Really smart promo from Shelley. Hope he gets used more wisely this run.

To be honest, I think Taven is now bound to cross whatever threshold a transitional champion is. Also now that we're years separated from it, what kind of reign do we call O'Reilly's? I think winning the title and dropping it to the same dude precludes it from being a transitional run. Was it just A...

OK, I'm about to shift into Taven Defense mode, but before that let me paradoxically shoot down MJF being some prodigal talent. He'll probably be used to great effect in AEW (because it looks like Cody loves him because they're the same), but seeing promos cut for the sake of heat alone in the vein ...

Wow, that's an awesome report, thanks kovs. Any clear memory of who got the biggest pop of the night?

And at least they didn't go completely no-sell Flip's conscription into Villain Enterprises. I do wonder if he'll be healed in time for when Marty leaves and all that.

Anyone know if Flip appeared at all during the tapings? I guess he's really injured. The wrong guy won in that four-way between Gresham, Castle, King, and Cobb. Nothing here looks bad, but I would think now is the time to start pulling strings with urgency. All of the NWA in ROH, WOH, and Silas/Boun...

I definitely think Cobb winning in a ten minute match when the next immediate route is go to Rush would've been a mistake. Taven is one of the best overall performers in the company and he's been the best year of his career so far. Him being the one to hand off the title to Rush prepares the latter ...

Nice to see the pride flag pin noticeably absent on Caprice when standing next to Ian and Colt.

Woof! I was alluding to them maybe papering off that section so it wouldn't come off bad on TV. Looks like heavily discounted tickets are being offered now. Well... heavily discounted makes you more money than free, right? It's just really strange that we're already in "cheaper than a movie ti...

Marty also just posted the new six-man titles:

not good so far... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D9Cu2pgWwAEvdtO.jpg Some progress made near ringside, especially near the box opposite the ramp (maybe conveniently so), but large parts seem nearly the same as of two weeks ago. Hundreds of tickets still available. https://i.postimg.cc/XvLmZHcH/image....

Colt Cabana is injured, Replacement to be revealed on pre-show at 8:30pm Friday Night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZx-PLehUeE&feature=youtu.be For what I thought would be a very simple update, that reel focusing on Cabana's career and his sidelining injury was really effective. Of course t...

I like Juice, but i think he's missing a good opportunity. Look at a majority of the NJPW in ROH over the past few years, Jay White, Ropongi 3K/ Tempura Boys, Evil, Takahashi, all return to NJPW with great success. It's not like he's Okada or Niato, and not like he was a major star in the US prior ...

Two great back to back posts on Pure Rules matches from maxx_powerz and alexsmellzzz. The Pure Title was something that was unpopular among enough people during most of the belt's activity. Working the rules into a program like this is fine and could even be used for tournaments like Survival of the...

They are using the pure rules! Which is fantastic to see it back I really hope it stays and it really develops to having the title back as it would seperate ROHfrom every other company and alow for much different wrestlers to come in. One question didn't it used to be two rope breaks per person rat...

Good match, another defense for VE. I wish they have a proper feud, because yes, PCO and King are feuding with Briscoes, but they are just 2 and not 3. I hope ROH really books Scurll strong this summer, when he's gone in autum, he is really gonna be missed. The six-man title matches (especially whe...

Enzo and Cass really killed ROH momentum. Gotta be top 3 dumbests creative decisions ever. No one will really ever know what the cost of that decision may have been, though the G1 Supercard show seems now more than ever a culmination of a run for ROH. The audience that is emerging alongside AEW is ...

I never say anything this far out, but looking at how dire two of the biggest shows of the summer are looking, I think they should take a hard alee from their current direction and pitch out to New Japan to borrow a less-used star to be champion: Suzuki, Zack, Juice, EVIL, Taichi. That or form their...

I think the Manhattan Mayhem will eventually trickle in as they announce the card, because it's still New York. But wow, I had no idea that the PPV show in Baltimore was hurting this bad. It's sensationally underwhelming, like, there are barely descriptors that capture how dangerous things for ROH l...

Besides Lethal, who’d be an obvious dream opponent for him?

Just like naming opponents for Shibata in 2016 other than O'Reilly or Fish, my answer is ehhhhhh. Maybe Rush and Dalton?

Writing strongly worded correspondences to CMLL for them to book a "Main Event" Matt Taven vs "I am Inevitable" Austin Theory dream match in the vaunted halls of Arena Mexico.
