Re: The PWG Thread

Ospreay is on an absolute tear this year, I can't imagine him having anything other than a blow-away BOLA. Marty, eh, should be solid but I'm not expecting anything too special.

Re: Official Best In The World 2015 Thread

I fully expect that Martini, Dijak and Diesel (if there) will get involved, but I hope it's mid way through the match and Mark comes out to get rid of them, but then we get a relatively clean finish. Have Lethal do some soft cheating right before the finish maybe, like grabbing the ref to pull himse...

Re: Growing concerns about NXT?

If I'm not mistaken, they've signed three WWNLive guys, and three ROH guys since the KOW left Well Generico could be argued as either (long time ROH, then took hiatus and worked a lot of WWN, then came back to ROH for one match right before signing). Steen is definitely ROH. I guess you could count...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Rhino was very solid in his ROH run, consistently putting on good to great matches in an upper-midcard spot ,and generally playing his role well. He even had a good main event with Steen, although perhaps he shouldn't have been main eventing an iPPV at that point in his career.

Freaking great video. That video should be all over the wrestling internet this week, and if it's not at the end of this week's TV episode for DA on Wednesday something has gone wrong.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

He's presented as some dumb lug who just does whatever his managers tell him and loves shouting his weird ring name. But his two managers seem to be very ill defined in their characters and motivations. And I doubt they're even aiming for the first part.

There's been rumours of a full english translation for the site, but has their really been rumours of English commentary? News to me.

Re: The NJPW Thread

I would love to see more New Japan broadcast with English commentary, Kelly and Corino would be decent although I'd rather have the guys who do the NJPW AXS show. I'm personally holding off on an NJPWWorld purchase unless the long rumored English commentary team actually comes to pass. I'm not sure...

Re: Breaking News: ROH on Destination America

Gallows and Anderson suck as a team. They don't have good chemistry, and Gallows is just flat out bad at working the New Japan style and is an even worse fit for ROH. Anderson is seriously dragged down by him. Gallows is good when he's in the right niche, but workrate ROH/NJPW isn't it. Anderson, fo...

Re: Storyteller

Yeah, I think they've done a really good job with the Lethal-Briscoe feud. It was foreshadowed (in that they were interacting and laying seeds while still feuding with others), it makes sense, they've had a nice slow build but has avoided ever just stopping in one place and repeating (see Elgin-Stro...

Re: Confirm or Deny Roderick Strong really is Mr.ROH

Is Roddy Mr. ROH? He's been the standout performer for me this year. If you look at his overall resume it definitely stack up near the top of the list (although guys like Danielson would be ahead of him) and tenure wise he may well be the guy who has been apart of the company longest. But has he bee...

Re: Breaking News: ROH on Destination America

Nothing wrong with being 50+, but it's just not usually what TV networks want to be drawing in. The favoured group generally seems to be 18-34. And while not all 50+ year olds need prostate pills and back braces, I'm fairly confident that more people will be using them that are over the half decade ...

Re: Bizarre Kevin Kelly Commentary

Yeah, Kelley is probably my least favourite thing about ROH at the moment. His call lacks any passion or emotion, he doesn't get across or even seem to properly understand half the storylines and he doesn't even call any of the moves. As a play-by-play guy, he's useless. Maybe he's really good on th...

Re: Growing concerns about NXT?

While ROH may benefit from WWE not wanting their talent in the short run (no more raids for current batch of talent) it could really hurt them in the long-run as all of a sudden it has become a far less attractive place to work (if this turns out to be the case). Completely agree with Burnside on th...
