Actually, in regards to Moose, I find it really interesting that Meltzer mentioned on a recent podcast (where he & Alvarez reviewed Supercard of Honor IX) that somebody is doing something wrong (something to that degree) if Moose isn't a big star (somewhere) three years down the line.

I know, he did say that. I'm just not seeing in Moose what other people are seeing I guess.

What sets him apart in ROH is his bigness. That will mean nothing in WWE where there will be 10-12 bigger guys on the roster. What else does he have? He can do a high dropkick.

He's budget Uhaa Nation without any kind of charisma.

I think he's still way too early in his development to decide if he'll ever be a star, but I'm yet to really see anything special from him yet.

I doubt you're old enough to remember reel to reel projection. When those suckers ripped in the middle of what you were watching, it was a huge pain in the posterior to try to get back into it once the film was taped together and working. ROH's iPPV excursions are like an updated version of that. More hassle and frustration than worth doing because they don't work right.

I don't think ROH need to get iPPV for their big shows, but if they could get next day VOD that was announced it would be as so beforehand it'd be a hell of a lot better than what we have now.

Maybe they can get the Philadelphia Shows out there really quickly since those shows are in the middle of the week.

I understand why ROH doesn't want there iPPVs to be live due to all the problems they have had; that being said they NEED to get these shows up by the next morning. People want to see them and will pay money to see them as soon as possible and unspoiled. If it gets to be like 3-4 days fans are going to get spoiled and not care about seeing it ASAP and they'll just wait a few extra days until they can find it online somewhere else for free.

Hoping they start off with one of the top names tomorrow to get the hype train moving!

Absolutely agree with you guys! These shows need to be available the very next day! It's unacceptable that SCOH was almost a week ago and it's still not up. I certainly am not really eager to buy the show now, I rather wait for the DVD, since it's absolutely impossible to stay spoiler free for such a long time.

Exactly. You promote the hell out of Samoa Joe coming back and...still no show. What's worse is that word of mouth says that this is a fairly entertaining show. SBG better get their collective heads out of their asses and figure out a quicker turnaround for these shows if they want interest level to stay high.
