Re: Official Winter Warriors Tour Thread

Oh, Roddy, how did you' become so criminally awful at cutting face promos? I mean, how can he still be such a risible Indy knob during interviews? I'm always hoping he has at least picked up a few pointers during his decade-long tenure in ROH, but I don't think we're ever going to see anything drama...

Re: Silas Young's return is nigh

I just want to gauge people's opinions on the matter--do you think he should return as a face? Since last summer, it seemed like his character was aimed to get over as a heel and then naturally transition as a face. However, with reDRagon slowly turning, the upper midcard is nearly over-encumbered b...

Re: The WWE Thread

I don't know how anyone can be disappointed that Reigns won the Royal Rumble--or at least surprised in any manner of fashion. He's the opening and closing figure of all the promotional sizzle reels and he is the most Ideal McMahon Wrestler there ever was. Further, Bryan vs a surrogate of The Authori...

Re: Tyler Black

Great to see the WWE's number one regularly performing heel cut a face promo. Rollins/Black has always been a solid wrestler, but I have still yet to take to enjoy any incarnation of his various characters. It seems like he does not know which aspects of real life translate to a wrestling character....

Re: Anyone miss Davey Richards

I was also referring to Davey's run as a singles guy, from 2009 on, but it wasn't until his world title reign that I realized how dire things would become. He did things in the ring that I did not agree with during his breakout period, but his voice of storytelling during his time as the main figure...

Re: Anyone miss Davey Richards

I admit that I do miss when Davey used to punt away at the fans' hands. His character work was best when he was a slap-happy, gung-ho tyrant with a Napoleon complex. However, I relate Davey Richards to some seriously dark times in ROH. Watching him cut maudlin post-match promo after post-match promo...

Re: Ciampa, where is the ceiling on him?

It's hard to say what the ceiling is on a person, especially in a place like Ring of Honor, but I think he has found a good place for himself seated in the mid to upper card. His work is not consistent enough nor is he over to the point where he could regularly main event. However, I won't deny that...

Re: ROHWorld Year End Awards

Thanks for all the effort put in. It's stuff like this that prove to be very interesting in the future, say ten years from now, as we ponder about the first joint NJPW/ROH show or the year Cole really started to cut his teeth as a top character (in ROH). For next year's awards, a category to conside...

Re: The Worst ROH Wrestler of the Year - NOMINATIONS

I have a few names that come to the foreground quite easily. I wrote the ones that came first--so you can argue that as some sort of proof of order. Luckily, there are not that many regular members of the roster that are stinkers, but the fact remains that there are some in-ring duds in ROH. Some of...

Re: Tadarius Thomas' Last ROH Match in Dearborn

I don't want to come down hard on the guy, but I don't think he was in any position to be put in the main roster for Ring of Honor. It probably comes down to the fault of management somewhere that a person so green was allowed to be featured on the main card. Maybe he can find more success in MMA or...

C'mon. This is plain insulting to have on the board.

Young Bucks and ACH v Christopher Daniels, Kazarian and Coleman , 6 man tag, - Final Battle. I would say in terms of disappointment level it is a nomination for me as the WORST match of 2014.

Re: ROHWorld Awards Voting - Non-Wrestler of the Year Round

Truth Martini is a legitimate starmaker and constantly finds ways to bring out the best in himself and who he is paired with. I think he has consecutively been the best non-athletic figure for the past several years.

Re: ROHWorld Awards Voting - Moment of the Year Round II

For some people, the NJPW/ROH announcement seemed inevitable. I mean, we've been hearing speculation for years about it. At its time, I remember Styles' return creating a very large buzz, probably the largest amount of buzz I've seen for a free agent. To me, this is a large matter of incredible circ...
