Alex Shelley

I used to be really, really high on Alex Shelley. Like, there was a time I could not get enough of his in-ring work. Over the last 12-18 months in just his ROH stuff (has he wrestled anywhere else?) I got the vibe that he had lost a step or progressed to a different level and style in the ring where...

Re: Soaring Eagle Cup 2017 Official Thread

So have any other matches been announced yet for this card aside from the tournament matches? No, not as of yet. They have given meet and greet details as of 10/23 and no other matches. Remaining announced talent: ROH Tag Champions: MCMG of Shelley & Sabin Jay Briscoe Nick Jackson Hangman Page ...

Re: Global Wars 2017 Thread

Global Wars Chicago was pretty awesome last night. Seeing things that it is the 2nd largest crowd in ROH history. I absolutely loved Ospreay vs. Flip Gordon. Gordon looks like the love child of Teddy Hart and Matt Sydal. He should not be slept on. I feel like he had a cup of coffee in EVOLVE and it ...

Re: Soaring Eagle Cup 2017 Official Thread

For an event that tickets are being sold outside of the regular ROH avenues (Ringside member pre-sale, ROH Website), I looked a few days ago and tickets in the first 4-5 ringside rows seemed to have already sold. With that, you have about 200+ tickets sold in less than a week. The ticket prices are ...

Re: Soaring Eagle Cup 2017 Official Thread

Eh I think it's harmless. Small little tournament, maybe even have a trophy. Might not mean much in the long run, but should be a fine show for what it is. We already have the following in the tournament: - Jay Lethal - Christopher Daniels - Dalton Castle Which leaves 5 spots open. And then of cour...

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread

Add my voice to the praise for this week's EP as well. ROH has done a good job at progressively getting better each week in 2017 and I hope it can continue. I do question why you have Ospreay get pinned in that match. The episode was built around the US TV debuts of both he & Scurll, so in my mi...

Re: "Deforestation"

The bottom line in the article for me is the opinion of the writer is his own and he is entitled to it. I think it is fair to view wrestling with the an analytical and critical eye, if you choose to. And then, if you do choose to and share that opinion, understand that there will be almost always tw...

Re: Steel City Excellence (2/11)

That is really solid!

Makes for a very top heavy main event in terms of star power...but that then too should give some other guys a chance at longer matches and able to spotlight their skills.

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread

The current episode with a main event of Lethal-Liger is really solid. This was quite enjoyable from start to finish. Six-man opener was nice and I am interested in the Rebellion's attempted recruitment of Lio Rush. The Marty Scurll video package ahead of his legit TV debut was fantastic. It was act...

Re: How Long Have You Been An ROH Fan?

Fan since Day 1. Learned of the promotion via the RF Video updates and with a buddy and my Dad, decided to trek to Philly for the first show from Michigan. That was amazing and such a cool experience. Since that time, I have been to over 75 shows around the country and would consider myself a diehar...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

If Shane Taylor and ROH found themselves without Keith Lee as part of the equation, I truly could see a fit with Taylor joining The Rebellion.

Transition Caprice to the managerial role who takes bumps and I think King, Titus and Taylor could be a 6-Man force to be reckoned with!

Re: Can a case be made for a 3rd Jay Briscoe title reign?

I am not in favor of this. I cannot think of any possible matches with Jay as champion again that are interesting to me, at least on paper. You raise of good point about "new stars" and I think you could really create one (or a few) with a title run on an unexpected talent (this is in the ...

Re: Christopher Daniels-ROH World Champion. Why not?

Except no one gives a shit about Kazarian and Cody Rhodes. Perhaps Kazarian, but I guarantee you are wrong about Cody or there would not be so many different groups still bringing him in. I mean, PWG, the hardest of hardcore fan promotions is having him back. That is more mind blowing than anything...

Re: Christopher Daniels-ROH World Champion. Why not?

If he wins it, he's either dropping it to Fish or Cody. I was really intrigued by this thread because the general idea of Christopher Daniels as ROH World Champion has a strong connection to the history and long-term story of the promotion. Whether it happens or not, who knows. I do agree with the ...

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread

I was really underwhelmed by this week's episode. When Silas attacking Bull James and the Bucks superkicking Vangard 1 are to two most noteworthy items, it makes you wonder... By the way, if Dalton Castle beat Cabana at Final Battle, why were The Boys harassing him during his match? Kinda dishonorab...

On another note, even without re-signing, does anyone believe they continue to use Kyle is a freelanc...

Re: Official Saturday Night at Center Stage Thread

The tag team main event is really interesting to me now, based on the outcome from Wrestle Kingdom 11.

I think it will also tell a lot of what the future in ROH is for K'OR.

I think the Bobby Fish-Colt Cabana and Marty Scurll-Juice Robinson are going to be really newsworthy as well.

This podcast is must listen for me, each and every week.

Love the stories and insight shared.

The Cody Rhodes episode was incredibly strong and I highly recommend.
