It's really baffling to me how some people on this forum really will just defend every single thing that ROH does. Change the forum to ROHMecca.

But did you see #TheRub O'Reilly got yesterday just being in the ring with Naito ? That was some Austin/Rock awesomeness right there !!!

Also Omega's replacement being the new member of the Bullet Club for no reason. Who cares if it's aborting a potential face turn that would have been something fresh to do for Cole instead of the same fucking thing he did for two years ?

you need to respect others opinions.

Tonight will be my first live ROH show. I started watching in the beginning then quit when Gabe left and just came back around Final Battle this year. Pretty happy with the product. Doesn't live up to they heyday but nothing ever does.

I really enjoyed last night's show overall. Even the fuck finish.

How do the signings work? Are they generally available between when the doors open (6) and when the bell rings (7:30)?

In my experience, they usually have a few guys at tables from door open until right near first bell (usually a dark match when I've gone, kind of a warm-up comedy gig in most cases with non-roster guys like P-Dogg). At a Supercard of Honor that I went to, they had the whole roster, or 90 percent of it. Usually they announce ahead of time, and sometimes they bring in a 'name' who's not wrestling -- Stevie Richards was at one of the Atlanta shows and signed and did an in-ring promo that led to his doing a few matches and challenging Lethal.

Have a great time!

I don´t see the problem with enjoying wrestling, that´s actually the point. I didn´t like the finish of the PPV but if someone did good for them.

Weird thing is when people don´t like something and even hate it and still watching it instead of finding something else they will enjoy.

[Saintpat]

I understand the argument, sort of, but I have to say that I have never once thought, "Well, I'm only paying $10 a month for WWE so who cares how the PPV is booked; BUT, I'm paying more for an ROH PPV so they better book it this way ..."

If I pay for an event on my TV or iPad, I'm willing to pay whatever I pay for it (for instance I'm a big boxing fan and didn't get Canelo-Khan). Once I've made that decision, I'm not doing a dollars vs. booking/main event ending equation.

If I'm entertained, it's money well spent. If I'm not, it's not -- I've enjoyed every ROH PPV that I've ever gotten (to varying degrees, obviously some are better than others) so I don't go back to "but how much did I pay for it?" If I agree to pay $35 or $45 or whatever (usually split the cost with a friend and watch together, or sometimes if I can't make it I'll pitch in a few bucks and he'll get me a DVD, which was the case with this one), then I've decided up front that whatever I'm paying is worth it to me for that evening's entertainment. I might have paid a similar amount to go to a movie if I decided to do that, and sometimes the movie is worth it and sometimes not.

I don't buy an EVOLVE show for a lower price and say, "Well, it wasn't that great but it didn't cost that much." My last EVOLVE experience (live) was horrible, so I'd never do that again, nor would I pay $10 to see some TNA guy cut an anti-WWE promo or whatever they're up to these days.

That's how I make my decisions. ROH has been worth it for me because they entertain me. If I have a few ROH PPVs where I'm not entertained, then I'll quit buying. But there's no money/booking sliding scale for me. It perplexes me that people think that way.

EDIT: Wondering if some of the people making the "if they charge this much" point are also people who watched on a free stream?

If you spend £50 on a meal at a restaurant do you not have higher expectations than when you spend £5 for some fast food?

No, it's never crossed my mind that way.

If I go to McDonald's and the burger is cold and they didn't get my order right, I don't say "Well, at least it was cheap." I take it back and ask for a warm burger with the order correct.

If I got to a $50 steak house, I expect a good steak. I don't have a way of judging whether it's 10x as good as the McDonald's burger.

My expectations are different depending upon what I'm buying but not on a comparable scale -- if I go to an ROH show, I expect to be able to partake in more crowd involvement (I'm pretty much strictly front row now, always spring for those seats for just that reason) than I would at a WWE show, where I'm farther from the ring, for instance. But I don't ever say to myself, "I paid $75 for these WWE seats, so it better entertain me more than that ROH show where I paid $40" or whatnot.

If I shell out to go to WrestleMania, yes, I expect a WM experience, but I genuinely had as good a time on my WM27 trip as I did on my WM30 trip, even though the latter was obviously a better show.

Who said they hate it?

[187_Joeism]

If you are only saying negative stuff all the time you come across like you hate it, usually when you dislike something you talk about things you like and thing you don´t.

Good to see Bobby Fish finally getting a singles title in ROH, hopefully he gets a 7 month reign at least that is hopefully well booked. Thought it was second best match of the night after the Briscoes/war machine clash.

Main was starting to get interesting before the big time shenanigans, just have Lethal win clean and then do all that garbage.

Also Enjoyed the 4 way match, thought they all linked up well and the finish was well done,

[Burnside]

So anyway, after attacking the announcers, ref, cameramen, crew, etc. the Bucks and Cole are all definitely fired, right? Like Corino and Ciampa?

What does this mean?

[Mr. Mojo Risin]

My interpretation of that is that the "non-existent" locker room turmoil between 2 parties unfolded in the ring. The guy they're going to cash in on made the biggest headlines.

[supersonic]

A fair and very simple assessment:

Corino's not fired, he's suspended.

It's funny you say that, because I think there's more criticisms of ROH on this forum than you might think (and that's not a bad thing at all).
