just live streaming I'll be sad. Well for their official DVDs you'd have...

Unless trolling, you might want to reconsider your offer for shows that for the most part, aren't even a year old, and some aren't even a couple months old.

Re: What will the HonorCon announcement be?

Can do without him to be honest. The company is making new stars in front of our very eyes. I'm not saying he's washed up or anything, but, he doesn't need to be on every show. He can be like the Young Bucks before Raising the Bar Weekend. When he works an event it should be special and make people ...

Re: Official "Flyin' High" (Dayton, Ohio 3/22) Thread

I thought the Ringmaster's Challenge was really good until that god-awful 15 minute Ironman match. Don't get me wrong Hero has had very good matches thus far, but you don't have to go out of your way to see them. I'll actually agree with that right there. The first two falls could have carried this...

Re: The NJPW Thread

Hard pressed to say that was by far the best match I saw last year, and I don't ever give ***** to anything, unless it is the pinnacle of perfection, and that was. I haven't given anything ***** since Davey/Elgin two years ago. I might say a match was great, or unique, or different, and overrate it ...
