Re: Women of Honor Thread

‘The guy that runs SHIMMER’??!! If Dave was available for this kind of work and ROH didn’t reach out to bring him in to spearhead their women’s division then I’d be flabbergasted/extremely disappointed. I don’t know how seriously MLW are taking it, or what money they have to invest in it - but Praza...

Re: ROH TV

Eli looked really rusty on his first ROH since Covid - but after that he’s been great.

I thought Eli/LSG a few weeks ago was superb and an absolute coming out party, particularly for Isom. Interested to see how him running to the SOTF final two goes…

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Gotcha - I’d never really picked up on that watching on DVD/VOD. Certainly not as obvious that it has horrible line of sight issues as Terminal 5 (which in fairness also looks like it would be an awesome concert venue!)

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Nobody is ever happy when Terminal 5 is announced. Very poor sightlines and low capacity. Hopefully you guys never have to go back there. How many times have you been? I have been to Terminal 5, I believe 4 times(this might be off by 1 in either direction), it's by far from the worst building ROH r...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I’m largely open-minded on ‘cinematic’ matches. I’ve found them hit or miss throughout the pandemic TBH. I completely appreciate wrestlers trying something different. Some have worked (I liked both Stadium Stampedes), but I’ve found some extremely confusing (Vincent/Taven, most of the pre-COVID Brok...

Re: Women of Honor Thread

Finally Savoy is in! If ROH were serious about building a credible high-quality division they lock her down now.

With Mandy in too there can’t be that many spots left now.

Re: Women of Honor Thread

Willow (wonder why she’s not Willow Nightingale in ROH?) vs Alex Gracia was really good. Probably my favourite WDW match in thus far

Willow is a great pick up for the tournament. Fresh, young, dynamic, exciting and different.

(And seeing Lenny Leonard back on ROH content makes me extremely happy)

Re: WWE/NJPW FLIRTING THREAD

Hopefully WWE sends all their biggest names over for a tour once a year - where those big names dog it, trample over all the biggest NJPW stars regardless of what their storylines are and how it suits the NJPW product. Then progressively the scale of the talent is reduced. It starts with Roman Reig...

Re: HonorClub Thread - ROH's Streaming Service

Feels like they’ve been doing some updates to it. Including removing the option to maximise the screen, and instead offer ‘picture in picture’...which is annoying as hell and needs to be fixed ASAP!

Re: ROH TV

My own view is that ROH will never ‘exist’ outside of Sinclair ever again unfortunately. I can’t imagine ROH has been even remotely profitable in raw monetary terms for a long while. If, as and when Sinclair decided to cut the cord, WWE would be waiting to pounce and suck up the tape library...and t...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Whilst I don’t deny that the jury is still very much out on whether this ‘new’ ROH will draw any better than 2019 ROH - are we seriously criticising them for continuing to take this pandemic seriously and deciding to be cautious as they take their first tentative steps back into ticketed events? Ind...

Re: Women of Honor Thread

I’m sure I read that somewhere - but may be totally wrong as I can’t find anything about that now. Either way, I think she could be awesome in the new Women’s Division if used properly. And completely different to anyone else on the roster. But yes, Nicole Savoy is must-see for me. She’s been outsta...

Re: Women of Honor Thread

I’d only seen Alize in passing during her AEW appearances - but she impressed me. Glad she’s in and excited to see more of her. Another fresh, young but well-travelled face and exactly the kind of talent ROH should be recruiting for the new women’s division. If Savoy isn’t in this it’s an absolute t...

Re: ROH DVDs For Sale

Doug is a genuine seller - with rapid shipment even to the UK where I’m based.

Has been massively helpful in plugging the last few gaps as I tried to track down 2002-2003 DVD’s to replace my old VHS originals from that time period!

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

That was fun. Nothing groundbreaking - but so refreshing to see ROH Women’s division (Women Of Honor) match get some real time to play-out.

As above I thought Rok-C and Hyan were the standouts and the ones I’d like to see more of.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Release time again then. I wonder who AEW will really go after because the reality of the landscape now is that no matter whom else is interested they will have ‘first dibs’ IF Joe is available then ROH should make him their top priority - assuming he still can (and still wants to) wrestle. He’s in ...
