Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
Since so many are leaving, or might be leaving soon, it is clearly time to freshen up the ROH locker room. If I'm ROH, I make a play at some of the talent on Evolve shows that are most likely never going to realize their WWE dream. Guys like Ethan Page. Fred Yehi. Peter Kaasa. A.R. Fox (once LU cont...

Re: New commentary speculation thread
I don't hate Kelly like most here, but I do think now is the time for ROH to turn to a new direction on announcing. Look, ROH is obviously in a transitioning phase in 2017. A lot of talent leaving, Kelly quiting his office job. Nigel & Corino leaving the announce team Now is a chance to really s...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Thought of it today while watching New Japan. Adam Cole's first reign was ended by Michael Elgin, who went on to have a disappointing and very short title run. Adam Cole's second reign was ended by Kyle O'Reilly, who went on to have a disappointing and very short title run. Now more than ever, I bel...

Re: Which NJPW star would you want as ROH World Champion?
Katsuyori Shibata. He doesn't need to talk. He just needs to walk to the ring, beat the ever living piss out of people, PK their face off, and head to the back. Have him win it and go on an absolute tear. Have him go undefeated for his entire reign. No Tag Losses, no Rollups, nothing. Then you have...

Re: The NJPW Thread
Decided to just jump in and get New Japan World. Watched the first half of New Beginning today. So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing. Plus, with the exchange rate as is, I'm paying less than 9 bucks for this first month. That's cheaper than an ROH VOD.

Re: DGUSA/EVOLVE Thread
Since I was very critical, allow me to say that the two shows this weekend were better than anything in 2016 Evolve, and the best since summer 2015 to me.
Excellent shows up and down, and I like the current direction of Evolve. I'll keep watching if it keeps being this good.

Re: DGUSA/EVOLVE Thread
Get a ring that doesn't break, retards....lol. They need to get that title off of Thatcher. It's just not working out. It seems like he gets shit on literally every damn show now. I think it's time because he's held it so long, but I am probably the only one left enjoying his reign. I just love Tha...

Re: DGUSA/EVOLVE Thread
Chuck Taylor's shoot name is Dustin Howard . That why he calls himself Dustin . The name Chuck Taylor came from the shoes. That as may be, but it has never once been explained during an Evolve show. Based solely on the shows, he just decided to be called Dustin. No last name. No storyline explanati...

Re: DGUSA/EVOLVE Thread
Anybody here get Evolve tickets through Ticketfly? I'm seeing some very bad reviews online about being the site, and just wondered if anybody here has had a good or bad experience.
Is that the only way to get Evolve tickets?
Thank you.

Re: DGUSA/EVOLVE Thread
I honestly don't get some of this dislike towards Evolve. For my money, they've been the most consistent promotion in the U.S. since the end of 2014. Every Evolve show since that point has been, at the very least, good (in my opinion). They do have bad shows (like Evolve 67 & Evolve 70 ), but t...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
ROHfan2002 you make good points and raise obvious concerns about NXT. But a lot of people are simply cheesed off with the standard of communication in ROH, the booking that does enhance anyone and Sinclair upper management refusing to make any changes. I understand these things. But if I'm a Kyle o...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
Roddy got sidetracked a bit when Aries got hurt, right now he's establishing a face character and stated he wanted to go after the NXT title at the last show. He may be in limbo a bit but he's clearly being positioned for better things. And Dijak could easily transition to Raw or SDL. Cole is a may...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
I know the WWE is the "ultimate goal" for most who get into pro wrestling. I also understand that the rise of NXT has really changed the landscape of WWE for independent style wrestlers. But most of the talent rumored to be leaving ROH for NXT does baffle me somewhat. From what little we k...

Re: The NJPW Thread
Is NJPW World worth getting? I've never really watched New Japan but have an interest in trying it out. Would love any thoughts anybody could give.
Hopefully somebody who knows New Japan and has the service will respond. I'd appreciate that.

Re: The General ROH Complaints Thread
Website is bad, but wasn't there a mention of Kevin Kelly doing something new with the website and an ROH app when he took over his new responsibilities? Maybe they are putting all internet effort towards the new site and just maintaining this one for now.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
I never got the O'Reilly singles love. He is fine technically, and can have a great match with the right opponent. But his interview skills are horrible at best and his selling sometimes is a joke. Can't remember the match, but he got hit once and did the wobbly leg thing for like thirty seconds. It...

Re: How Long Have You Been An ROH Fan?
Started up with ROH right in the beginning in 2002. Got the first videotape through RF Video. At the time had quit wrestling after WCW and ECW closed. ROH got me back in. Was a fan through October 2007, owning every single show they did. Stopped until late September 2011 when SBG era of ROH TV start...

Re: Who will join Kevin Kelly on comentary?
I like Riccaboni a lot. I also like Whitmer as a color guy, if he quits this whole devil bullshit, I'd put him in the Corino spot. Have him finally give respect to Steve and that passes the torch. IF not either of those, I don't know. Alex Shelley has done well on the VOD's at times, but if he's sti...

Re: The NXT Thread
Joe and Nakamura should be going up before WrestleMania, as should Asuka. Bobby Roode is obviously ready, but don't think that is the plan for him. I see him getting the NXT title at Takeover. Revival could probably be good, especially on Smackdown. Hero should be up there. I also really Almas. Thin...

Re: DGUSA/EVOLVE Thread
Anybody else underwhelmed by Evolve? I purchased the iPPV events up through August, and not a single one was better than just good. Gave up on it, but decided to give Floslam a chance since it was so much cheaper. Watched the rest of 2016 and still meh. Some good matches, some great matches, but the...
