Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

So he/she's dumb as rocks and/or a time traveller from 2012/13 who just couldn't wait to post his/her now absolutely irrelevant opinions on pro wrestling.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

I don't know, he's not a bot and yet is posting obvious bot bullshit here and there + random tidbits that are years old (like he was looking forward to WWE signing Callihan and Samurai del Sol which was... 2012 I think).

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

I still think Sinclair's original purpose for buying ROH remains a compelling reason why it'll stick around: cheap programming. Sinclair buys more and more networks every year, and the only programming they actually produce in-house is ROH and a news show. Is it really? ROH mostly airs after midnig...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I have to imagine low ticket sales has to be reason. The meet and greet is odd, but maybe some of the travel was already paid/non-refundable. Plus build up some good will in Texas. Hopefully this is a wake up call for management. I guess, but you might as well just take the L and move on. If they r...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Trying to imagine how many people will show up for an ROH Meet and Greet with no wrestling show in 2019. Like the maximum number of people has to be in the single digits right? Perversely I kind of want live footage. Yeah, that makes no sense to me. If they really cancelled those shows because of p...

Re: ROH UK Tour

Maybe they are banking on ROH to the Fox Sports regional channels will bring them back.... Honestly i don't even know if that will be enough without a complete overhaul in management/booking/marketing. It's just more channels that will air ROH in the middle of the night, it might as well be pointle...

Re: NJPW vs. ROH domestic live event business

NWA isn't fighting for market share. They're putting on a nostalgia Youtube series in front of 100 people. I'm sure it'll become true if you repeat it a dozen more times. Also don't know how much of a downgrade that is from "putting a shitty recap show in the middle of the night in front of a ...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

Except it's been pretty clear that this growth had little to do with ROH proper, but was mostly because of NJPW/BC/Elite, which is why everything has been crumbling down since the Elite left to create AEW/New Japan is backing down of this partnership.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I'm sure New Japan would love to have their show air in the middle of the night on nine billion local channels instead of 9pm on a relatively big national channel.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

It's not based on that though is it, we know the play already has changed and who the charachters are no one is going into this blind or surprised. I guess goodwill and brand reputation don't exist in your bubble. If a show coming to town is consistantly good for years, you're mostly likely buying ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Imagine really disliking all the actors in a film or the film generally, then buying a ticket to see it again. Hoping it’s going to have a different set of actors or somehow be a better film when it hasn’t advertised it’s going to be. Amazing really. This place is honestly hilarious at times and ce...

That's clearly the issue if there's 500 people there, nothing else at all.

As for why, I wouldn't be surprised if their current setup was too big for smaller places.

Ross is pretty awful nowadays. Just use him for those sitdown interviews and coach the newer guys. I'm not sure if I said it here or somewhere else, but Marvez is this weird hybrid between a PR guy and a hype man, except the hype part is passionless/wooden (and thus impossible to take seriously) whi...

Re: Death Before Dishonor 2019 Thread (9/27 Las Vegas)

Their own talent is mostly bland/uninteresting/shit, that's the bottom line. Remember how ROH was this promotion where young, talented guys could hone their craft without the limitations of WWE? Nowadays, ROH is mostly populated by 30yo+ wash-outs/never-were who can't draw for shit. Basically, they ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

ROH's TV penetration prior to this deal was enough to essentially launch NJPW on AXS and also AEW. So more penetration can't be a bad thing even if the timeslots aren't ideal. NJPW/Elite sure did penetrate ROH alright. Hard to get a primetime slot when your show is available for free, legally, to e...
