I need commentary. I just lose interest listening to japanese. Just not as entertaining to me.What's there to really understand? It's a sport over there. Talented workers facing talented workers in quality matches. There aren't any storylines to speak of, so I', confused why you don't know what's going on.
I was referring to them blurring their own logo from the Saturday show in fear of children seeing it, not the WWF. Give examples of the People's Elbow wannabees - John Cena's five knuckle shuffle. Kofi Kingston's boom leg drop. I believe Sandow has something but I watch little WWE these days.I'm confused by this. Give me examples of your point, of a worker hitting a "People's Elbow like move" and the opponent stalling for five minutes. Oh, and apparently dancing goes on during all of this. They can't show the old WWF logo due to a trademark dispute with the World Wildlife Foundation, so your point is out the window there. The head/neck aspect is only for their Saturday morning show, and even then that's hardly the case if you actually watch the matches. So I'm confused on what you seem to be comparing.
Matt Hardy is there to put over Adam Cole, not pushed as the top guy in the company, big difference. I presume you meant Matt in the last sentence, but I'm not saying ROH is right for bringing him in. If Jeff Hardy was putting Kaz over at the mid-card level I wouldn't have issue.Yet Matt Hardy being in ROH isn't a problem? At least Jeff is still over and can produce good matches when he's motivated. Matt is a bland, vanilla worker who doesn't distinguish himself in any way, not to mention the guy is a total nut in real life. So you're faulting TNA for doing something your beloved ROH is doing? (Didn't Jeff also also show up "drugged out of his mind" in 2009 or 2010?)
They weren't giving a guy who wasn't under contract a world title push on the biggest show of the year, basically building the company around a guy who could bolt at any second.Pushing Jeff Hardy hoping he'll resign a contract? Sounds extremely similar to what ROH did with Kenny King earlier this summer. So again I ask: Why are you faulting TNA for things ROH has recently done/is doing?
We have no idea what kind of budget ROH is actually working off of. They could be blowing it, or they could be doing the best they can with the resources available. We don't know.Actually, it does. Sinclair owns the company, thus if Sinclair has the money it's not illogical to assume they should be putting more money into ROH's production.
Believe me, I'm pretty well aware of how both the IT function and accounting function works. Point is, I asked for a certain % off instead of a free dvd or refund. Somebody had to clear it first, and then go into their system and set the discount code up. It's not as simple as an automated program reading my name off of my email and knowing which discount % I wanted. It was a customization. A small customization, but one nevertheless.You are aware that's automated based upon a list a computer system reads, correct?
Guys like the Headbangers, Hardy, Marshall may only be there for a breif run. I have no problem with that. I like mixing up the roster. Bringing in guys from outside to put over established wrestlers. It doesn' tbother me.The Headbangers, Matt Hardy, WGTT, QT Marshall.... They are choosing to invest money (They apparently don't have in your eyes) on subpar talent that isn't enticing fans. So I disagree with "they are doing the best with what they have". If they listened a quarter as much as what you are claiming, they would realize most fans simply don't care about WGTT right now, or that QT Marshall isn't accepted, or that nobody in the world was waiting to see if The Headbangers would emerge in ROH. I should point out as well many have brought up several names that they would love to see in ROH (SSB, for starters) and ROH refuses to listen, choosing instead talentless hacks like QT Marshall or WWE/TNA rejected midcarders who have "name value".
