Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Kinda funny how we all thought ROH was dead and then 3 weeks later we are arguing about an arena being too big. Good improvement. To be fair, the only reason people thought they weren't coming back was that they didn't bother to announce a return date. They could have easily staved all of that talk...

This seems like a pretty decent theory to me.

Has Gabe really shown anything recently that says he would be any better than what we have now. History won’t always repeat itself and it’s not like Gabe doesn’t have baggage carries himself in any way better than Delirious, staying clear of Gabe would be a good thing.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

BRM had some good points about how the product evolved/changed from the original concept. Indyfan also had some good points on how Evolve/DGUSA used those same beliefs; turning those same time periods; and they were failed experiments. Think the landscape really shifted once NXT basically turned in...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Instead of being vague just explain yourself... But im perplexed, why would listening to your podcast or reading this book enlighten us? Also why would it even matter? All buying that book or listening to your podcast would do is support you, some guy i never heard of and Shane Hagadorn. I don't kn...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

No offense but judging by your demeaner around here and how you speak to people, its pretty clear why no one listens to your podcast. Plus all your negativity about the product over the last couple years. i doubt id read the book. Especially if its going to be full of "ROH changed too much&quo...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

This whole roh hiatus is a mess How so? Seems like they are doing exactly what they said they would do. I wouldn't expect more info on Supercard of Honor until later Jan/early Feb (which is just a guess at this point). The roster will likely be picked over by that time. Announcing just a month but ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

So Shane and this other guy are doing a book on ROH. How long has it been since Shane had anything to do with ROH....it must have been 8 years atleast. He still knows people, though, and I assume they're going to be interviewing people rather than not having any first-person sources other than Shane.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Long story short; I don't think it mattered that much if Taven or Marty won for the rest of 2019. If the company's foundation was that shaky that one booking decision in one match; would turn people away; there are other problems at hand. The real problem was the booking, their TV presence, leaders...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Taven was on the wall of the ROH office as someone not to be booked and Delirious himself said he'd never book the guy who moonsaulted on George the Animal Steele. That comes directly from someone who was on the other side of that conversation. There has to be more to this story, right? Did Steele ...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

What we DO know; is Marty was on the all the ROH shows; and in a major role all of 2019; and the Casual/AEW tuned out. Not sure how/why a prop belt would have changed things... but maybe the perception would be slightly different. Any option they picked, business would have been down. He really was...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Booking has been proficient in my view in the sense that things don't come completely out of left field or make absolutely no sense, on a regular basis. ROH maintain a steady track, that generally makes sense within the confines of ROH. Bubba made things worse, and Joey made things worse. Back in t...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

As with AHM and BRM above - not sure I’d agree at all with Delirious being a ‘proficient’ booker, particularly as his time in charge has stretched on and on. In particular I think the point that he has been carried by his incredibly talented roster is pertinent. It’s something I’ve said in my revie...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I think there are a lot of parallels between him as a booker and him as a wrestler. I think he is underappreciated as a wrestler, and in a lot of ways as a booker as well. The booking has been technically proficient, which a lot of people overlook in the same way they do a consistently above averag...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I love Delirious, the wrestler. He’s always been SO under-rated. I’ll sit and critique his skill as a booker/head of creative all day long - but I don’t think ability as a wrestler could ever be questioned. First it was his whacky character which caused people to overlook how good he is/was - and i...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Ring of Honor means a lot to me, and I don't want it to die but with the leadership as is, "re-imagining" Ring of Honor I have zero faith in this succeeding. I don't think anyone could have said it better. They have tried to "re-imagine" ROH several times over the past few years...
