Re: Final Battle - End of an Era Thread

Thanks BRM. I’ve always been a keen follower of your reviews! Your savage, detailed dissections of some of Kevin Kelly’s absurd commentary remains some of my favourite online coverage of ROH ever! I still think this April 22 date is little more than a smokescreen to drive up the price of the tape l...

Re: Final Battle - End of an Era Thread

When was this 2 month break in 2011? There was a gap between No Escape and Death Before Dishonor and then another gap to Gateway To Honor that year, but the Sinclair show had already started during both gaps so it's not really a hiatus when new stuff was coming out. There was also a weekend of TV t...

Re: War Of The Worlds UK SuperThread

The London show is back up on the site and, while the video quality still sucks, it's watchable. No freezes or anything. So, baby steps in the right direction. I'm actually encouraged that they pulled the show down immediately when their business hours started after I sent the email, then got it fi...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I've actually enjoyed most, if not all, of the no crowd shows for a variety of reasons, most due to the great presentation and the difference in style. But I also understand that I am in the vast, vast, VAST minority and that it is NOT a formula for a successful or profitable company. Yeah totally....

BRM's Honor For All 2021 Review

Re: ROH ON HIATUS AFTER FINAL BATTLE 2021, CONTRACTS NOT BEING RENEWED

The fact that TNA will outlive ROH is perhaps the greatest evidence that life isn't fair. TNA/Impact outlived WCW and ECW too Yeah, but those companies were also terrible mismanaged (and especially financially). ROH did so much right for most of its existence while TNA was doing so much wrong for m...

Re: The Early Years Of Ring Of Honor

That's what DVDs are for. I just get a special happy feeling pulling out a good show from the pre-Sinclair TV era. The shows just feel so fun, while also having some real emotion to them.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I hope that Brian wins and PJ is sent packing. He is a good hand, but he literally adds nothing to the show. I thought he had a really good dynamic going with Johnson when they were first put together where he was the veteran who saw the potential in Johnson and was trying to teach him to be less a...

ROH Death Before Dishonor 2021 (9/12/2021)- Baltimore, MD I heard all that was on Hour One was an Honor Rumble, so I skipped it. I have better things to do with my time than watch a battle royale containing mostly jobbers. If you want me to watch that sh*t you’ll have to do what AEW does and put it ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

On the booker front, I do think Delirious has gotten a little better post-COVID (or after they returned). There's still questionable stuff, but everything seems like it's much more coherent and tigher than before in terms of booking. It's not ground breaking or out of this world like prime ROH, but...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Or maybe he's been paying attention to how AEW has made TNA look, or how the ROH-NJPW relationship ceased to mean anything once it became clear that New Japan would never let their top guys do a job, so we would up with a bunch of meaningless tag matches booked around who wouldn't have to lose rath...

If the rumors are true about Braun and Murphy signing with impact then I could see roh getting people like tucker tony nese even the Iconics Nese is good, but I have no interest in the others. The IIconics were never good, and Tucker needs to prove himself on the indies first. Maybe he's great, but...
