Re: Somebody here defend this one

Working with Filsinger on a card game is probably a long leap from action figures or a video game (not that I wouldn't love both)...but yeah, add me to the people who are "defending this one". I see no problem with it. Would love to hear your reasons on why we should have to "defend i...

Re: Worst show in history

For me, without question it was Escalation. Hell, the show was so bad they had to add the Joe/Black match from the next night in Chicago to the DVD just to get anyone to buy it. It was my one and only time in Dayton, and I was not happy I had driven that far for that kind of a show. I mean, a KO mat...

Re: Does the briscoes vs wgtt fued end with a ladder war??

I think Cornette thought it would be an awesome old school tag team feud with the two teams battling all over the country for up to a year or more. I don't think anyone in 2012 wants to see that type of wrestling feud, especially when most of their matches have been OK at best. I think this is a GR...

Re: The collaboration with CHIKARA is already over?

The main reason for the "collaboration" was the double shot in Chicago, nothing more, nothing less. It was never meant to be an ongoing thing. Hopefully the door is open to ROH guys appearing in Chikara from time to time, and to Chikara guys appearing in ROH from time to time as well, but ...

Re: Match of the Year Tracking Thread

Agreed on Davey/Elgin, and I agree that the three main events from Extreme Rules deserve at least consideration. I may be in the minority here, but I'd throw an honorable mention vote at least in for Sara Del Rey vs. El Generico from Chikara: Hot off the Griddle in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. It ...

Re: Tom & Jim's "3 Things" from UNITY on 4/28

Hey man, how was the ME between the Briscoes and Team Chikara? Can't wait for the Bravado's return, it looks like they improved a lot in NOAH. BJ Whitmer is still great, his match with Jay Lethal was a good one, hope ROH will sign him. Sorry I missed this post. The ME between the Briscoes and Team ...

Re: Who has ordered Border Wars on IPPV? Who will be there l

I have prior commitments that evening most likely, and am committed all day Sunday. So, hoping it will be up on demand on Monday and I'll just order it then. No point in pre-ordering when I won't get to see it til it's available on demand anyways.

Top 3 are:
Davey/Steen
Elgin/Cole
Strong/Finlay

Re: Yes I'm being a BALL BUSTA, ROH make the anouncement alr

With Evolve having an iPPV on 5/12, I can't see them doing the Border Wars show too, for a few reasons. (A) I don't know that they have enough equipment to do two broadcasts from two locations, and (B) would you put a competing iPPV on your site on the same night you're trying to sell one? I wouldn'...

Re: Any one else notice the new LIVE section at ROH?

Yep, been there the whole time. Also agree though, they gotta get the info out on how to order Border Wars. Part of me wonders if they are going to end up going back to GFL after all for this one. Maybe they wanted to go another way, but haven't been able to get it worked out? But then again, maybe ...

Re: Unity Discussion

The card looks great and all, but all tag matches?! Don't sweat it. A match still needs to be signed for Mike Bennett. 8-) They announced in the newswire that it would be all tags on the Unity show. So, who does Bennett team up with? Ciampa's promo makes it seem like he isn't booked for these shows...

Re: Ciampa's Frustration. (5 minute rant/promo on ROH)

Very interesting promo...wonder where it's going, it was a far different side than we've seen of him before, and frankly, I liked it. He is fairly stagnant in The Embassy (and that seems to be The Embassy's curse for whatever reason). A reboot with him as this type of character could work...maybe ev...

Re: ROH newswire thread

Los Ice Creams...I like!

Briscoes vs. WGTT AGAIN?!?! Really? Come on, I'm kinda really done with that feud.

Davey/Kyle vs. WGTT doesn't do much for me either. Gotta admit, selfishly I was hoping for the Elgin/Davey rematch, but wasn't necessarily expecting it either.
