Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
To clarify, the champions let my son hold their belts for the photos. Without being asked too. I think that is cool.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
I think some are being a bit harsh on Evolve here. For the record, I attended last night's show in Summit, IL. Helluva show from start to finish. Great wrestling. Great talent. Enjoyable without a single borng moment. I can't speak for other venues, but the facility in Summit is a very nice building...

Re: ROH & Customer Service Failure
It amazes me, from a customer service aspect, that you wouldn't at least tell the consumer that if they cancel early, access is gone early. If they had warned me ahead of time, I got no complaint. My bad. But it is somewhat ridiculous to me.

ROH & Customer Service Failure
Somewhat long story, but I'll make it as short as possible. So on January 10, 2017 I signed up for the annual Ringside Membership. Paid my $59.99 and ROH accepted it. I've detailed before how I am a longtime fan and support this company. I always plan ahead, so yesterday I decided to cancel the memb...

Re: The NJPW Thread - G1 Climax
I have ranted about the stuff in PWG in the past. I usually dislike the Bucks as well, and do think the quality of the matches in ROH has significantly deteriorated- and mostly because the wrestlers are trying to copy the PWG spotfest style. Ishii in particular boils my blood because he takes it to ...

Re: The NJPW Thread - G1 Climax
So Naito hits Ishii with his finisher and not only does Ishii not sell it, but Naito does start to sell. .HOW F*CKING STUPID CAN YOU GET?! Imagine if Okada hit someone with the Rainmaker and they took this huge bump for it, but then popped right back up while Okada collapsed in pain. It’d be f*ckin...

Re: The NJPW Thread - G1 Climax
I have just finished day five of the tournament and am loving this as much as anything I've seen in pro wrestling in the last decade. I've been one of the biggest defenders of ROH on this forum since the Cornette era, but after just five days of this 19 day tournament, I've already decided I'm givin...

Re: ROH: A Catharsis by Big Red Machine
I enjoy the weekly TV show. The matches are almost always good (the last TV match I can remember hating was a Kingdom v. Karl Anderson/Doc Gallows abomination from several years back). I got every VOD in 2016 and the through April in 2017. I've gotten every PPV/iPPV since Death Before Dishonor in 20...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
Can somebody provide actual evidence that it is ROH keeping these guys from working for 90 days? Because everything I've read seems clear that it is the WWE DECIDING not to have anyting to do with them until 90 days after. The only way ROH could do anything like that is if there is that no compete c...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
What would you all have them do? Regarding the Kyle contract situation, what should ROH do? Just let people not honor the contract they have signed so they can leave and go somewhere else? Yes, because that happens all the time. I've lost count of the amount of times WWE just lets guys negotiate wit...

Re: The NJPW Thread
Shibata is now my favorite wrestler. That much might be the greatest I've ever seen (and yes I did see the Wrestle Kingdom main event). I'm okay with the headbutt simply because I think it worked well in the match. It was just one. It did add a bit to me. I have far more trouble with the multiple he...

Re: PW Sheet: WWE/SBG talks to sell ROH (Meltzer confirms)
I'm pretty sure WWE Network does have the entire ECW library. If not, pretty damn close. Hell, there are 73 shows on there from when it was Eastern Championship Wrestling. All the ECW syndicated, all the TNN shows, and every PPV. If what they have there is not enough, you are just looking for an exc...

Re: PW Sheet: WWE/SBG talks to sell ROH (Meltzer confirms)
Let me start by saying I want ROH to remain independent and not be bought by WWE. With that said, I'm reading a lot of dislike of WWE. I've been a pro wrestling fan since 1983, with a few years off in the early 2000's and such. This is the best product I've seen WWE put out in a very, very long time...

Re: This is what ROH should do...
Thinking about what ROH should do in 2017 led me to do a bit of fantasy booking with the whole company. 1. TV/PPV--TV absolutely needs to be more than just a few good matches in 60 minutes. At times they have used it to build up PPV events, or feuds. But not on a consistent basis. Needs to be a stro...

Re: New commentary speculation thread
Not the way I would go, but would it be that hard to get Jim Ross in? You have a known quantity. He's excellent at PBP, and has that nostalgia feel for the older ROH audience. It would give ROH a little bit more legitimacy to many out there. JUst have him call the TV and PPV with Whitmer, and have R...

Re: What ROH can do to keep their talents?
It really shouldn't be a huge problem right now. I say it shouldn't, but it clearly is. Look, ROH have lost a lot of talent in the last four months. But to remain positive, that means they should have a lot of money to entice new talent with. Money they were already spending, so it shouldn't effect ...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
This is turning into a catastrophy. You've got many of your top, new, younger talent leaving for your biggest independent rival, Evolve. It also seems like reDRagon will be there in the near future based on O'Reilly's comment that he would like to work Evolve, and that fans of ReDRagon will have som...

Re: Which NJPW star would you want as ROH World Champion?
I don't like Shibata. He makes Chris Benoit look like he had charisma. I think that is his charisma though. He's not flashy. He's not showy. He comes out, in all black, walks to the ring. Rarely changes facials, and kicks ass. I like that persona on him. In that way he is like Miroshima. Miroshima ...

Re: The NJPW Thread
I'm not good at "star ratings" for matches or anything like that. I'm up to the intermission on today's show. Matches are all solid. The action in the ring keeps my interest and doesn't insult my intelligence. The wrestlers are very good at working the match. My favorite so far is the ten ...
