Re: Something I Miss About the Sapolsky Era Fans

Just my opinion, but EVOLVE is equally far from being a version of what ROH was as SBG's product is...just in different ways. I think people continually give Gabe a free pass because he had a few great years more than a decade ago. He's a terrible promoter and his booking has been hit or miss at bes...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

Hugely disappointed about Fish. I think he & O'Reilly were the key free agents (aside from the Bucks). Major miscalculation not to make a stronger effort to keep them (by all accounts, anyway). I've never been a "it's only....no big loss" guy, but to me if they had retained Fish & ...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

Attendance has dropped from its peak (a long sellout streak in early 2015 that was mostly due to timing & circumstances like Del Rio's appearance and Samoa Joe's return), but it's not down across the board. Final Battle sold out quicker than War of the Worlds 2014, the Atlanta TV taping sold out...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

I genuinely respect you as a source of info on ROH, rovert, but I will never get your obsession with "credit," which is literally meaningless. Also, if being credited is so important to you, you'd be shocked at how far using an actual first and last name (even if they're fake) as opposed t...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

Koff is a tool, but people thinking that SBG should replace him should realize that ROH likely only exists within SBG because of Koff. In fact, I think his employment there is the single biggest mortality risk ROH faces. He sold the company on investing in ROH to begin with and is seemingly the only...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

Seeing all over Twitter that Kevin Kelly is gone from ROH as of yesterday. Wow.

No details about the circumstances, but credit to TJ Hawke of 411 (the crazy guy who yells at ROH on Twitter) for breaking the story.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

I'm not saying you're right or wrong, I was just stating how I'm reading the situations. Time will tell. Cole was set to join NXT this time last year. But he badly injured himself so he re-signed with ROH as ROH were offering to pay him during his recovery. NXT wanted to put the NXT title instantly...

Dijak is an impressive athlete, but not nearly the wrestler that many have been pretending he is for the past year or so. Losing Keith Lee is way bigger a loss.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

I'm not worried about the talent. That is cyclical. It does concern me if ROH is just plodding ahead on traditional PPV, though. I had no issues paying a premium for broadcast PPV when the WWE Network was the competitor...but if they add those promotions and FloSlam keeps it up...and NJPW World...RO...

Re: This is what ROH should do...

Agreed. I don't know how they get the TV title off of him gracefully and transition to the World Title as quickly as possible, but Scurll coming off the BOLA win and his PROGRESS title run is ready. He's fresh to the scene and has the all around character to carry the company. Give him the ball and ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

The Bobby Fish World Title push is a little frustrating. He was just announced for a match with Cole at Manhattan Mayhem and it occurred to me that he's effectively being put in the same position he was two years prior against Briscoe. Fish does a great job building big matches with his self-shot pr...

Re: Kyle O'Reilly not signed

Scurll over Ospreay as champion is an easy call. Not to mention, he's 10 times more committed to ROH than Will. Marty left Evolve and chose to come to ROH for the TV platform. He does have a six month out clause, but assuming he's getting a big push and has the freedom creatively he wants, there's n...

So, as expected Daniels beat Jay Briscoe to win the tourney and challenge Cole for the title in Vegas.

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

With the announced Toronto & Philly dates being Sunday nights, it wouldn't shock me if their plan is to see if those dates sell out and then add a Saturday night show. They've done that at times in the past and it's worked as it gives the less attractive date the best shot at selling well.

Re: Supercard of Honor XI - Lakeland/Orlando, FL

Given that there's still so much storyline to go before that show...the Main Event announcement will be interesting. The obvious thought would be the Bucks/Hardys, but is that big enough to guarantee the biggest crowd in ROH History? My wild guess is it's Okada vs Tanahashi for the first time ever i...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

I really don't understand why they haven't brought David Starr back. It was bewildering to me that rather than putting him in the TPT last year he was in that multi man Future of Honor qualifier, and was the clear standout. Missing the boat on him for sure.

Observer also reported that Fish's contract is a short term extension, so his situation is still up in the air. Very disappointing if they lose him.

Re: The General ROH Complaints Thread

My take on the O'Reilly website thing is that it indicates there is some kind of issue with Kyle (maybe related to his apparent perception that ROH has somehow interfered with his WWE hiring) that led him to request/demand their advertising of him for Atlanta be taken down...and possibly that they n...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

No offense to Taylor, but I'm not sure I have much interest in him without Lee.

I hate to say it, but Lee might be making the right call for himself career-wise if Gabe promised him a big singles push.

Re: Kyle O'Reilly not signed

If you saw @TJHawke411's timeline yesterday (he was the guy who had the meltdown at ROH a week or so ago), he implied that Delirious & ROH have done something that has put a halt to the process of the WWE hiring guys. He said right now it appears that Kyle is the primary "victim" in th...
