Re: World Title Match Result - *SPOILERS*
Steen winning was definitely the right booking, sucks Cornette played no role in the match though. I'm sure the feud isn't over there. Speaking of feuds not being over, still with WGTT and Briscoes? Giving WGTT the titles makes no sense, next to Mike Bennett they are two of the most useless and stal...

Re: Official Border Wars LIVE Discussion!
What else can I add? This makes ROH look arrogant by blaming GFL, leaving do do their own, then incompetent when they can't even do in-house iPPVs right. I'm getting really annoyed with the "we'll put the replay up, we promise! We'll give you some exclusive stuff for ringside members to make it...

Re: Match of the Year Tracking Thread
fm20000 Forgot this happened in the UFC. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d30/Cadj/Brock.gif?t=1335767344 Sloppy high-risk move (totally uncoordinated!) that could have killed him.

Re: The Battle of Richmond
Can't say I agree. This is feels like the 30th match between Bennett and Edwards in the last 18 months and they have NO chemistry in ring. I'd call Cole VS Ciampa more "solid TV" than anything good enough to warrant a purchase, to be honest about it.

Re: The Battle of Richmond
I must agree that it does seem like ROH more and more have been running the same matches over and over. Just two or three new guys to the midcard alone would be a huge improvement to the product. Also, the way the booking looks, I'm not liking the way the show seems to be panning out. Cole loses aga...

Re: Best in the World '12 poster
http://theharrisonanalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Best-In-The-World.jpg That was the poster for BITW 2011. Not only was it a sell-out crowd, but it remains the highest PPV buyrate for them. Please note it has both Davey and Eddie on it, which along with Steen are the "no-nos" to p...

Re: Best in the World '12 poster
This is about integrity from a fed called Ring of Honor. Despite the "get over it" memo, that is not a viable "get out of jail free card". This is about promoting your fed to deliver a good show, not hyping the ex-WWE stars you've gotten to appear. As I said, this is the type of ...

Re: Best in the World '12 poster
There is a huge difference in hyping a guy like Fit Finlay, who will have a featured match against one of their champions, and hyping Maria who will be the valet of a guy for maybe ten minutes total. I'm sorry, attempting to appeal to more fans (on a show called Best In The World no less) should not...

Re: Best in the World '12 poster
Honestly, it's things like this that give ROH a backlash. They talk about how they're wrestling, not "sports entertainment nonsense", and boast they have the best roster ever. Yet on this poster they have their world champion sharing space with a ex-WWE midcarder who is working sporadicall...

Re: The WWE Thread
The rugby aspect is more of a background than a gimmick. If the announcers hadn't mentioned it, you wouldn't have known it. I liked the debut a lot.... that was a killer European Uppercut near the end. The finisher is just kind of there.... he'll probably change it before too long. My only gripe: Hi...

Re: WGTT, Post Briscoes Feud
Honestly, I hope they split from ROH. Neither is nearly as talented as what ROH would like to think and aren't worth the big money we know they're probably getting based upon those classic Sunday Night Heat matches people still talk about. They just aren't a good fit, and haven't offered ROH anythin...

Re: Best Wrestler in America NOT in ROH?
I also think it's really amusing people are listing guys in this thread who it's known I don't think are any good. Like it's an attempt to troll me or something. Y'all need some new material. I also think it's really amusing you assume you're such a key part of this forum that you actually believe ...

Re: Who else is completely annoyed with Davey Richards?
His booking isn't the problem for me, like I said originally, it's his matches. It's like watching an action movie that has no storyline, no substance, just a bunch of car chases, some big explosions, and special effects. Nothing ever connects to anything else because there's no story to build, no e...

Who else is completely annoyed with Davey Richards?
I'll start on something positive. Davey Richards, from a technical stand-point, is an extremely capable wrestler. Everything he does looks crisp, he has a good look, has a good arsenal of moves, etc. But honestly, Richards is my least favorite worker today. The guy has no idea how to pace a match, i...

Re: The WWE Thread
Honestly I don't see a problem with Claudio's gimmick. We know nothing about it other than that brief tidbit of info; remember Bryan Danielson originally had the gimmick of a wrestling geek when he came into NXT, and look how it has evolved far beyond that. People can change gimmicks once they've ad...
