Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread
On a side note. Unless it's KUSHIDA or The Young Bucks, my son has no interest in wrestling. He has now has added the finger snapping of Marty Scrull as must see viewing. It's so funny what resonates with kids. My son is 11 and is a reasonably well-versed fan. He's been following ROH since he was 8...

Re: First Grand Slam Champion?
To me, Lethal has a unique opportunity that the others don't because he held the Pure title. I don't think they could justify pairing him up anytime soon given the level star he is, but it'd be cool to see him win the tag titles and 6-man before he hangs them up.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
ROH got mad at Ciampa for moving from the Northeast. Unfortunately they're all marks, brother. Bigger marks than anyone on this board. I won't dispute some of what you're saying, but he's making more than the average exclusive ROH deal. Also, I'm not sure how his "Long-term ceiling" is lo...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
If you think you've arrived at TNA Mecca to rid us of delusion, you came to the wrong place. Most of us are realists and probably have more issues with today's ROH than the average fan. So the "hard to swallow" thing doesn't really apply. The reality is that almost all full time wrestling ...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
I'm not saying it's a sure thing Kyle is staying if he hasn't signed yet...but to keep perspective many people thought Elgin was winning the title at WK10 last year in the Dome because Lethal hadn't resigned yet following Final Battle. Now the big rumor is that Cole is winning it back in the Dome. Y...

Re: Official Final Battle 2016 Thread
I thought it was a great show. Some random thoughts: - The TV title match and The Bucks/Briscoes hit levels that most ROH PPV matches don't get to. That's critical for their PPVs to be viewed as must-see shows. - I thought the right talent won in almost every case (opener not withstanding, maybe...b...

****1/2
Amazing considering this was (as confirmed later in Cole interviews) the 1st night Cole even stepped into a ring since December 2014 and his injury, so he hadn't even had a chance to train in a ring to prepare.

Re: ROH/Hammerstein Question
The earlier posts about costs and them wanting to force ROH to use Manhattan Center Studios production are correct. This hasn't been made clear, but if you recall, TNA booked a the Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom (same building/company) for June 2014 tapings (a month after ROH's last date at Hammers...

Re: hypothetical ROH net worth
Valuation of wrestling companies is interesting. A typical business would be valued at a multiplier of profit: EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, and Depreciation). On that basis, ROH would be worth very little as I'm sure that without any lucrative TV deals the promotion probably just barely ...

Re: Official Final Battle 2016 Thread
Another thing to consider is that it's been reported that Cody is working ROH through at least May. I'm not a big fan of his, but bringing in a name talent and having them lose to another incoming talent on night one actually doesn't make much sense at all. Is he supposed to lose every match for 5 m...

Re: Official Final Battle 2016 Thread
Rhodes vs Lethal should intrigue people if for no other reason to see how the crowd reacts. Debuting on a stacked card in front of a crowd that has historically shit on things they don't like is a bit of a risk for him.

Re: Reach for the Sky Tour Results
I don't think it's a stretch at all to think that Cole retains. The determining factor will be whether or not O'Reilly signs before the match. If not, he's almost surely leaving and will lose. Cole isn't free until April, which begs the question of what he'll do until then if he does lose. I think t...

Re: Reach for the Sky Tour Results
I think this is actually the smartest booking of new talent they've done in some time. It made the tour noteworthy and established both guys immediately as top guys in the promotion. Ospreay got the rub of beating the long-time TV champ (and ROH guy) and lost a hard fought match on the third night o...

Re: Stuff that annoys you
To me, the "Sinclair won't invest in ROH" narrative is dead. Since the middle of 2015 or so, they upped their game significantly on production, after making gradual small upgrades prior. The lighting rig, entrance screens, and video packages make the show look as good as it needs to look. ...

Re: Official All Star Extravaganza 8 TV Tapings Thread
The booking is finally clicking for me again. I like Page as a TV title contender & think he should probably win. I also like what they're doing with Cole's reign. My favorite time of Delirious' booking was during Cole's last reign when Hero, Briscoe, Steen and Elgin were all simultaneously gunn...

Re: Official Reloaded Tour 2016 Thread
It was a really good show. The Main Event was incredible and way over-delivered on my expectations. I agree with much of what DB already reported. The crowd was fatigued and that hurt the Daniels/White match, which was very grapple-heavy, but I enjoyed. The crowd liked the 4-way Tag better than I di...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
I look at NJPW signing reDRagon as an immensely positive prospect, particularly since it sounds like it'd be more like joint deals that would have them working schedules like the Bucks do now as opposed to Elgin. My guess is they'd work out a deal on O'Reilly's title run and everyone wins. It's cert...
