If I remember correctly, the idea with the non-title matches was that it was the Prophecy's way of trying to screw ROH by not having the title defended on their big shows. It also didn't happen particularly often, and right after it did happen the first time, the fact that it happened was used as a...

Oh you'll love when I catch up to 2009 again. That sounds very premonitory. It’s admittedly been a while since I have seen these matches, though I can recall Lynn getting gassed frequently and, as a result, often had to be carried. Wrestlers in their mid-40s just shouldn’t be let to hold the World ...

Get a hold of yourself.

I almost always enjoy his promos, and he's good as both a dick heel and a fiery babyface. Therefore I'd call him "good" opn the mic.

But, I can also see Lethal beating Styles. I don't think New Japan would have a problem with Styles losing to ROH's top guy especially when if Styles beats Nakamura, he'll look strong anyway and they have already planted the seeds for Lethal/Nakamura after Field of Honor. I think some of you look w...

I don't quite get all of the hate on Rhett. He's passable in the ring and good on the mic. He's perfectly fine being one half of a tag team. That being said, I think that the best thing to do with ANX is to build them up for a tag title shot, have them lose clean (with Rhett taking the fall), spend ...

I just completely reject the idea that Cheeseburger is somebody I should still be watching at all. I mean, the first time he was featured, in the Charlie Haas promo, I thought it was great. The second time Haas beat him up, it was still kind of a mild chuckle. It was also kinda funny when Maria sho...

Jerry Lynn's reign was even worse for business, plus it set the company back for years since it stalled Tyler Black's momentum. Lynn's wouldn't have looked so terrible in hindsight if they had put the belt on Tyler at Manhattan Mayhem III instead of Aries. Don't get me wrong, Aries had a great run,...

Question: Is burying your'unworthy' mid-card champ in the middle of your card with as many non title defenses as you can, a great way to make your belt, which you built up to be a big thing, a way of making it bigger, or does it reduce it to a meaningless shiny thing bauble while other names headli...

With Elgin instead of the lion.

This made my day.

I don't think ROH is hemorrhaging money the way TNA and Lucha Underground are, so they're definitely ahead in that respect if not in visibility. And ROH is much better than TNA at cultivating an audience that is actually will to pay to come to shows, order PPVs, and buy merch. When you put it that ...

Pretty awesome show last night, IMO, although I seem to be in the minority regarding both the Reid Flair stuff and Charlotte's mic skills in general.

The Cheeseburger/Bob feud has provided two damn entertaining matches this year. That's just two entertaining matches in a feud that has been going on since early March, and has barely moved forward. Is that really much to bother about? This feud has had like three things - the Bob heel turn, match ...

I forget the source, but I definitely remember reading an interview with either Daniels or Sapolsky - probably Sapolsky - where it was mentioned that Sapolsky's idea was for Daniels to be the second champion, but Daniels instead wanted Xavier to do it, partly because he felt that he (Daniels) would...

Based on his physique, I don't think BCB has ever done anything dashingly in his life.

Didn't Moose turn heel at the last tapings? Probably more just being typical Moose. I honestly question whether he's heel or babyface half the time. I sometimes wonder if he has any clue either. I'm 99% sure he's a babyface at the moment, but the fact that they've turned him so much doesn't help.

He's light years ahead of J. Deisel, and I refuse to use J's new name since it won't make him one iota more over. Does anyone like Deisel in any way, shape or form? Generally I'm upbeat, but I can't fine anything redeeming about him in any way. I would rank Bob Evans and TD Thomas above him in ever...

Almost **** but not quite

According to Wikipedia, he debuted in 2006, which would mean he's been wrestling longer than ACH, Adam Page, Adam Cole, Cedric Alexander, Dalton Castle, Biff Busick, and Rusev, and he is nowhere near the league as any of those guys. But whether the above debut date is true or not, I don't think that...
