Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
I was thinking similarly about Strong recently. He might put over Mark at the PPV and then someone like Kyle or Dalton at the tapings. If ROH does lose him, it’s a pretty big loss. He’s one of the most reliable workers in recent history. It’s a shame that if he were just a little bit larger his fate...

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
Odd no Motor City Machine Guns in Tag Wars. If Motor City becomes the opponents to The Addiction at BITW, then it’s better to avoid having them in the tournament at all. Unless you mean it’s “odd” in a winking manner that might intimate them becoming the next champions, which seems to me very likel...

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
I think you can definitely consider him to be a credible singles competitor after his match with Cole, but, not now do I find him credible, rather, I think he has the current potential, likely to be pursued and fulfilled, to be a credible singles star once you take into consideration his credible de...

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
I think I already explained my sentiment (and it would be unprepossessing tact for me to quote myself). Your thoughts aren’t base, but Roddy/Jay Briscoe is absolutely the right main event for this show.

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
You really think Briscoe and Roddy are ROH's most widely recognized names? I'll give you Briscoe and Roddy is up there, but don't forget that this roster currently has the Young Bucks, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian , Colt Cabana, and Jay Lethal (and maybe you can throw MCMG onto that list, ...

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
I would be more inclined to agree with you if this card were to have something like Jay Briscoe vs Moose. or Jay Briscoe vs. Dalton Castle, but Jay Briscoe and Roderick Strong are probably the company’s most widely recognized names. It’s a rare match between their most major stars and it would main ...

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
Wait... why is Briscoe vs. Strong main eventing over a No DQs tag title match that has been built up for the past month? Because it’s infinitely more interesting and is a match that will deliver and is one of Jay’s big return-to-singles matches to lead into the main event of the next PPV and War Ma...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
What they should really do is maintain a consistent philosophy whether VOD events are important or not. It's quite fine for them to dedicate themselves either way, but to vacillate on what these shows mean and their utilities is very milk-and-water. It's perplexing to consider that Supercard of Hono...

Very innovative match for Indianapolis: A Six-Man Mayhem Match with Only Two Men! The other four men are existential concepts with which the two human wrestlers must grapple.

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
Having Jay Briscoe in singles matches is very refreshing. Jay Briscoe vs. Moose and Jay Briscoe vs. Roddy should be very watchable matches. ROH should have used him in this capacity much more often than they have the past year. Kickstarting his 2016 singles run during the Road to BITW is just too li...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
Big pass on Cody Rhodes. We don't need another outside talent main eventing in a one-off PPV title defense with a fuck finish.
If he wants to make a splash, he would be an idiot to believe its with today's Ring of Honor.

That is great news regarding Kincaid, yet there are still other pressing matters that must be addressed.

Re: Shouldn't the Bucks be Suspended?
It's a bogus answer to a myopic, desultory angle. There's no tidy way to explain what happened when given the context of prior suspensions and expulsions. (That is unless you ask, "is Nigel actually in cahoots with the Bullet Club? ?? ~?? Is he their secret power broker ???? ?~" Adam Cole'...

But what if you kept Stokely Hathaway to manage, along with Nana and Veda, ultra-babyface Moose? Assuredly that would be a great use of all parties, right?

Re: ROH could afford to lose ...
ROH has devoted so much into building War Machine that I wouldn’t let go of either. (Though, I would argue that Hanson is the more overpushed of the two. I get very worried whenever Hanson wrestles that he’ll diminish the crowd’s enthusiasm for the next hour. He makes Rowe look charismatic. But they...

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
Anyway, my original point was that Roddy probably won't be engaged in very meaningful storylines until his contract status is settled. His booking the past month and his scheduled opponent at BITW strongly suggests this. It's really not even criticism (on creative, at least).

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
But you don’t really have to build anyone for a TV Title opportunity: Bobby Fish challenged for the belt on four consecutive PPVs, Roddy hosted his invitational to non-roster wrestlers, and, according to Kelly, practically everyone on the lower card is looking to be TV champion. I don’t buy this sto...

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread
Maybe. That sounds like a non-angle angle to me. I doubt Fish and Strong will wrestle again on PPV for a quite a while.
