Wouldn't hurt to have another (Briscoe/Strong/Lethal) type wrestler who have a great match every show. Even if it is just on a special attraction basis.
You're not dreaming it up. He did an interview burying the booking of the tag titles- particularly the quick series of switches from reDRagon to RPG Vice to the Wolves and back to reDRagon, with RPG Vice and the Wolves both losing in their first defenses (saying it would have been better to just leave them on reDRagon)- and I think he also said some other things, so ROH replaced him with BJ Whitmer in what was supposed to be an American Wolves farewell match that turned into just being an Eddie Edwards farewell match.

Roppongi Vice never won the ROH World Tag Team Championship. You're thinking of Forever Hooligans.

I miss the Forever Hooligans. I still rock the shirt from time to time. Koslov was really good IMO.

They're basically the same thing... which is really on Rocky Romero for not changing his schtik in any way whatsoever.

When did Rocky Romero become this sudden firebrand of undercard wrestling? His character work has been a stick in the mud for a long time. When RPG Vice and Forever Hooligans were just the vehicle Romero-branded wackiness, who could really bother to tell the difference of the effects of either team?

Oh fucking come on you two (Wilson and BRM). The difference between the two is the excellent babyface work of Trent. Romero was smart enough to see this and it extended his career. I like Rocky a lot, but ROH kissing his ass like he is a legend just reeks of desperation from somewhere in the locker room.

The character of Roppongi Vice and Forever Hooligans were dominated by Romero antics. Remember the collective groan when RPG Vice debuted with their Romero-dubbed rap song, "Forever" fur coat, and brass knuckles? For years and years it seemed like such a bad thing to emphasize. It made both guys on the card lower than they should have been.

Agreed that Trent is great. He should do well on his own. If he starts getting a push in New Japan, I can see him being a crossover guy that ROH really clings on to because of how well his style translates in their promotion.

PWInsider confirmed the information. He still can go, but if he return to ROH, please, just one night only or special attraction matches. He's so unprofesional.

Don't bother bringing him in at all. Hes too much hassle. The cons of bringing him far outweigh the pros.

Observer:
In something predictable, Low Ki is gone, mad about booking, although he’ll be all over television for a number of upcoming shows since he did the tapings. Low Ki was booked to be part of a multiple person X division match at Bound for Glory and was unhappy about that. From one source, he showed up the first day at TV, where he was supposed to get a shot at the GFW title and Alberto in the main event, but that was canceled. When they laid out the GFW title picture, which involved Eli Drake, Johnny Impact, Matt Sydal and others, but not him, he was unhappy from day one. He worked the tapings and was complaining a lot to management and after being talked with, he wasn’t happy and made the decision to leave and both sides agreed to go their separate ways. We’re told reports this was money related aren’t accurate in the sense it was purely creative and he was under contract at a figure both sides had agreed to. He does have a history almost everywhere of leaving, very often over being unhappy with his creative. The company knew it was a risk bringing him back, but felt he’d fit in with the LAX faction, but he was only signed to a six-month contract with the idea anything could blow up at any time.

Aries was able to get a one night only return, so things are good.

As for the three-way, make it a ladder match for ONE THING the winner would want most, be it a contract (full or part-time), creative control, championship shots, etc. The losers have to give something back to the company, perhaps something like reimbursement for a missed flight.

Aries came back and publicly spoke of his past issue, which was obviously Jim Cornette.

Paul London's just a weird dude. Great wrestler, but yeah, an odd ball.

And Davey Richards, despite everything he said in the past - I wouldn't be shocked if he did return. He'd probably do what he did with Steen, apologize profusely, say he was having a rough time at home and then kiss ROH's ass for a few months before again showing his true colors.

Low Ki, again, just isn't worth the flight, nevermind what he'd want to be paid.

big meh on Rusev. He's not terrible but I don't really care if he comes to ROH.

One guy I do not want under any circumstances is Ziggler. Hopefully he never leaves WWE.

Have never been even remotely impressed by a Rusev match. No thanks.
