Re: Christopher Daniels-ROH World Champion. Why not?
Brada, I like your confidence in your thinking...but keep in mind that the same people who called the Cole dome win have said all along that Daniels is winning the title from Cole. Given how the tournament shaping up, I don't see anything to think that's not happening. If they were going with Lethal...

Re: How the hell do you book Jay Lethal for the next 2 years
TNA would absolutely have wanted Lethal if he'd have been willing to go. Bob Ryder was on TNA Mecca last year publicly saying they'd like to sign him. Lethal is an interestingly polarizing talent. I get it...I was really bored by him until his heel turn and he became one of my favorites. He's absolu...

Re: How the hell do you book Jay Lethal for the next 2 years
If I were Delirious I'd bring back Truth and either have him manage a new HOT hell-bent on destroying Lethal for abandoning him...or rebuild Lethal for another title run in about a year and have Truth return to help him & turn him heel again. I know people weren't high on his title reign, but hi...

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
They still have several weeks to tape over the next few days. Good chance a bunch of title changes happen before the end of the tapings.

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
The thing that nobody is talking about now with FloSlam is whether it's a viable business. Either they're spending very little for their content, which doesn't help the promotions significantly...or they're on borrowed time waiting for their capital to run dry while they lose operating dollars. Bott...

Re: Kyle O'Reilly not signed
All I'm saying is without knowing his personal situation...which I've only seen vaguely referred to in the PWTorch story...I see nothing to indicate that he won't be on the show. Obviously if it's something like dealing with a parent's death like Fish, we'll then of course he might not make it. Not ...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
In reality, the intent of the contracts haven't changed at all...the Flo participating indies' distribution has. They've entered the live paid streaming business. It's no different from talent appearing on an iPPV, which hasn't been allowed for years and years. ROH pays their talent for some degree ...

Re: Colt Cabana Podcast
I thought the Truth Martini episode was really memorable. He tells a GREAT story about the Global Wars in 2015 and trying to get into Canada for the Toronto shows.

Re: Kyle O'Reilly not signed
My guess is the Atlanta booking was a favor for following through and giving him the title win before he left. Unless he's extremely bitter, I don't see why he wouldn't be willing to show up to one last show to be written off TV. That said, why would he be compelled to go out of his way to promote i...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
This level of guy is where Gabe is going to beat ROH every time. Lee isn't a star yet, but it's pretty obvious he's GOING to be one. Since ROH has to worry about outbidding people for their top guys, there's only so much they're going to be willing to pay a guy like Lee. Evolve isn't going to get in...

Re: Dumbest Booking Decisions in wrestling history
Considering that since ROH jumped in the PPV pool that the majority of their title changes have happened on PPV shows, that dumb ass call was definitely a 6 figure mistake. What?! You're contradicting yourself. If the decision to do the quick change was dumb (which I agree it was) you don't want to...

Re: Dumbest Booking Decisions in wrestling history
Cole/O'Reilly isn't even close to one of the dumbest decisions even ROH has made, much less the history of wrestling. If you include TNA, I don't have the energy to type all of the dumb things they've done. Speaking of departing champions, them booking AJ's contract despute as an angle while he had ...

Like I felt about Moose and Bennett, I would put Rowe and Hanson in a category of guys who I'd offer a deal to...but absolutely not overspend for. War Machine had a nice run to the tag titles...then never really got to the next level with the belts. Their feuds with the Briscoes & PB Killers wer...

Re: Kyle O'Reilly not signed
People are doing the TNAMecca thing of spinning every loss as no big loss then. I think the point was that Elgin wasn't an ROH talent to begin with last year. The "loss" on him was the prior year. I don't think anyone's spinning O'Reilly as no big loss. But consider the context. If at the...

Re: Kyle O'Reilly not signed
The 5 appearances thing is actually misleading, too, as 3 of those were on the first tour of the year prior to his first NJPW tour of the year following the Dome show. After that, he made just 2 appearances in ROH outside of the joint shows the whole rest of the year. It sounds like Elgin was frustr...

Re: Kyle O'Reilly not signed
To me the biggest crime would be if a World Title run would've given O'Reilly incentive to stay...or if he is viewing this (as is likely) as one of the reasons to leave. Pretty tough to believe that booking was a reason he'd leave when they just put the title on him...but now it's pretty hard to arg...

Re: Kyle O'Reilly not signed
Ryan Satin is reporting that Kyle turned down an offer from ROH a few days ago and is going to evaluate all of his options. rovert & George Carroll of all people clarified that ROH is still in play, so "turned down" might be the wrong wording, he just hasn't agreed to the deal and hasn...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD
In any event, I hope all is okay for him. FIsh re-signing is the single best sign for ROH being able to possibly re-sign him. I mean, unless those two had some kind of falling out, I'd think that Kyle wouldn't want to completely abandon reDRagon as an act. To me, Kyle's best path for eventual WWE su...
