Re: MLW Fusion

MLW is great. I watch both MLW and NJPW every week. Court Bauer and his team really understand the true essence of pro wrestling.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

SBGI should sell part of ROH to either Tony Khan or NJPW. AEW and/or NJPW would have streaming , a cable TV deal , regional sports networks and free broadcast TV . SBGI could be a partner in the content present on SBGI platforms , however AEW and/or NJPW would handle the creative side of the busines...

Delirious wants to present Chikara or DDT . Joe Koff wants to make money without investing serious capital into ROH . The fans want to see Baba's All Japan level work. IMOO, there is your disconnect .

Re: Future of Honor Thread

Not good. Delirious is trying to build a roster full of students. I guess he is trying to create his own Chikara Wrestling Factory or OVW system . The advantages of this type of system is lower cost talent that is easy for the office to manage. The downside is that the fan base expects to see the to...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

The ROH office should have given the book to Rhodes . Did Eddie Graham give the book to Bubba Douglas, Jack Hart or Gordon Nelson ? No , Graham gave the book to Dusty Rhodes. Dust was the man that drew money for Graham. Did Jerry Jarrett make Plowboy Frazier, Don Bass or Tommy Gilbert the booker ? N...

Re: 2019 Top Prospect Tournament Thread

Do any of these guys have at shot at drawing money for ROH ? ROH really needs to book talents that have some buzz around them . I never seen any of these guys booked by PWG , AAW . AIW or Beyond . I know these guys train at the ROH Dojo , but what does that mean at the end of the day. The companies ...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Also , I am happy about the the additions of James Storm and Eli Drake. Plus a single run for Alex Shelly is a winner. However , Delirious has not lost his comedic touch with the return of Grizzly Redwood. Unbelievable ! I have nothing against Mitch Franklin , he is just not qualified to be pro wres...

So Grizzly Redwood has returned to ROH . Wow!

You have low tickets , low ratings and low PPV buys. Who in is going to pay the curr...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

I think KENTA is still living in the USA . If so I don't see why he would not work some ROH dates between NJPW tours. I would guess that Austin Gunn will be in the top prospect field.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Would people be against sinclair selling roh to Viacom Why would anyone care if Sinclair sold ROH to Viacom ? If Viacom wants to pay SBGI 's price they could purchase ROH . However Sinclair would Viacom want a premium for ROH . Sinclair is in the money business , they are not going to just give ROH...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Delirious does not really book any story lines . All the matches are thrown together at the last minute. I fondly recall the days when Gabe was the booker. Gabe always had multiple story lines going during his tenure . Remember how every show had meaning and the ROH was treated with respect. Now yo...

Do you think it would be a good move for sinclair to sell roh to nexstar media which has money and bought wgn america I ask because maybe they will actually put money into it Sinclair has the money to run ROH .

Re: Bully Ray Allegedly Shouts Down a Fan Backstage

Mandy should be fired for spitting on a fan . Bubba should have just let it go . So what his partner got her feelings her. It wrestling heels are supposed to get heckled by the fans. If a heel does not get any heat then they are not much of a heel . Bubba has said so much worse to fans over a live m...

https://twitter.com/misterj831/status/1135007257207267328?s=21 I could be wrong, but i didn't think ROH has ran Portland/Seattle before. Either way, these were poorly marketed. Grand Rapids looked like that too, 15 minutes before the show, but once it starts, all the people buying merchandise, meet...

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

I don't it's out of the realms of possibility of ROH being part of the group, but in all honesty I don't know if I really want them to be considering how I see AEW. In all honesty I would be happy with ROH standing on it's own, there are always wrestlers good enough to make a brand attractive to wa...

why do you hate nwa? Because it's a sad joke. It's some serious Weekend at Bernie's crap. Billy Corgan is a vile, disgusting, stupid human being and the NWA represents the segment of wrestling fans that lives in the past, supporting nostalgia for nostalgia's sake and holding the business back.
