Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I’m hearing that some talented wrestlers who were recently released from another organization could be appearing at Death Before Dishonor. From roh website So most likely some combination of: Bobby Fish, Jake Atlas, Alex Zayne, Mercdes Martinez, Tyler Rust Maybe; Curt Stallation, Leon Ruff, Anthony...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

It just doesn't get lower than PCO as world champion. I think the biggest failures of the years before that were relying too much on Bullet Club and being too late to pull the trigger on guys. I think Dalton Castle and Matt Taven both had their world title runs about nine months too late. Both guys...

So Woods vs. Gresham, then. Sounds good to me.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

ROH is still very, very far from perfect but in my view they're the only reasonably competent promotion putting out English language content every week. And the product is the best it has been in the television era of the company in my book. Orders of magnitude better than 2019. I would have said t...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

Let's get to the real issue here, are Big Red Machine show reviews coming back? Sometimes I loved them, sometimes I hated them but I always read them. Yeah. I'm not going to go post stuff in old threads, but starting with Glory By Honor I will resume posting them here. For anything between then and...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I'm only up to the main event of the 7/23 TV, and I am baffled that this show is being booked by the same person who booked ROH in the 2nd half of 2010 and 2011. I am exactly the kind of fan that all of this stuff with the Pure division and structure and attempted "real-sports" atmosphere...

Re: What era should be recognized as ROH's greatest? (read thread before voting)

For me: 1.) Reborn 2.) Taped PPV 3.) The Elite 4.) AJ Styles 5.) HDNet 6.) Early Years 7.) Smoky Mountain 8.) Current Not to bury the current era because to me, even the "worst" ROH has been mostly passable, but for me the crowds post MSG and the no crowds post COVID have taken away from ...

Re: What era should be recognized as ROH's greatest? (read thread before voting)

1. Reborn Era 2. HDnet Era and Taped PPV Era (gun to my head, the HDnet Era edges it out just a bit simply by being longer). It gets a little harder from here, as I find the way you chopped it up a little arbitrary, and definitely would have changed some things, but using the breakdowns you provided...

Okay. F*ck it. Between this and the Pure tournament (and hopefully Nagata!) I'm going to this show, work night or not.

ROH Bound By Honor 2020 (2/28/2020)- Nashville, TN MARTY SCURLL vs. SLEX vs. BANDIDO- 6.75/10 Bandido was introduced as “representing MexiSquad.” So is he not a member of LifeBlood anymore?

I will also back up the recommendation of that show. "Under the radar" is definitely a fitting description for a show that good which doesn't get talked about.

Re: 2011 - 2016 Recommendations

Keep in mind that BITW 2011 is the true end of an era. It’s not just historic in booking and for talent departures and reintroduction, it’s not just the last event before Cornette got the book, but it’s also the day before Punk broke down the first barrier for WWE finally viewing the indies as a ta...

Re: 2011 - 2016 Recommendations

Highly recommend the tv episode (from 8/23/2014 I think?) headlined by ACH vs Jay Lethal. One of the best ROH tv matches ever, tbh. That's the date I have for it, too, but dates for Sinclair Era TV might vary from reviewer to reviewer based on when their local TV station aired it. The fact that I h...

Re: 18th Anniversary Official Thread

I have to say that I think they've done a great job with the Past vs. Present card. Very few (if any) names that made be go "uch! Really? That guy in 2020?" and a lot of match-ups that made me nod my head and say "yeah, that makes sense. That could work."
