Re: The WWE Thread

They're all fighting for a slice of the same shrinking pie. Having two more TV shows doesn't expand anything, it divides the audience even more.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

ROH’s roster is so small. Does every guy need a title? Lol. There’s already titles, there is absolutely no need for more titles. Put the titles on better people and create a realistic hierarchy instead. No, that's definitely what ROH needs right now : MOAR TITLES!!! Also when you say huge names and...

Re: Weekly ROH TV Thread (on Sinclair Networks)

BUT IT'S CUTTING EDGE (or something)!!!

I legitimately don't understand this "new" format. Isn't that just the old "Road Rage" system with a few clipped matches with the idea of "BUY THE VOD/WATCH THE FULL VERSION ON HONOR CLUB"?

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

According to CageMatch, there was thirteen shows (four of those from WWE) from the 7th to the 13th in Toronto, that's hardly saturation. Looking at those thought, it's not difficult to see why they did abysmal numbers : OWE had two cards with AEW midcarders, wXw's Ambition isn't even that big of a d...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

https://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2019/08/07/please-take-our-market-share-the-ballad-of-ring-of-honor/ Really good article about ROH It's crazy how telling your fans endlessly that their stars are fifth-rate garbage compared to the NJPW/BC/Elite ones will end up with the conclusion that "yeah,...

Nah, they have that thing called "ambition", so they must be in a dead faction feuding over nothing.

Re: What If - Enzo / Cass

Is this all there is to being a champion?¨¨ Well, kinda yes. If you ask a promoter who would he choose between a champion who can have 5* matches consistantly and sell 500 tickets and one who can only have 4* matches but sell 1k tickets, he'll take the second one. To be fair, I would put Cody in th...

Re: What If - Enzo / Cass

The house numbers have been down all year post Elite and record setting years, and started going down when Jay Lethal was champ. I assume he's horrific too. *whistles* *caughs endlessly* It's almost like shit like this proves the point I was making five years ago, but people called me crazy/racist/...

Re: What If - Enzo / Cass

Just because he's not a "cool", pandering heel doesn't automatically make him a good heel. People don't look at Taven and go "man, can't wait to see this twerp get his receipt", but more "oh, this dweeb is world champion now? time to change the channel *click*". Yes, he...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

Saying Jay Lethal isn’t special is just ridiculous, he is one of the most consistent wrestlers still going today. He generally is able to get emotion out of any match and is more than a match for anyone in the world regardless of the desire from other people. Taven is more than showing he is better...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

I don't really agree that it is same as always. I remember reading reports that Cobb signed with RoH in the first place because he wanted NJPW bookings. Back in the day nobody thought that signing with RoH might result in WWE or TNA contract. Just like people are working EVOLVE because of the WWE t...

Re: ALL PURPOSE CONTRACT STATUS/POTENTIAL DEPARTURES THREAD

I;m sure this isn't going to be everyones reaction but if they only want to be in ROH for the New Japan connection, I am ok for them to leave, I want people who are commited and wanting to make ROH grow and get better. I've said it over and over, but those things aren't mutually exclusive. ROH isn'...

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

So what's this Taven fan group there? Because from what I just read here, this sounds like a bunch of regular plants or the saddest group of posers in the world.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread

I said it in passing somewhere else before, but Shelley is pretty much a has-been/never-was at this point, especially as a main event talent. I remember shrugging when he came back the first time as a full-time wrestler in 2016, and now we're three years later and the guy has done nothing noteworthy...

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

Page should have beaten this guy in 8-10 minutes at best, because Sabian so far is a nobody who came out to dead silence. Page going so long with this guy didn't elevate Sabian at all, but brought Page down to his level.

Re: All Elite Wrestling Thread

The issue with BTE is the same I have with the presentation of the shows so far : they're catering to a very specific niche and not much else. They bring all those indy/international names and they're acting like I should know all those people already, except I don't for the most part because I pret...
