Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Just on what Alex Koslov has been tweeting recently I would guess he could be the ex ROH tag champion. Maff would certainly be interesting The international star could be for the men’s or Women of Honor division. Possibly TJP or Mayu. I think the 4th member of VE is going to be Adam Brooks but I co...

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

I mentioned this before, but I mostly found the psychology of Pure Rules matches to be repetitive, so while I would enjoy seeing the gimmick more often than we have (since the title was retired, Nigel/Hero @ DBD in 07 and Davey/CD @ MM 4 in 11 are the only matches I can recall), I think it is better...

Re: Tuesday Rollout

I see they are selling Honor Re-United again. I'm desperate enough for the show to pay for it again on the chance that they fixed the problem. I'll let you know if it's with a new third disc or not.

Re: ROH "State of the Art 2019" Thread (6.2.2019)

Are they still doing DVDs in 2019? Only one released is g1 supercard thus far. I asked Roh help email last week if they plan to release 2019 live events, and did not receive a response back. Anyone hear anything? My guess they may just be doing ppv’s/supershows. Looks like we got our answer. I'm no...

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

With Shane Taylor and Matt Taven in your leading singles title defenses, you might really need a beefy semi-main to make the card pop. It's weird seeing the confirmed and semi-confirmed matches and not really knowing which matches are more undercard and which are more upper midcard. I really do lik...

Re: Best In The World 2019 OFFICIAL THREAD

You'd think Briscoes/GOD, Lethal/King would be locks. Would expect a trios title match, in fact I thought that I read somewhere there would be one. Can easily see them adding a women's title match, Silas/Gresham and a Lifeblood vs Bully match. Looking like a bloated card unfortunately. Hopefully the...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

I know around Final Battle there were stories about Gresham being difficult to work with, but ultimately it feels hard to believe that he wouldn't be under contract if he wanted one.

Re: Future of ROH

I've always been pretty neutral on Delirious as booker, just because while he obviously is limited (lots of guys have no direction, he tends to recycle a lot of the same tropes, matches are too short etc.), he at least respects the history of ROH and considers SBG ROH to be a continuation of what ca...

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

I'll be curious as to the business model once TV starts. As far as, will all of the content be either TV or PPV like WWE, or will VOD shows be part of the schedule like ROH. I would imagine it's easier to keep everyone happy if there's VOD because you can main event a random show with Best Friends /...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I'm not a big fan of Shane Taylor as TV champ (he has good chemistry with Cobb, but I struggle to think of other good matches he's had). Generally speaking, I appreciate their booking of the TV title, where they mostly keep it on established / over guys so that when they want to try giving someone a...

Re: Spoilers from Chicago 5/12/19

Assuming Taven retains since it's so early into his reign, I wouldn't be a big fan of ending Cobb's undefeated streak to Taven. Fingers crossed they decide that Taven isn't working and they hot shot it to Cobb at Best in the World. I've been hoping they are going to build to a Cobb versus Rush strea...

Re: NWA 'Crockett Cup 2019' Official Thread (4.27.19)

I think there's a chance that Marty wins. Marty isn't as big a star as Cody, but I could see the NWA repeating the cycle where they give Marty a short reign to get his name in the books for prestige purposes and draw a good house for a rematch where they give it back to Aldis before Marty heads off ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

It's not my money, so if Enzo & Cass are replacing the Bouncers where they'd maybe get a one off match with the Briscoes at a house show or TV or whatever and the rest of the time they'd just be depth for the tag division, I'd actually be fine with it. But if they get the WGTT push, it'd be deat...

I still agree about the mic skills, great mind, great work ethic, etc. I'm inclined to think that he would have figured out a different way to get over. He's got a mind that's built for marketing, but his vision of pro wrestling seems to be this over the top 1980s goofball stuff based entirely arou...

Re: Matt Taven's Championship run

Nigel versus Steen? Nigel was a pretty established main event guy by that point, but that's what popped into my head first. Nigel versus Tyler too.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

I mean, in a world where ROH is going to use Enzo & Cass, I'd take Stevens back in a second. But I have to say, he's a fairly obscure midcarder from ten years ago, who hasn't wrestled regularly since then. I'd be inclined to treat him about the same as any other wrestler trying to be booked tbh....

Re: ROH/NJPW G1 Supercard Official Thread

I thought if this show underwhelmed ROH would be blamed, fairly or not. What I did not expect, and am very disappointed in, is that there seems to be a large contingent (on Twitter at least) that resents ROH's involvement and never had any interest in giving them a fair shot. Treating the double ti...
