Congratulations to Ian Riccaboni on his NJPW gig. So glad that, at the very least for the short term, ROH’s demise won’t also mean his immense talent is lost to wrestling in general.
Maybe Gresham could give him a call for Terminus as well!

Re: Final Battle - End of an Era Thread
All great points - I hadn’t actually considered the value to Eli, Dak and Johnson of being in all the social media/marketing for the Control Your Narrative shows. I do rather strongly disagree with the ‘if you have a chance to use Strowman, you take it’ idea. I don’t think there is any need. At all....

Re: Final Battle - End of an Era Thread
I loved SOME of the show. Briscoes/OGK was an absolute rollercoaster - and I was a little bit emotional watching the Briscoes and their family go nuts at the win. Gresh holding the proper ROH Title belt aloft to end of the show felt like a fitting way for a once great company to bow out. I thought W...

Re: Final Battle - End of an Era Thread
If they run that many matches on Hour One I’ll be surprised - but happily so as it does free up the card a little. I always reference the 17th Anniversary Show as one of the best ROH PPV’s under the Sinclair era - and one of the reasons for that is that it had such a tight, loaded card with everythi...

Re: Final Battle - End of an Era Thread
Too many matches. Again. Nothing will get enough time. Again. Same old story sadly. It’s so frustrating. (That said - I’m happy to see Joe Hendry. The pandemic came at a horrible time for he and Mark Haskins in particular. Haskins was getting a crack at the main event scene and Hendry’s gimmick had ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
100% agree I’d prefer Tracy as the next (/last?) Pure Champion. I get his appeal is limited as he’s not the most charismatic presence - but he’s a fantastic worker, who had an awesome run during the Pure Tournament, and an absolute banker in terms of delivering great matches (plus unfortunately for ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
I've actually enjoyed most, if not all, of the no crowd shows for a variety of reasons, most due to the great presentation and the difference in style. But I also understand that I am in the vast, vast, VAST minority and that it is NOT a formula for a successful or profitable company. Yeah totally....

Re: Final Battle card Predictions
For me the Briscoes HAVE to be in the main event. They deserve nothing less. If this is the last event - Jay Briscoe (and Mark) should be closing the show. They got shafted into a nobody cares four-way (and the BS with Enzo and Big Cass) at MSG - no matter what Final Battle should be their night. I ...

Not something I can always say about Jim Cornette - but I’m looking forward to finding a bit of time to check this one out. As someone intimately involved in brokering the original ROH/Sinclair buy-out and someone with first-hand experience of how Sinclair have mismanaged the product I’m presuming J...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
I really think people are getting too hung up on guys working without contracts. Many of ROH’s featured performers in 2021 are already working like that. It’s how they worked for a lot of their existence. There will always be talent out there, and even at the obscene rate they’ve signed guys, WWE a...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Why so serious? Ring Of Honor gets to reboot itself & maybe create something different. Something interesting like a cross between PWG, GCW, and UFC. At the same time, Sinclair should sell ROH to ESPN. Because i like to invest in something but to me freelancing and having no contract talent to ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
As I’ve said for a long time - ROH dies when Sinclair decides to pull the plug. That tape library is far too valuable for any wrestling company with a serious streaming platform, hungry for content. If it’s the case that Koff ‘fought for ROH’ and Sinclair said no, then I’d suggest it’s done. The pre...

This all feels very end of days. If it is the end it’s a desperate shame. As someone that has been around watching and writing about this company since 2002 it is incredibly sad. But at the same time, having been around for so long it means I have been watching a company which has dramatically lost ...

Re: Jimmy Rave has retired
Choosing to ignore a despicable comment earlier in this thread I actually think a ‘Collector Series’ Best Of Jimmy Rave DVD would be a pretty cool idea to help us raise some money for him. Certainly a more worthwhile cause (and definitely a bigger seller) than randomly re-releasing an old War Of The...

Savoy in MLW…sigh. Although anyone with SHIMMER links (ie Savoy) will gravitate towards Dave Prazak and MLW. Which is why I’m astonished ROH couldn’t find a way to work with him if they were serious about their women’s division. Hopefully Nicole & Willow will continue to work both…I fear not tho...

The lack of respect for Covid-19 and some of the flippant, ill-informed comments on this thread are cringe-worthy.
I applaud ROH for the seriousness with which they have treated the pandemic, and continue to do so.

Yeah I’m not one to be overly negative unnecessarily - but current ROH employee saying ‘big things are coming’ on repeat feels a lot like a musical artist saying ‘I really think this is some of the best stuff I’ve ever written’ EVERY time they release a new album. Or The Walking Dead producers insis...
