In my mind the two things that really damage the core of the ROH brand are: a) World Champions that aren't elite workers that can carry great main events. Sadly Cody's box office success likely set a path on this where that title will never mean that again; and 2) The bottom of the card guys who are regularly booked should be at least competent in-ring.

To me there is a lot of room for mediocre midcard talent and as long as the ceiling at the top of the card is high and the floor isn't too low. In recent months they've kind of gone the direction of a roster of mostly very good midcard talent.

In the ring, Daddiego was embarrassing to watch.

Couldn't agree more. I'm hoping that Cheeseburger, a novelty act with a shelf life that expired eons ago, is next.

Maybe they are trimming the fat on the bottom of the card and overhauling it. The Dawgs, a comedy act for sure, work well together. We will see.

What they need to do is stop using him as a novelty act and start booking him like ROH's Mikey Whipwreck. Not eventually winning the world title, but an underdog who can put up a fight.

[WWE] also has great interest in Juice Robinson. Robinson has started to appear the last few weeks as a cast member in Being the Elite, which seems to be the best avenue to raise the American profile for an independent wrestler. It didn’t work out for Robinson the first time he was there, but even then, in Dusty Rhodes’ interview classes he was considered the best. His current profile is the biggest it’s ever been by far based off the reaction to his interviews and his recent matches, particularly the Cow Palace match with Jay White and the reaction it got. A number of New Japan regulars actually aren’t under contract, similar to A.J. Styles when he was there, so legally WWE can approach them without it being tampering. Others it has to be more nuanced, but they are making plays right now. Another name that has been talked about once again, although they’ve talked about him on-and-off-for years, and at first the hold-up was his Lucha Underground contract, is Angelico

He said it yesterday. Post his G1 match.
