Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
Supercard of Honor is just another Live Event now.
They won't go somewhere too big and i don't think NXT would be a problem, like this year where the show was sold out way before the NXT Live Event was announced. IMO they can stay on Friday evening.

Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
It quickly sold out because people weren't expecting the NXT show. This year they will be. Moving forward, people will wait and not buy their ROH tickets until they see when the NXT show will be. NXT will run bigger venues than ROH in order to suck as many fans away from ROH as possible. For this reason, ROH should plan to run on Saturday afternoon.AssShooter wrote:Supercard of Honor is just another Live Event now.

Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
If NXT want to hurt ROH it doesn´t matter when they do the show because NXT can announce it after them so they should focus on put the best show possible so fans are torn on wich show attend.
Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
That's actually an argument to put the show opposite the HOF. They won't plan an NXT event during the HOF and I would rather compete with an awards show than NXT.187_Joeism wrote:If NXT want to hurt ROH it doesn´t matter when they do the show because NXT can announce it after them so they should focus on put the best show possible so fans are torn on wich show attend.

It's unlikely that NXT will run Saturday afternoon with the HOF that night. That's why it's the safest bet for ROH.WHG wrote:That's actually an argument to put the show opposite the HOF.

"Best show possible" is a nice idea but that's not how it works in wrestling. Weaker NXT show will still way outdraw stronger ROH show because of brand awareness and marketing power.
Look at what's going on with these Brooklyn shows, even here on this board full of hardcore ROH fans. People with tickets to a loaded ROH show with New Japan stars are regretting that they don't instead have tickets to an NXT show with no matches announced.

it's safe to run against the HOF, which gets more watered down every year. if they were to run against NXT, and honor tickets for the NXT show, that could be successful.

Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
I would say run Saturday night opposite the HOF ceremony.
Surely there are 1000 fans in town that night who would rather watch a great wrestling show than 4 hours of talking.

FANTASTIC~!
Hope the image is just a placeholder since there are no special attraction talents on it.

We have nearly a year until the event.
Of course the poster is a placeholder.

Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
Yeah, I doubt Lethal will still be holding the World TV Title by next April. Still a cool poster though!
I think this confirms that, despite having Samoa Joe & Jushin "Thunder" Liger in key matches, ROH really didn't put much effort into their 'Mania Weekend Show (probably because they were coming off of a West Coast PPV a few weeks earlier. Plus their were rumors initially of not even running in San Jose).

Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
The company did a lackluster job in hyping it up. ALL three of the main events should've been pimped hard.
Jacobs vs. Whitmer
Show promo videos clearly stating this is the farewell for Jacobs and what this match means to both. Have Jacobs cut a promo clearly stating this is it and he wants to go out with the victory over his greatest partner and foe. Toss up their Dragon Gate Challenge or Supercard of Honor II classic on YouTube since both matches were referenced.
Lethal vs. Liger
Show promo videos of the who's who that Lethal had gone over for a year. Air a video package with Liger hightlights of his previous 5 matches in ROH. Toss another Liger match on YouTube.
Briscoe vs. Joe
Like Lethal, show promo videos of BOTH men's destruction during their peaks in the company. Hammer it home that Joe came back to the company for one reason, to be the champion and win the belt that he made matter. Hammer it home that Briscoe NEEDS this win because it'll solidify his reign to go over the man he made the belt so important a decade earlier, and also because Briscoe had never beaten him. Throw one of their two classic singles matches on YouTube, either one would work although the cage would be better.

Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
That's a lot of production time and resources to spend hyping a house show that was not available on iPPV and that completely sold out live without any of that. From a business standpoint, hard to justify.supersonic wrote:The company did a lackluster job in hyping it up. ALL three of the main events should've been pimped hard.

It's good they are doing shows on two days being that potenitally 100,000 wrestling fans will be in the area that weekend.
Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
Important to note the venue is the Wrestlecon hotel. They're making it a lot easier for people to want to attend than prior years. Certainly doesn't seem like they're backing away from NXT conflicts, but in a way adding the Saturday afternoon show back in to the mix hedges that.

Also, the hotel is apparently right next to Dealey Plaza.
Re: What day should Supercard of Honor X be booked?
I stayed there about 10 years ago my first time in Dallas and wasn't aware of that and still remember walking into my room, randomly looking out my window and...holy shit...there's a birds-eye view of the Kennedy Assassination site. It was actually pretty chilling.DXvsNWO1994 wrote:Also, the hotel is apparently right next to Dealey Plaza.
