It's so difficult to buy into ROH and their $_0,000 gimmicks. We know they're not throwing around that kind of money. You don't even need insider knowledge to know that, you can just look at their arena setups and production value.

Davey has told Elgin this before in another match..just can't remember which one. I can't wait for the day when Elgin has Truth on his shoulders and then gives him the thumbs down. And slams his ass to the mat with a back drop or something along those lines.

The money Nana and Martini has =/= ROH's money?

They've been building tension between Elgin and Roddy for a while, and that almost came to a head when Roddy insisted that Elgin would give him his title shot at SITS (during a TV show). Elgin started to talk back until they were interrupted (by Steen, I think?). Since both had title shots, back to back, and Roddy won his, even though Elgin had a better match, it's set up perfectly for Truth and Roddy to double down on the stepchild treatment. It should be a lot of fun to see how it plays out.

Nana and Martini = ROH employees? ROH are the ones booking all the angles involving such unrealistic amounts of money?

While i agree the ammounts of money tossed around for fines,contracts and winnings are unrealistic. This is also wrestling and is not always booked for the smart fan that knows better. Believe it or not there are actually fans that don't read internet spoilers and get involved in the behind the scenes part of the show. Those are the fans that still buy into Kayfabe and storylines. And besides ROH would sound really small time if Nana was selling Rhino to Truth for $500 now wouldn't it? Remember Nana is supposed to be a Millionaire from Ghana.

Sometimes i like the Chikara board better fans have fun and roll with the gimmicks and kayfabe. And don't always take things so serious and literally. Not knocking you Maketh but sometimes i wish fans would just go with it at times. No matter how far fetched some of the ideas are!

Yup, good post +1 This is pro wrestling folks, it's a live action soap opera.... At times I dread coming here, there is so much negativity, it's just not fun.

I get what you're saying, but one of the first points I made was that you can just look at ROH and know they can't possibly be throwing this kind of money around. That's looking at it from a casual point of view, not a smark one.

Back in the day Ric Flair would come out during an NWA telecast talking about being a limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun!



Thats the arena he used to wrestle in during the mid 80's before all the pyro and huge sets on tv. You're telling me it was believable back then that this guy was making millions wrestling? The thing is back then when a huge fine was given out or somebody was claiming to be making millions fans didn't over think whether or not it was true or not. They just went along with it for the ride.

I agree casual point it is unrealistic..but thats beside the point!

it's wrestling. it's grown men in tights pretending to beat each other up. suspend your disbelief, or just stop watching. it's like watching a movie and say "there is NO WAY Jackie Chan could really do that!!!"

except for the fact that after watching the shows live this weekend, I think the swerve is that Roddy is turning, not Elgin.

there was obvious tension between Roddy and Truth, and Roddy walked behind the curtain alone after both of his matches. Add to the new face-style Roddy t shirt, and the fact he worked face in the match he won against Lethal, i'm betting he's the one to go face, not Elgin. at least not for awhile.

You've all made your points and I guess I concede. A first on the internet, perhaps. But I will just say that I don't think your Jackie Chan analogy works in this particular argument, as well as simplifying it all down to me just needing to suspend my disbelief.
