Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

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. Yikes. I was under the assumption he was in his 3rd or 4th year or...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Everyone with his level of experience needs to get better in the ring, but it's not that big of a deal right now because he's shown to be carryable. He just doesn't have any character besides "rookie underdog", which was basically Adam Page's problem a couple years ago.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

He also needs a theme that isn't the most random collection of a hip hop beat, a siren, generic rapping and someone yelling "GO! GO! GO!"

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I'm not contributing anything that hasn't been said a million times already here, but I'm fine with leg slapping when it's done right. If the strike hits its mark and the slap isn't overused and is on time, then great. The problem is that the slap hasn't been around (outside of the Superkick) for th...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Apart from End of Heartache (is that what that Suplex/Backbreaker thing is called?), the Sick Kick is probably the only Roddy signature with a success rate that vaguely resembles a finisher. That just reminded me of the frustration of the days when Roddy would just finish matches with random combina...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Nah, I've found him pretty annoying since it became apparent they were keeping him around after C&C split.

And the one-inch heart punch is a terrible spot that should've only ever been sold by guys like Delirious and Mark Briscoe, not Ciampa and Lethal.

Re: Women's wrestling in ROH

The other way of doing it would be to not hype it up, just do it. If it's expected that one day the dojo-trained women will improve and become great, let that happen organically and put the spotlight on them when fans start realising it. Right now, they're like "This is the place to be for the ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I don't dislike him, he just has an almost-feminine sounding voice. Although, it doesn't help things that between being Ramon and turning heel with Moose then flip-flopping with Moose then babyface with Moose, it's hard to understand Stokely's character. Like, you look at Larry Sweeney and you say &...

When I pretend Stokely Hathaway's voice belongs to a middle-aged black woman, I find it a lot more fun.

Or to give a better example of Whitmer:

Crowd: "WE SMELL PUSSY!"
Whitmer: "That's because we just came from Momma Briscoe's house!"

Is it really that weird? Or is it that the fans respond better to genuine heel work than trolling?

Re: The deal is done, The Young Bucks have signed with ROH.

I hope this simply means they can just get the Bucks whenever they want them, rather than them being booked for every single show. To me, the Bucks lose their appeal when they're regulars.

Re: Corino finally knocking out BJ was pretty cool

The last thing I ever want to see is a Corino/Whitmer Match in 2015, no thank you! The only reason I want to see it is because this entire overlong, stretched, barely-a-storyline has taken so much of our time that for them not to do the match would render everything pointless. Not because I actuall...

Re: Official Survival of the Fittest 2015 Thread

If anything, I think it's pretty predictable for Cole to keep screwing over O'Reilly. If Cole is jealous because of O'Reilly's success, shouldn't O'Reilly be able to outsmart Cole and be wary of him now that he knows Cole's out to get him? And if Cole can't stop the O'Reilly train, that just feeds h...
