Surprises always get at least cursory views. Fans love to speculate on that stuff and it's something somewhat fresh that maybe sells a couple more tickets.
Especially with the interviews done around the creative control/influence the Bucks have.

Re: The General ROH Complaints Thread
I agree with some of his "complaints" but that was one of the saddest things I saw in 2016.
Also - and it's a first - someone actually complaining that Lethal lost the belt to Cole. What a weird thing.

Briscoes vs. Lee/Taylor - save that for PPV baby. That should draw, especially in Texas. I like it.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
Fish is probably more frustrated with not being booked for 1/4 and George being fired. George being fired was a very under reported story. Except no one has followed up the George story with anything around how it actually affected Ring of Honor. Because at the time, around Global Wars, all the com...

No TPT for 2017? No there is. It begins at the Pittsburgh TV tapings. Sweet. I'll be there. Got to see the finals back in '14 with that Hoss battle. Still irked London flaked off that show. Wasn't the excuse, "I was upset i learned I'd be facing Cedric instead of Roddy'. Which was announced at...

Re: Official Saturday Night at Center Stage Thread
Couldn't agree more. Bull James does absolutely nothing for me and is a complete waste of Silas Young. I agree with your first point and fear we'll all get tired of typing "Fuck Bull James" before long. If you made the business decision to hire James, using Silas to try to get him over is...

Re: ROH on Traditional Cable PPV
Yes, the tape-delayed ones were on regular cable PPV. They are an absolutely fantastic jumping on point because for all but the last one, the company was DVD-only, so Gabe was very cognizant of the fact that there would be new fans who would be only be following the product through bimonthly PPVs, ...

Re: Kevin Kelly interview on ROH creative process, WK11, Nig
good interview..maybe more departures coming soon,they expect to announce things before end of the year. One of these, fwiw, is Corino - they've just had to be very careful (imo) with the WWE deal. It's been out there so long, but easy to forget ROH hasn't been able to officially say anything yet t...

Re: Kevin Kelly interview on ROH creative process, WK11, Nig
^ Nice insight. I also guessed RevPro when he tacked on the global modifier. I can't see it being someone like TNA, although the Anthem/Hardys thing would potentially be a start there.

Ha. Well the gist is (and it's worth listening to) mainly around how the talent themselves drive that process and develop their own stuff.Marketh. wrote:There's a creative process?
*ba-dum-tsss*
The context of the discussion is around the WWE and NXT "process" that Triple H puts over all the time.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
He's got more than a case anyway. He pinned the ROH World Champion clean in the middle of the ring. It doesn't matter who the current champion is. He still deserves a title shot. This is also one more reason why I think it would have been A LOT better to have Dalton get his title shot on the first ...

Re: Women of Honor Thread
^ Various women from across the globe costs $$. The WWE can afford to absorb the losses from that, ROH cannot. The fact that they're entertaining contracts is great news. You have to go to the camps to get in the game. From there it's a balance of cost and accessibility. Candice was a great one-off ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Every show has a budget, and given how he only works the NJPW shows, why would they book him for the tapings?
He just wrapped a ROH camp also. The knee-jerk reactions from some of these guys really makes you shake your head sometimes.

Re: Women's wrestling in ROH
I liked how they broke up the TV episode tapings with the WOH matches. With limited TV time (you're essentially looking at one segment in a four-episode block), its challenging to build the WOH brand over the television. The dedicated shows are a good counter to this. I also liked that they included...
