Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Taven definitely was for a while. The issue was that he wasn't followed up on well once he was taken away from Truth and then went right back heel to be Cole's lackey, and once that run was done he felt like he had well out-lived his usefulness since no one sees him as a main-event level singles gu...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Is there anyone from the TPT that can be seen as a success really? I mean, Bennett would have been forgotten long ago if Maria wasn't his wife, Taven is a midcarder at best, Hanson is a tag guy, Dijak... was tall and looked good I guess, Rush bailed after a year because he's obviously a piece of shi...

Re: War Of The Worlds 2017 SuperThread

Would someone care to explain the logic of this one? Losing streak*, turning heel at some point. You know, the usual Delirious """storytelling""". * I know this isn't a streak,but they sure turned the longest reigning champion of the modern/current era into just anothe...

Oh yeah, there was a show that happened yesterday, you can tell how blazingly hot this tour is by the fact that nobody is talking about it.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

It seems to me that Omega is basically saying "fuck you, I'm not showing up for a random match against [Insert midcarder's name here] or pointless tag matches". I guess it works both in kayfabe and outside, but kinda shits on ROH for being fifth-rate garbage below "Road to" house...

Re: War Of The Worlds 2017 SuperThread

Yeah, who cares about build-up and emotions when you can have worthless """dream""" matches with ROH scrubs/TNA and WWE castoffs and NJPW wrestlers going 20% because they don't give a shit? That's some super high-end shit right there.

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread

It's almost like Delirious fucking sucks at his job and can't use an undefeated streak angle in any kind of meaningful way. Remember when... Jay Briscoe ended Fish's streak in a random TV match for no reason? Or when Moose just lost with no fanfare whatsoever to Alexander and his billionth failed pu...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

I'm so sick of reading this idiotic stuff. This, and the bitching about the tryout camps is so ridiculous. WWE makes almost every single performer go through a camp and then go to NXT before they sign them. Kevin Steen and Generico had to tryout. Nobody bitches about that. Nobody bitches that all t...

Re: Something I Miss About the Sapolsky Era Fans

Anderson has been so hot on the indy scene since he got shitcanned by TNA that I completely forgot he even existed, but yeah sure let's pretend he can bring something to the table because standards are just absurdly low nowadays. I mean, people seem to be fine with Cod Erodes getting a main event pu...

Re: ROH Masters Of The Craft Official Thread

The mere fact that Scurll has been facing pretty much only outside jobbers and guys who are about to leave is a joke. I would bet that if ROH didn't tour in the UK last year, Scurll would never have been signed in the first place (Ospreay doesn't count because he's never there anyway). Hell, even if...

Marty Scurll defends the TV Title against........... Ken Anderson AKA Mr. Anderson AKA Mr. Kennedy..... Keep becoming TNA ROH, because that worked out so well for them. Also keep throwing random shit at Scurll, that'll convince him to stay for sure. I can vaguely understand bringing Bully Ray becau...

Re: Wrestling Promotions affected by Youtube Restricted Mode

@cgstong It sure seems to matter enough to Google and advertisers though and that's what counts here. It's almost like advertisers don't want to be associated with content that's a substitute for porn in some parts of the world and odd fetishes in general (intergender and women's wrestling).

Oh no, these promotions (ROH included) won't be able to monetize women's matches that people clearly were watching for the great in-ring action and deep storytelling.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

ROH always finds talented people to replace departed talent. They've done this since for their entire existence. TNA pulls a bunch of guys due to the RF scandal and they push Punk and Joe to take their spots. Punk leaves and you see the rise of Danielson. Danielson, Nigel, Hero and Claudio leave an...

Re: ROH Unauthorized Official Thread

Wacky """comedy""" and whatever Delirious does nowadays, which is not very much. It's just going to be needlessly long and competitive anyway because that'll butter Scurll up to stay, just like throwing Castle in another random trios match for whatever reason.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Gotta cut some expenses to overpay the Young Bucks and Jay Lethal.
Was it that hard to just bring them in as Ken Doane and Mike Mondo, without the schtick?
Or you know, just not at all.

When I talk about us liking to worry about departures more than celebrating signings, I kind of had Marty and Will in mind. The ink had barely dried on their contracts when we started worrying about them leaving. But in general, the quality of the departures has been much higher than the quality of...
