Re: ROH Maryland 01/07/2012 TV tapings Official Discussion
I guess I wont be watching the TV show at all anymore...
Re: ROH Maryland 01/07/2012 TV tapings Official Discussion
....wow. Well, OK. I think the taping sounds pretty good, personally. I don't know how I feel about playing on the concussion-storyline (and to think about it, I feel like they wanted to do this last year with Davey after the Roddy-match but forgot about it), but it's neat to see a new wrinkle in the WGTT/Briscoes-feud. It's smart to do the official turn on TV since they screwed up so bad with the feud on iPPV. Also excited to see the ANX/Young Bucks-feud begin and progress.

Why not use young talent though? probably wayyyy cheaper and beneficial to the future of the company.syxxpakk wrote:He's a jobber, who cares
Re: ROH Maryland 01/07/2012 TV tapings Official Discussion
I don't think Mondo is going to be that expensive, to be honest. And in fact, why not use young talent to build as stars?
Jobbers and squashes are a necessity. Would you rather it be Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly getting killed by Kevin Steen?

I don't follow.
Are you saying you would rather them bring in young guys to job?

Yes just to take a look at them, why not?syxxpakk wrote:I don't follow.

Re: ROH Maryland 01/07/2012 TV tapings Official Discussion
But if they're jobbers, does it really matter? I would rather save young guys "to get a look at" for more serious try-out matches, instead of just feeding them to the likes of Eddie Edwards, Tommasso, etc.

But neither match was a complete squash from what I've heard, 4 or 5 minutes with Eddie Edwards is enough for someone to show something.syxxpakk wrote:But if they're jobbers, does it really matter?

It's a squash by ROH-standards, though.

Re: ROH Maryland 01/07/2012 TV tapings Official Discussion
I do, but I also have problems with the typical ROH jobber matches because they're not as full-on squashes as they should be. Like I said, squashes by ROH standards. But I've never really put much thought into who jobbers should be and shouldn't be. As long as it's someone I'm not invested in, I don't really mind. I'm not really invested in Mike Mondo, so let him be the loser I say. Better him than them bringing in Kyle Matthews or someone that I tend to enjoy.

I just wanna see some fresh talent at the end of the day, I think most fans would agree with that.syxxpakk wrote:I do, but I also have problems with the typical ROH jobber matches because they're not as full-on squashes as they should be.

Mike Mondo is a pretty good wrestler.
In fact, of all the wrestlers on this card named Mike, I believe Mondo is the most deserving of a spot in ROH.

Forgot to add "Post match promo sets up cole and edwards as new tag team"
Re: ROH Maryland 01/07/2012 TV tapings Official Discussion
Mondo is actually really talented. I hope he gets some run in ROH. He was the best of any of the Spirit Squad guys from a personality and workrate standpoint(and yes that includes Ziggler and Doane).
