A RHETT TITUS PROMO EMERGES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzPIe5mm6tU

Honestly, babyface lower card, low-stakes, non-libidinal Rhett Titus is probaly the best direction they can go with him.

Looks like he'll debut a new persona tomorrow at the TV Tapings. Cool!

Colt Cabana is advertised for the Edinburgh show of the UK tour, but nowhere else. If the commentary team is primarily Ian and Cabana going forward, I'm happy. Whitmer can fill in where need be.

Rhett Titus is awful. When can ROH pull the cord with him?

Shane Taylor beating the piss out of the young guys seems to be the way they are going with him. I think this is a good way to utilize him actually. I was initially skeptical when he attacked Josh Woods, but after he jumped Mikey Webb, it made more sense.

Taylor has lost some weight and he you can't deny he gives his all in the ring. He might turn out to be a decent mid-card guy in the long run.

He'll be just on the Edinburgh show. He's in Scotland during august bc he'll be at some type of festival for comedians.

On the Other hand, Ian will be on London and Liverpool too.

I wouldn't hate it in a vacuum, but we saw the exact same thing go nowhere with a much better wrestler in Dijak, plus we've had Martinez do just about nothing for an entire year at this point (plus all of the other angles that spent months and months treading water that didn't involve big guys), so I'm not optimistic that anything worthwhile will actually come of it.

Meh. Based on the ending of that promo Rhett Titus is unsalvageable. He desperately needs a change of scenery.

They made a small change to the roster page. Looks better.

I can't imagine that there isn't someone out there with merch that looks worse. As for them being the best team in wrestling... I really hate to admit it at this point, but I'll agree.

I hope Cody vs. Trent for the title happens at one point. Maybe over in Japan or on a lower tier ROH Show

I think this would make for an excellent house show match. Trent is one of the best babyfaces out there right now. ROH really needs to sign him and Chuck Taylor like... yesterday. Best Friends always make my TV a little brighter.

Agreed.

I want to see Trent in ROH and NJPW for years to come. Chuck too.

Briscoes are going to wXw's World Tag League this October. Plus, they're going on August to WCPW. First time the Briscoes have been in Europe, not for a ROH show, since 2011. Cool to see if this means they're going to take more bookings or maybe they'll be freelancers, idk.

At this point in their careers this a great move by The Briscoes. Who knows how much longer they want to keep doing this. The chicken farm is guaranteed income down the road regardless of wrestling. If this gives them more financial security in the future I am all for it.

The Briscoes are allowed to take international bookings. Also there is no indication that their contracts are coming up, in fact I believe their contracts don't come up until next summer.
