Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

In deference to everyone, no one is talking about ROH after this past weekend. While you may not like the appended act to Cole and O'Reilly, it's a much better thing to have this story with a clear throughline rather than Lethal's whiling away for months and months and months. Earlier, I forgot to m...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Rush, White, Kamaitachi, and Scurll is a great little class that they’ve recruited. With Lethal’s stalled reign over, so much of ROH feels enlivened (at least as of right this moment).

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD

Former employers using sensational language to influence an employee they wish to retain or to make hay of their loss? And in wrestling, no less? Sounds all like beans. Maybe he’s missing a great opportunity to be signed by the WWE in the next few months, but that’s never a great bet. His value prob...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

At least that column was not diegetically written by Kelly this time. Even though they are still baybayfacing the Bullet Club, most of those points are worth the mention; it helps people forget that this angle is altogether pretty slapdash.

Re: Death Before Dishonor XIV Pick 'Ems

I tend to pick nits, so I might have scored out of 16 points especially since every player chose Klein. But it’s more work to do it that way, which would achieve a result that nets zero difference. No one will be at loggerheads if you count it.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z0P-XkNzho It's probably safe to assume that Kevin Kelly has been responsible for all the video updates we've been receiving. They make a difference and they're definitely a step in the right direction. I don't mind Kevin being the predominant host, but shooting in ...

Re: ROH is returning to England

I just find it hard to take his character as seriously as he seems to. The mask, the coat, the hat, the umbrella, the verbiage, the video splicing (occasionally in black and white) - all without a trace of irony. It's like he grabbed every 1989 neo-Victorian steampunk cliche and is doing them all a...

Re: ROH is returning to England

While I’m not behind Scurll the same way some people seem to get really behind him, I think he still is a pretty good worker and is charismatic. It’s interesting to see new talent in ROH that the audience might be familiar with and are not from NJPW or TNA. I’m sure I can tolerate his goofy Baz-Luhr...

Re: Death Before Dishonor XIV Pick 'Ems

Maybe it's better to just ix-nay the Klein/Sakai match and to score out of a set of 16 points rather than 18.

Re: Official Death Before Dishonor XIV Weekend Thread

It's gotta be Page though, right? Gotta be someone in the BC. Unless they bring in Yujiro again. Or if Fale makes his debut. That'd be really cool to see O'Reilly beat him. That's what I was thinking. It advances Kyle's narrative and it's also another step up for Page--and I really doubt there is a...

Re: Official Death Before Dishonor XIV TV Tapings Thread

It's not about a prosaic general NJPW vs. ROH feud, we already see those every May. It's about New Japan wrestlers having good stories and feuds with ROH wrestlers. Hopefully Naito and Lethal is the start of a trend.

Re: Official Death Before Dishonor XIV Weekend Thread

I would book Kamaitachi vs O’Reilly or Dragon Lee vs O’Reilly, they gave O’Reilly the big wins already and he is facing Shibata next week, they just need to give him something to do in that PPV. O’Reilly and Kamaitachi already opened the curtains at Best in the World. O’Reilly has had one significa...

Re: Official Death Before Dishonor XIV Weekend Thread

What’s the best match for O’Reilly at ASE? I would have said that a win over Jay Briscoe would have been the right move, but Page just got received Jay’s favors. Would O’Reilly vs. Page be the right match for the PPV? Both have momentum and the match would have heat. Even in loss, Page would have hi...
