This is a great point. The JG Wentworth commercial made Lethal the actual champion of television, so they probably figured they might as well make it official and put the belt on him.

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!

That's what forums are all about...circular discussion. It's also about cycles of outrage, though, and we do have to make sure to stay on schedule: April 21: Commence outrage about shitty Toronto card April 22: Convince selves to relax about shitty Toronto card because the NYC show is the "imp...

Re: ROH Ringside Membership

It looks like they've caught up on adding the 2013 VODs for RSM to include the first 6 events of the year (through Supercard of Honor VII)

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING

The funny thing is the main reason I'm holding my breath during the uStream shows isn't because I'd be pissed if they have hiccups, but I'm just afraid they'll have a few issues, they'll get killed on Twitter for it, and Joe Koff will swear of live iPPV again. As of a Feb radio interview he still in...

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!

Everyone is going to shit on it, but I honestly believe this scenario could play out and nothing that has happened recently or been announced does anything but reinforce that it could happen: 1. AJ is beating Okada for the title on 5/3 (if the idea was to push him, wouldn't NJPW build to a showdown ...

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING

I saw an interesting take today from a blog that I hadn't seen mentioned before. Everyone is focusing on the "Now is a bad time to get into the PPV business. How can anyone charge $25 for a PPV now that the WWE's are effectively $10 a month?" It's worth considering that at least some fans ...

Re: MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING

Is the iPPV option $25 also? Or will it be cheaper? $15. Really? From what I saw, he was non-committal on the iPPV simulcast price. I agree and good catch to pick up on the non-commitment when asked about iPPV price. Everyone is assuming the iPPV price isn't changing, but I have to believe it will ...

Re: Random ROH thoughts

It was pretty widely reported/accepted that Hero was going to be the guy but had issues getting to the venue in time. Considering that, I thought what they ended up doing in this match was actually pretty solid on-the-fly booking. In fact, a bunch of consecutive ROH shows consecutively this winter h...

Re: Steen & Roddy Going To WWE Camp - Possibly Elgin Too

It looks like from some vague twitter posts that the tryout actually occurred last Thurs & Fri. Not sure about that, but that's my guess from what I've pieced together. One of the Bucks tweeted wishing good luck to their friends who were in Orlando trying out, then Steen later tweeted just the w...

Re: Raising the Bar VOD

It's really hard to make a business case to reduce prices in a business like ROH with a small but loyal following where there is questionable price elasticity. Unlike the WWE's theory in pricing the network, the base just isn't large enough for volume to make up for the lost revenue of a price reduc...

Re: Future of Honor Show Announcement

Kevin Kelly gave some details on this on his last podcast. Said they'd periodically run these shows w/ guys from tryout camps or people they want to take another look at. Said the Main Event would be ROH roster guys (and maybe part of another match), but the rest would be prospects. Also said 1st sh...

Re: ROH on SBG Discussion Thread

For whatever reason, the Pittsburgh market (MyPittsburghTV & FOX53) got the 100th episode repeat and not the current episode. ROH Twitter said they were looking into what happened (GREG!)
