Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

Cobb losing his undefeated streak in the main event of a PPV, cleanly, in less than 10 minutes, is a late era WCW-esque fuck up. Who cares if he's leaving? You have him until September. He's hot right now. He'll be in the G1. To be fair, I get not putting the title on him if he's really leaving aft...

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

BUT COBB DOING JOBS IN THE G1 WHILE BEING ROH CHAMPION!!! Because you know, THAT is what will devalue the belt/company and not years of garbage booking or a boring midcarder holding the belt right now. The sad part is that you could probably have booked a match or two between Cobb and whoever beats ...

TNA! TNA! TNA! I mean, who could have seen that coming? As far as the crowd goes, i assume that pic is from over 2 hour before the main show starts if thats 9EST....thus the doors just opened. Ian has already said they do really good walk up sales. They already sold 700+ tickets, so they'll probably...

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

Show me one wrestling company who puts a belt on a guy if they know they are leaving the company. Doesn't make any sense. ROH can't rely on wrestlers using ROH as a stepping stone. Except they all do. Out of the 25 world champions in company's history, only four are still there. Now watch the Brisc...

Re: Bully Ray Allegedly Shouts Down a Fan Backstage

I don't think anyone who plays (or recently played) an in-ring or on-screen role should interact with the fans as security or representative of the promotion. How shall a fan know whether it's real or part of the show? That's the thing though : if this guy was being obnoxious and a jerk, he should ...

Who knew an egomaniac asshole like Bully Ray was going to be a terrible backstage personality and horrendous creative mind? If only they were some signs that he was going to be that way, l...

Advocating is a strong word, it's not like I'm all "SIGN THIS GUY OR ROH IS COMPLETELY RETARDED" and I certainly won't lose any sleep if Ellsworth never appears on ROH programming, but there could be a spot for him as a smarmy undercard heel manager. I mean, I'll take him over Nana never-e...

Better performer than about 90% of the current roster, but no shock you have no respect for the EXCELSIOR OF ELOCUTION.

Seriously, throw this guy as a manager for a goofball heel like Ferrara or whoever else who can't talk, that would work just fine.

Long text. DING DING DING But let's go back to this. There is no reason that a change of format means that the quality of the storytelling has to suffer. I have explained numerous times how it would be extremely simple to make the DVD/VOD-only shows into shows that, while not essential viewing, ser...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Castle winning is the right move, but maybe they want Cody to be champ until WM Weekend. BC is hot and he's a draw in USA. Oh for fuck's sake, HE'S NOT A DRAW. HE'S STEVIE RAY IN THE NWO BLACK AND WHITE : THE "LEADER" OF THE B-TEAM. ... The Elite is a draw, not Cody fucking Rhodes and the...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I think so too, but I can see some merit, financially at least, if they can get Aries and PAC and Bryan, in Cody title matches against them. Dalton really SHOULD win at Final Battle, don't get me wrong. I'm just playing the Devil's Advocate here. He's Cody Rhodes, him vs. any of those guys isn't a ...

Re: FloSports Files Lawsuit Against WWN

The $30 price tag most likely didn't help. It was a decent price if you're an avid Evolve fan who's buying every show (and you get shit like Shine and all those lower WWN promotions like FIP and ACW "for free"), not so much if you're cherry-picking based on the card or whatever. Also the H...

You know what? Fuck it, this company deserves to be made fun of so let me quickly show you how ridiculously buggy the ROH website is. So I had a ringside membership at some point in 2013 and let it go after a while because I didn't have the time to follow the product during that period. Nothing out ...

Shhh, Ring of Hospice is perfect, just look at all those young upstarts on top like MCMG (because TNA nostalgia I guess), Kenny King (because he's on some TV show), Bully Ray (because ECW) and two-star Cody Rhodes (because Rhodes). Also this "we kinda don't build contenders, you just "earn...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Evolve will be lucky to continue existing at this point. They're no threat to ROH's relationship with NJPW. ROH just rented a 10,000 seat arena, Evolve just got sued by their own iPPV distributor. Maybe not Evolve, but ROH feels more and more expendable to NJPW as time goes by. They're sending the ...

With the new partner, most people were hopeful that the means to an end financial precarity would be given a rest. At the very least, the first two items above should have been somewhat resolved rather than having an arguably worse year than last. 'Working the boys' in regards to exposure is someth...
