Re: Rest In Peace Jay

I kept together until I saw the look on all the wrestlers on the stage. Adam Page's face started to crack me, but Dalton's heartbroken face broke me.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I think they could phase the anniversary show out. Especially because it was always so close to Supercard and it felt like big, big moments were saved for Supercard.

I'd do Supercard Of Honor (March) Death Before Dishonor (June), Glory By Honor (September), and Final Battle (December).

Re: AEW Discussion

They should have cut the JAS stuff so they could have let the main event have some breathing room. They rushed the intro and the finish/post-match SO bad. Every Dynamite has like 5 minutes worth of stuff that should have been cut and causes the rest of the show to compensate. BUT with that said, yea...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I don't mind it, but there are other events I'd like to make sure are kept. No Glory By Honor last year was a huge mistake. That's a marquee event.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

If they aren't 20% higher than from before he bought ROH, then ROH is in a bad place.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I doubt they will. TK made a big mention of the PPVs will come to Honor Club after 90 days or whatever.

I'm sure the PPV will be good-to-great, but I don't know that it will have any type of draw or compelling angle to it.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

This PPV is the real test of ROH now that FTR-Briscoes are gone.

Re: AEW Discussion

Honestly, just stop jam packing the shows with stuff. That's the main, MAIN comparison to TNA -- the constant need to rush out of things because you overbooked the show. The Thunder Rosa title win last week was one of the most blatant examples of this.

Re: AEW Discussion

Honestly, the best of 7 series has been great for AEW in terms of resetting the show. The show feels like it has a flow now and is not just cobbled together. It's still not what it was a year ago, but it's getting closer to regaining that status.

Re: What company is best following in the tradition of ROH

I would have said AEW before, but Tony kind of abandoned the booking style that made it feel like ROH in 2022. There was a LOT of booking comparisons between prime ROH and AEW in 2020-2021, but it all went out the window this spring. Nothing else is close really. Maybe STARDOM? But that's a really o...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

So what was the point in taking down Honor Club for the year? Seems like just an odd way to take in less money?

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I'd say 25k is a decent number, but it could have and should have been higher even with the start time and the competition. They announced the dog collar match days before the PPV and literally gave you no other good reason to see it. The ROH PPVs this year are entirely reliant on the Briscoes-FTR a...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Tony still did Gresham wrong. I don't care if the dude has an ego or not. He was the champ of the promotion you bought, he was the one going around trying to keep the ROH name alive during the first quarter when everything was in limbo, and then you barely did anything with him before having him unc...

Re: IMPACT Wrestling Official Thread

I'd buy your ECW argument except ECW had rabid crowds at best and hot crowds at worst. Impact hasn't had consistently good crowds in about a decade. Maybe more.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I really do hate that they couldn’t just refund me back my money for left over HC months that remained on my account. This whole “code for PWT” is really dumb & greedy. I don’t want ugly overpriced shirts or to even sign up to that place after the last data breach fiasco. And now I have to regi...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Not disagreeing with anything you said there. My frustration is more with that Honor Club went dark and relaunches basically worse than it did before. And I, for the life of me, can't understand why AEW/ROH wasn't folded into a streaming deal. Would have made more sense to keep Honor Club alive all ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

The nuance to the answer was that he spent the year trying to get ROH a TV deal and no one wanted it. I wish he would have been a bit more transparent about it, but basically, he bought ROH and it's in a worse spot than it was before. Honor Club is basically what it was before, except you can't get ...

Re: IMPACT Wrestling Official Thread

I'll agree with you that "people go there to reinvent themselves, not for their careers to die," but then it doesn't paint a good picture for wrestlers who stay long-term since your next point was that all these wrestlers got offered contracts because of their work in Impact. And I'm not a...
