Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
I feel... disappointed by the Jacobs news. Yes, it's a boon for him creatively and I'm happy that he's getting that money, but... Jacobs was the person that got me into ROH in the first place. I was hoping that he would come home, and now he's going to a company that... I just don't ever trust to do well anymore. I hope he is able to change things over there.

I wouldn't get too upset about it. If Impact makes it to next Bound for Glory I'll be pretty shocked at the rate they're going.
I mean, I feel like that every year but this is definitely the worst BFG ever.

I thought 2014's BFG from Korakuen Hall was much, much more pointless and probably worse.famicommander wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 8:23 pm I wouldn't get too upset about it. If Impact makes it to next Bound for Glory I'll be pretty shocked at the rate they're going.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
I’ve asked if Jacobs is avoiding another ROH match like McGuinness did. Both bowed out perfectly.

As hard as it was to watch at some points last night, The BFG from Japan was still worse. I think that was the first BFG I bought too.SandsShifter wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 8:26 pmI thought 2014's BFG from Korakuen Hall was much, much more pointless and probably worse.famicommander wrote: ↑Sun Nov 05, 2017 8:23 pm I wouldn't get too upset about it.

TNA as a whole is pointless.

Fuck off. TNA’s sole purpose in the business is to be a cancerous, financially draining laughingstock that embodies WCW 1999-2000.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
Impact is like that piece of dog shit you step in and can't get off the bottom of your shoe. No matter how hard you try, it's wedged in there and can't be moved, but eventually, it will be dry up, become crusty and eventually turn to dust.
If I were Ed Nordholm right now, I'd be a very sorry man for buying into this crap.
Joe Koff might be able to give him some pointers.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
Joe Koff may come off as an idiot in interviews but he's actually running a successful wrestling promotion on a national scale right now. He's the only person in the US not named Vince McMahon to be doing that. You could have Jeff Jarrett, Ed Nordholm, Dorian Roldan, Dixie Carter, Billy Corgan, Eric Bischoff, the Yakuza, Rob Feinstein, or any number of buffoons and rogues running this ship.
Not saying he's perfect or that the product is the best it has ever been, nor am I discounting the impact of Bullet Club and the NJPW relationship. But the simple fact is Ring of Honor has never been more successful than they have been under Koff. Hell, you could argue that they've never been financially successful AT ALL under anyone else.
Lucha Underground is almost assuredly dead
Impact is paying fans to come to the shows and asking other fans to set up the ring for free
WWN is being sued by its own iPPV distributor
The NWA has a 50-something musician who thinks jetstreams are the government dumping chemicals on the public running it
Even WWE, while still orders of magnitude bigger than ROH or NJPW, is shrinking rapidly. ROH has to be doing something right.

Kevin Steen and El Generico were sent home from the WWE European tour for disciplinary reasons.
Please come home

http://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/detail ... sent-home/Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn went against a creative directive given to them before SmackDown last night and we’re told it contributed to them being sent home.
Multiple sources tell us Sami and Kevin were supposed to “feed” for New Day following Zayn vs. Kofi Kingston yesterday, but for some reason they didn’t follow directions and left the ring.
The PWTorch glossary of insider wrestling terms defines “feeding” as: “The heel’s role during a babyface comeback where he runs at the babyface only to be repeatedly fended off, with the hope that the series of bumps by the heel will generate positive fan heat for the babyface.”
Owens hit the ring as soon as the match ended and attacked Kofi as planned. However, he and Sami quickly bailed from the ring. New Day then stood waiting, same for the sound crew who didn’t play anyone’s music, and the segment ended awkwardly when the two wrestlers seemingly went off script by not taking their planned beating afterward.
Since publishing the story on Owens/Zayn being sent home, multiple sources reached out saying the duo have been slightly difficult to work with lately and seem unhappy backstage.
It’s worth noting that they were both close with recently fired writer Jimmy Jacobs and Neville (who hasn’t been heard from since walking out).
Stay tuned for more updates.

That picture that Owens put up of him and Neville on Instagram speaks volumes now.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
They have too much talent to be let go. Imagine if Steen, Generico and PAC all came into ROH around the same time period.
Christ, ROH would be running house shows in arenas.

Re: ALL PURPOSE NEW TALENT/SPECIAL ATTRACTION THREAD
They aren't leaving.
They were unhappy, acted, got disciplined and Owens, in particular, was embarrassed for the situation happening at all.
Likely with return on screen before the end of the Survivor Series PPV.

Would Rami Sebei even return as Generico?
