Wait is that real? I looked that up and couldn’t find anything about roh coming to terminal 5 ( other then older articles)hope it is true. I know impact is running there Sunday 4-19 for Rebellion so that is interesting if true.
100% true per a friend close to the subject matter. Who has already gone on social media with the date.

I hope we get a very clear definition of what Pure rules means in 2020.

My hopes:
-Title changes hands on any win including DQ and countout
-Mandatory code of honor
-No ref bumps
-Limited number of rope breaks and violation warnings (closed fists, etc)

Emphasize the Honor in Ring of Honor.

Totally agree. I have high hopes for this. I loved the Pure title and equally Nigel's run with it, which for me is the measuring stick to anyone that holds it.

Wow that’s amazing what a week that’s going to be for wrestling fans with impact on Sunday at terminal 5 and then roh Thursday at terminal 5. I’m from nyc so hopefully I can go out to both 🙏.

You post with no purpose. Great they’re getting better reviews, provide some examples from people with credibility. I’m so glad unblocked him to see this post. Never give up.

I've felt like the overall production of the tv show has improved. The content is not that great, because it's just stuff from Honor Club shows that ROH fans will have already seen. BUT they've been adding segments, like a guy a few weeks back doing a "Best ROH Tag Teams in history" piece. It had lots of old footage and just seemed like a cool addition to the show.

It would be nice to have the exclusive TV matches on there. But from how the Vegas shows are set up, it seems like what used to be tv tapings are now going to be themed shows (like Past vs Present). Honestly, though, this is good because I'd rather the actual shows get better before the tv show gets better.

I like that they have been using some of the videos from social media that help add detail to the stories they are trying to tell. It's a small thing but help flesh concepts out.

You hit on the biggest problem. They have painted with broad strokes for far too long. Flesh out concepts and characters, give us the why instead of the what.

I want a Tama Tonga TV Title run.

I think Tama is a truly unique performer in this business and that's something that deserves to be recognized. I don't believe he'll ever get a singles title run in NJPW, so maybe the TV Title is perfect for him. Between ROH/CMLL/NJPW Tama has won 9 tag belts, 4 trios belts, and 0 singles belts. I think this does him a disservice because I believe he's far better than his frequent partners (Tanga Loa, El Terrible, Rey Bucanero, Bad Luck Fale).

Tama has a way of moving and behaving in the ring that is uniquely his. He doesn't wrestle like Jay Briscoe at all, but he reminds me of Jay in that his wrestling style perfectly reflects the kind of character he portrays. When you see Jay Briscoe cut a promo and imagine how he might fight, what he actually does in the ring comes pretty close. I feel the same way when I think about Tama as a character and Tama as a wrestler.

Tama utilizes constant misdirection, trickery, and counter wrestling when things are going his way in matches, but when things break down he becomes a violent sociopath. Which reflects his often arrogant, comedic character who can sometimes snap and reveal darker machinations when someone cuts through the pretense.

I'd certainly LIKE to see this, BUT... it would kinda go back to giving NJPW the spotlight, when ROH is right in the middle of re-establishing itself. Right now, I think Dragon Lee and even Dak Draper would both have really nice reigns. Your going to have guys like Slex, and Brooks, who will need a impactful push upon debuting. People like Joe Hendry/Josh Woods could use the rub too. Either way, i'd like to see it... i just don't think 2020 would be the best time. 2019 would have been perfect, ESPECIALLY if you weren't planning to resign Shane Taylor.
