Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
ROH's website has improved a lot. They even have weekly reports for the TV show. Great work with that, almost everyday they update the site (as they should have done way before).
Funny thing is that the Code of Honor now is just shaking hands before and after matches if you want. Bc, you know, it would make sense to put you cannot attack officials or have interferences when Delirious booker these type of things in every match.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Brutal Bob should seriously be the color commentator.
Colt Cabana is fantastic but I, like many of you, would rather see Colt in the ring. And then we wouldn't get a jarring, rotating cast of replacements every time Colt wrestles for ROH or takes an indie booking.
Whitmer has been bad on commentary
Scurll was pretty bad this week.
Brutal Bob is knowledgeable, he's well spoken, it's not like he's going to be busy and miss dates, etc.

Ian, Colt and Bob are fun as a 3 man team during the top prospect tournament matches. Why not make the 3 man team of Ian, Bob and Colt permanent?

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
I'm really looking forward to see this match. I think Gordon's style will mesh nicely with the guys in this match and the crowd will appreciate what he's able to do.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
I hate the three man team as a regular thing. It works when you're selling a specific angle or using one to translate from another language but otherwise give me the two man booth all day.
And, again, I'd rather have Colt Cabana in the ring.
Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
I enjoy a 3 man booth I think they can work when you have the right people.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
All of this. A three man booth is just too much talking going on, and there are rarely three announcers' worth of points to be made about any given angle.famicommander wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 8:16 amI hate the three man team as a regular thing.

This week's Throwback Thursday is a hidden gem!

I've read some completionists (Big Red Machine and McXal) saying that, despite this sow beign one of the worst they've ever produced, this match is really worth your time.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Actually what I said was that a lot of people think it is one of the worst, but I, personally, don't. It's definitely not one of ROH''s best (or even in the top half) but both this match and the main event (AOTF vs. Go & Marufuji), and there are some moments on the show that are either important to the storylines at the time (particularly with Rhett, Daizee, and Delirious), or nice ways to wrap up storylines of the past (like Aries and Shelley finally burying the hatchet).AlexROH wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2017 12:13 am This week's Throwback Thursday is a hidden gem!

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Considering tonight's sad news, Strong & Evans w/ Cornette vs Cabana & Jacobs w/ Bobby would be a good choice for a Throwback Thursday.

For The Briscoes fans: wXw announced the blocks for the Tag League. Mark & Jay will face 3 greats teams in what would be a hell of a weekend for them:AlexROH wrote: ↑Sat Aug 05, 2017 10:00 am 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.
- The Rottweilers (Low Ki & Homicide)
- RIngkampf (WALTER & Timothy Thatcher)
- EYFB (current GFW/Impact Wrestling tags champions).
The Briscoes had been so regular in ROH that I stopped thinking about dream matches for them.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Wow, those all sound damn good. Jay and WALTER pulverizing each other sounds like a delight.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
Could be that ROH and wXw are going to start working together. They're the only NJPW partner that ROH doesn't work with (the others being CMLL and RevPro)
Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
NJPW hardly ever uses his partnership with wXw. The Briscoes thing is just an external book. I mean, they are free to accept booking outside Europe, that's why they worked with WCPW, RPW and wXw this year.famicommander wrote: ↑Mon Sep 18, 2017 9:36 am Could be that ROH and wXw are going to start working together.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
It may have been a double pin in a 2/3 falls six man tag team match, but Flip Gordon still scored the deciding pinfall against Ultimo Guerrero at the CMLL 84th Anniversary Show.
That's a pretty big feather in the cap for a guy who made his pro debut in March 2015.

If Ashley Remington isn't one of the participants in the Sea of Honor Tournament then they are dumb as fuck.

Re: Random ROH Thoughts Thread
This seems like something that should be bigger news, as it will probably make WWE rather unhappy with Jericho.AlexROH wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2017 8:54 am Chris Jericho will host a cruise trip with live music, podcasts and wrestling!
