When did Delirious and Daizee stop being a thing?

Depending who you ask they either are and aren't. It is super tedious. Both have always been really low key and private so it is hard either way. They aren't exactly all over Instagram.

IIRC Prazak was told to put over Hayze's appearance after the photos of her looking anorexic went viral, and he did it really sarcastically and got canned

So a thread I started on The Board may have indirectly led to a man being fired? That's something.

It wasn't just you, I remember there was a long thread on ChikaraFans with people begging Quack to take her off shows until she got her poo poo together

There is no reason ever to bring in Colt Cabana

Watching this week's episode it occurs to me just how much better I find ROH's camera work/producing than WWE. I especially like the interactions such as the Bucks superkicking the camera, reDRagon punching the camera, or the Bucks kicking a "basketball" into the crowd and the camera following it.

I'm sure it's easier for them since all their TV is taped, but it's refreshing not to have constant zooming every time someone gets hit.

Good episode too though, Lio Rush vs. Jason Kincaid was very good and Bucks vs. ACH and Sydal was good as well. The Elite vs. Kushida, ACH, and Sydal should be great at 14th Anniversary.

I've seen jason kincaid on and off over the years and he's been better every single time. How much time do you think he spent personally inventing every move in his arsenal

There's been a lot of talk this week about ROH TV likely expanding to two hours when they move to the rebranded Tennis Channel. If that happens Delirious will have to become a lot more organised. The last TV taping in Nashville dragged on and on to the frustration of a lot of the talent. As I said in the past Delirious's job is probably safe but the case for his removal or change is developing.

If Delirious stops booking, what happens to the NJPW deal?

Is it really on the booker to schedule four episodes to be taped at one time?

Having been to a couple ROH TV tapings, I'd hesitate to say it's necessarily his problem. They shoot live to tape so they can save on editing costs, which is the major issue. There's so much loving dead time during these tapings that they could easily remove if they just bothered to edit the drat thing.

I'm not trying to say Delirious isn't somewhat to blame (especially the last one with all of those women's matches adding pointless time) but I'd guess he's getting orders on high to cram as many episodes into one night as possible to reduce costs and if that's the case, I fail to see how there's any level of organization that could get around that.

What do you guys think of ROH TV? A lot of main events have no real stated reasoning for happening, there's a level assumed knowledge about the wrestlers that may turn off casual fans etc. Two hours could help if they added more interviews or hype videos. Or do you think the commentary does a good enough job covering for that stuff?

I don't think everything need to be constantly spelled out. They do a good job IMO of providing context for what needs contest. Not every main event needs a reason. Sometimes it's just nice to have good matches. I don't need constant storylines to be entertained.

Moving to two hours would kill most of my interest in the show

My gut says ROH would be better served getting two different one hour shows than one two hour one, but I imagine there are lots of reasons that'd also be a terrible idea, while all I think about is 'One hour wrestling TV shows are nice, and I'd rather have more of them than fewer'.

So, when is Ishii going to drop the ROH TV title? At one of the NJPW/ROH shows or to Elgin in Japan?

The NJPW roster is scary thin as is, can they really afford to lose an upper midcard guy right now?

I think 2 hours would be fine if they used 1 hour as a 'pre-show' type with younger guys having a couple of matches and some promos for the 'main hour'

Of course, that might get immediately shut down as an idea by a tv network that doesn't want hour 1 to be easily ignored by fans
