Super fun match.

Lethal is already a Triple Crown Champion. I want him to become ROH's first & only Grand Slam Champion. Seems like a good consolation prize if/when Lethal loses the World title. ROH is very good at making accomplishments under then winning the World title feel important. Unlike WWE, where you c...

I went to Death Before Dishonor and the TV Taping the next day back in July in Baltimore. DBD had considerably more people and a much hotter crowd. I was exhausted of wrestling by the time the TV Taping came around the next day. Same with a lot of the people I had seen at DBD. The wrestling was fine...

I see a lot of parallels between Roman Reigns and Elgin. I thought Elgin would have a lot more momentum coming back from the G1 but the crowd still never took to him. I was at the Philly TV taping where he returned from Japan and I was surprised when he got a lukewarm reaction. At this point it's pr...

For what its worth, the Wrestling Observer is reporting that Steve Corino legit needs back surgery and won't be wrestling anytime in the near future.

I wonder if... ...Strong loses to Alexander here to set up a future title match, possibly at Final Battle ? I hope that will be the case because the second gentleman you mentioned really needs something to do right now, and I would fully support him winning the proposed Final Battle match that you ...

I really enjoyed the more serious side of the Bucks during their little program with the Addiction. These guys can be super great baby faces and super dickish heels. And they are one of the best, if not THE best indy act in wrestling.

Give them the tag belts now.

Not only that but there have always been nicknames in wrestling. 95% of the WWE roster has a nickname or two.

Hell almost everyone in real life has a nickname.

I could buy that story if the Kingdom break up wasn't predicated on the fact that Adam Cole was losing matches. If you're the Kingdom and you are pissed that Adam Cole is losing matches, why would you leave it up to him to win the #1 Contender's match on his own? They could have easily ran in and ac...

Lethal not having the belt also allows you to do the Lethal vs. Nakamura match they've teased with Nakamura winning but without beating the ROH World Champion. As far as AJ winding up with the IC belt goes, based on Nakamura's "open challenge" comments recently, I'm pretty sure it won't b...

Because Cole still had to pretend he was friends with Kyle and not with Taven and Bennett anymore And this is where I find holes in the logic of the whole thing. Cole's motivation is that he is pissed that O'Reilly's name was brought up in the #1 Contender conversation and not his. Because of that ...

Has it ever been explained why, if Cole was in cahoots with the Kingdom this entire time, they didn't help him become #1 Contender?

If Styles is the IWGP Intercontinental champ coming out of Wrestle Kingdom, which seems very likely, then he's not jobbing in ROH after early January. Which means he wouldn't be able to drop the ROH belt. Which means he's not winning the ROH belt. Final Battle is before Wrestle Kingdom so we don't ...

Without the title, Lethal is nobody. With the title, Lethal is the guy with the title. AJ is the same draw with or without the title. The reason you may not have the world title match be the main event is so you don't have to railroad all your booking plans for a few shows overseas. If the average ...

Why is AJ Styles with the ROH World Championship a bigger draw in Japan than AJ Styles without it? He's not. At all. Jay Lethal is. Adam Cole is. But AJ Styles isn't, so this argument that AJ needs to be champion for the shows in Japan to draw is just backward. AJ can main event the show with or wi...

I think they made the right and most logical decision with the TV title.

I do wish they had waited till Final Battle BUT it is the TV title so it makes sense to do some title changes on TV.

You don't need to have the belt on Styles to sell out Korakuen Hall. Depends on what the main event is. Lethal is a nobody in Japan. You could have Lethal defend against Styles but there's no way Styles is losing in Japan. I'd probably have Styles go into the Japan tour as champion and defend again...

Styles should win the title going into the New Japan tour and then lose it back to Lethal in America. Makes sense business wise. Styles is now a known commodity in Japan. I love Lethal but he's not getting a second reign. Adam Cole will clearly be the next heel to hold the title, the only question ...

Does it hurt Strong if he comes up short against Lethal a third time? With him just signing an exclusive contract, I thought they would be looking to really push him or at least protect him. If he loses here, isn't he back to where he was years ago where he couldn't win the big one? I'd much rather ...
