Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread

There's nothing wrong with having CvAS and SOTF a month apart, but you can get better utility out of that arrangement. They can have one gauntlet in the spring and one in the fall to build legitimate contenders en route to discrete PPV main events. While we're at it, it would also would help if the ...

Re: Official Road To "Best In The World '16" Thread

CvAS Jr. isn’t really all that bad when you consider that it’s not under elimination rules. The “¾ Champions vs. All Stars” match does less to cannibalize and compete with the real Champions vs. All Stars match than the latter does competing with Survival of the Fittest, another multi-man eliminatio...

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

If they had called the show "Glory by Honour", that's getting the show title wrong. The show title isn't wrong. You're of the perspective that you don't like it. That and being wrong are two different things. Yes, naming the show “Glory By Honour” would be infelicitous, defamatory, ribald...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

It's a nothing fluff column in a series of nothing fluff column, but even so - if the purpose of the column is just "here's the highlights from the show from my perspective", why completely change the tone of the biggest angle coming out of the night? Why leave out the part where the heel...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Having just read the full column, I reacted too heavily. It is just a vapid article with (extremely) select impressions from Global Wars. Everybody on the show was exciting! The deepest roster! What an athlete! Boy, that Bobby Fish! Bullet Club sure is popular, right? And thanks for those in in Toro...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

ROH is so thoroughly disappointing in telling stories, delivering exposition, and maintaining appropriate moods for their programs. That write-up by Kelly is truly untenable. I’m not what the more unappealing prospect is: that Kevin Kelly—in character or otherwise—misinterpreted the entire angle (th...

Re: Prince Nana signs an ROH contract

Awesome—I hope we see more foreboding envelopes in the near future or at least provide some explanation to this terrible story or oh goodness why don’t they realize that the Embassy is an embarrassing husk that has failed to build anybody in eight years.

Re: Ring of Honor Events Schedule Thread

I appreciate that Champions vs. All Stars get its own billing and is part of the canon of the Glory By Honor weekend.

Also, we could have had much worse (see 2012). It could have been “Glory By Honor: The Unbreakable Hope Meets A Lethal Strike-Back Crisis.”

Re: Official Global Wars/War Of The Worlds 2016 Super Thread

You're overanalyzing wins and losses. Does Kyle's loss to the IWGP champ make you any less excited about a title match against Lethal? Would Kyle beating Lethal somehow be ruined because he lost a match to Naito? Does being a top guy mean you can't lose to another company's top guy? The answer to a...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Thanks, Jigsaw and DXvsNWO. Totally did switch the two, I forgot we were getting the Super J this year. The Bullet Club spot also makes a lot of sense. But lordy do I not want to see Bullet Club and Suzuki-gun in the same tournament.

(They shouldn’t have booked Kyle O’Reilly in a PPV singles match with a clean premeditated loss! It really doesn’t matter who his opponent is or where they come from.)

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I thought Kyle O’Reilly was already confirmed? I would be shocked if it weren’t him.

Unfortunately, I don’t see Adam Cole being considered a heavyweight when he arrives, baybay.

Re: Official War Of The World '16: Night 2 (TV Tapings) Thre

Lethal vs. Briscoe II does not have a strong enough build to be a PPV main event. It’s also a face vs. face match of two established players. No one will get over. The match also has nothing to do with the ending of their previous big PPV cliffhanger. It’s a dumb match to main event Best in the World.

The blame for any booking nonsense is still at the responsibility of the creative director, Hunter Johnston.

Re: Official Global Wars/War Of The Worlds 2016 Super Thread

‘Spot monkey’ is, in fact, a derogatory term that should read ‘a high flyer that I don’t like.’ Discussing who is or who is not is at best subjective and at worst vacuous.
