Re: Official Death Before Dishonor XIII Thread

I think if I had not known it was going to be a 60-minute draw going into it I would have had a bit more negative opinion of the main event. But knowing what I was getting into I liked it a lot.

As far as the "greatest match" comment goes, yes it was Michael Cole-esh.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

If Dalton Castle doesn't win the Observer award for best gimmick I shall be disappointed.

Re: The WWE Thread

I'll try and find the clip but a podcast I listen to made a fantastic point about the hypocrisy of celebrating Ultimate Warrior while getting rid of Hulk Hogan. They both have said just horrible things. And he'll be back eventually, but in the meantime screw 'em. Even in private those comments are i...

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread

7/25 & 7/29 Stray Observations… - It was just a squash but nice to see Jonathan Gresham in ROH. - Kingdom continues to be pretty good but unable to get a reaction. - I want some ‘My Dinner with Andre’ style vignettes with Silas Young and Bob Evans. - The Dalton Castle chants crushing the Moose ...

Re: Noah relationship

I assume it's a byproduct of their NJPW relationship. And of course the more relationships they build (minus TNAGFW) the better!

Anyone have a source for the time slot change? I can't find it on my usual dirt sheet sites.

Re: How Should ROH Book Hulk Hogan?

Only if they bring in Bubba the Love Sponge too. And the Nasty Boys.

Re: The TNA Thread

I really feel like TNA not getting Heyman is up there as one of the worst decisions, or things that did not happen for them. I think it would have helped but I don't see him being there putting them in a different position then they are now. I'm sure creatively he'd be a gold mine but creative isn'...

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread

7/18 & 7/22 Stray Observations… - This episode would have been so much better if they went back to 2011 for all the most significant events in ROH on SBG. Their choices seemed pretty random. - I really hope Page beats ACH at DBD. - Remember when the announce booth was 2.5 miles from the ring? T...

Highlights of the last 199

So this week’s ROH TV had “highlights” of ROH’s time on SBG and they were pretty underwhelming but it got me thinking. What are the biggest TV highlights since episode 1?

The only things that come to mind immediately are Cheeseburgers debut and the SCUM cage match.

Re: Chances of Davey Richards returning?

Eddie is no. 1, I agree on Davey being a 'big maybe.'

And I might be in the minority but there are not any TNA guys (who didn't come from ROH) I'm clamoring to see in ROH. EC3 and Roode would be kind of fun but I think ROH has enough guys stuck in midcard hell without adding a bunch of new names.

Re: Wrestling related pet peeves of yours...

Recently I've been noticing wrestlers (mostly TNA but not exclusively) telling people on twitter to "be fans" and just support the product. I'm pretty torn about this; on one hand yes sometimes people on the internet can go a little overboard with criticism (a pet peeve of mine) but at the...

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread

Re: The WWE Thread

It was too much too soon and you probably didn't need the feminist bullshit. I think this is also a big underlying part of it. Trying to shoehorn in "look at us. Our women are so great, just like women in other sports are being so great" is NEVER as effective as just letting them go out t...

Re: Elgin

Yeah, this face turn wasn't good. They did very little to build towards it and out of nowhere he's a good guy. Not a fan, could've come up with something. He could've said that finally getting that NJPW spot (a G1 spot already, even better) has made him see life in a different way or whatever. I do...

Re: ARIES IS COMING BACK!

I think the Kingdom scenario is best if Aries is here as a regular. I don't need to see him blow through the we-should-be-getting-pushed midcarders and getting a title shot.

Re: ROH Wrestlers Who Have It And Those Who Haven't

the only people I'd trim atm are probably Brutal Bob and Caprice Coleman. nothing against either, they just don't add much - practically everybody else does. also re: reDRagon, O'Reilly is the babiest face that ever did face Coleman is the perfect jobber though.
