Is really awesome to see KUSHIDA vs Cody. Like Okada, he's a wrestler that can have a very good match with everyone.

Plus... MINORU F'N SUZUKI IN EVERY SHOW !!

He's not. Neither is Ray. Injury to the former perhaps?

The roster for this shows is stacked and I think we'll see a lot of fresh matches. Would have love to see Suzuki vs Jay Briscoe, btw.

Yep. Jay vs. Suzuki is the match I would have liked to see for sure more than anybody on the ROH roster. The match would have sold itself easily.

I guess I see why Kenny was reticent on being featured in ROH. Who was asking to see him against The Kingdom, Yano, or even Y-H? I'm sure his title defense will be great but it's going to be hard to make up the difference for how much Hashi will not be the crowd's babyface that night. And the announced six-mans look like midcard matches (perhaps they are). More than underwhelming use of today's greatest attraction.

Kenny has returned from an injury and we are on the Road to WK. Plus, he always is in tag matches when he wrestle outside Japan. I don't know why all of you are so surprised lol.

Btw, NJPW maybe is protecting him and doesn't want him to lose clean. Add that ti ROH having a thin roster and you have your answer to Kenny not being booked on Big singles matches.

If now they announced him yo face Silas, Martínez and Lethal, you'd complain bc that's another nj star squashing a ROH talent .

This looks pretty much like a New Japan tour for Omega. One singles match and a bunch of tag matches.

Forgetting Omega's returning early from injury, he has also said that he much prefers teaming with The Bucks than wrestling singles matches nowadays. He says it in the recent BTE Q&A. So this is probably to appease Kenny while keeping him involved. I see no problem with it. Their all matches that can and will deliver.

Not forgetting, these are house shows. ROH don't need nor should they put all their cards into house shows.

THIS! Even when ROH gets to bring in stars from New Japan they completely fail to utilize them in an exciting way.

Suzuki vs. Silas should be a great match, but this is absolutely the wrong time for Silas to take a loss.

It's not the fact that he is in tag matches so much as it is the fact that he's in a tag match against f*cking Yano, plus we're already getting him and YOSHI-HASHI in a singles match, so seeing him face him again in a random tag match doesn't feel exciting. If this was some sort of Team ROH All-Stars (Lehtal, Briscoes, ?) vs. Omega, Scurll & the Bucks or something like that most people wouldn't be complaining.

They why does ROH sell them as DVDs and VODs? If you're going to sell people something with the Ring of Honor label, they're going to expect a certain standard of quality.

Cheap to produce.

Plus if you think that any of these matches are of a standard not befitting it then you're taking a very intentionally negative outlook which is more of your own issue than anything else. Thus far all announced matches look good and more than worthy of advertisement.
