Re: Official 14th Anniversary Show (PPV) Thread

Zero research went into my post. Not even a wikipedia search, can we say greatest wrestler of the 80s than?

Re: Official 14th Anniversary Show (PPV) Thread

I think that was true two years ago, but at this point, there needs to be something more than "come see who is going to job to Okada this year!". And I'm firmly on the side of, it doesn't need to be Okada eating pins, it can be done with interesting storylines (oh, we're on that ol' topic...

Re: Official 14th Anniversary Show (PPV) Thread

Even more reason to protect the NJPW guys if they are going to draw for you when they are on your shows, i mean of all the ROH fanbase, how many people complain when they announce a big match because the ROH guy is losing and how many say holy shit what a match! i have to watch it? I just don´t see...

Re: Official 14th Anniversary Show (PPV) Thread

Guys, come on. This is intellectually disingenuous. The ROH talent are undercard guys in NJPW. Tanahashi, Okada, and Nakamura come to ROH and beat main event ROH talent. Main event ROH talent goes to Japan and beats opening match NJPW talent. That is not the same thing at all. Even more reason to p...

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

Many times the issue with the border is not having the papers in order. Yes there are a couple with bigger issues but every promotion has that. All the reasons we can say now (travel, dollar value, Talent) weren't issues last May. If anything it would be much cheaper to bring international talent t...

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

It's Harper's No Douchebags Allowed border policy. You can't get into Canada anymore if you have ANY sort of DUI or arrest for any type of violent conduct . Since so many wrestlers aren't boyscouts, there are a lot that can't get into the country.

Re: ROH/Hammerstein Question

As someone who has spent a little time promoting events (mostly bands in and around the Toronto area) this has always been mind boggling to me. That you can pack a place like that with people paying 20-80 dollars a head and not come out on top. The price to rent the place must be insane. Does anyone...

Re: Official Winter Warriors Tour 2016 (Live Events) Thread

See, and for me, it initially has the opposite impact on me. I don't think "wow, they sure sent Elgin packing with all those finishers." I think "wow, it took all those finishers to pin Elgin."

Re: Official Winter Warriors Tour 2016 (TV Tapings) Thread

Holy Shit. I can't believe what I just read.

If AJ Styles debuts in the Royal Rumble the night after Joeism admits a flaw in ROH booking, it'll be the biggest weekend of wrestling surprises since the Montreal Screwjob.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Since the other three titles have been booked so effectively lately, and been used to elevate stories and feuds, a new title will be wholly welcome.

Fuck me, a new title? I have an old lamp that doesn't work, that could be booker.

Re: Someone explain the exact reason why...

At this point, in my opinion, we might be worse off than during the Cornette era. I mean, at least with Cornette, even if I didn't agree with what was happening in the ring (whether it was a Mike Mondo push, using the Headbangers, Fit Finlay title matches, etc.), at least I could get my head around ...

Re: Hopes for 2016

I disagree, it's not a matter of competence. With ROH's tiny roster, it's impossible to keep matches fresh if you're going to make every show available to the public. Every time you do a match-up at a house show, you are burning it for television and PPV, at least as a fresh matchup. This is part of...

Re: Hopes for 2016

I don't think we'll see them stop using the tour naming system, and I don't think those shows will get more important. the day is coming very soon where they stop treating every house show as something that's built from top to bottom. ROH is the only American company that does this with house shows,...
