BAEST MODE!!!


First off the most important thing in ROH: The man who probably wasn't named Ramon (Corino and I were RIGHT) speaks out on the most important Final Battle match!

quote:

I really shouldn’t have to do this, but let me introduce myself yet again. My name is STOKELY HATHAWAY! My name is NOT Ramon and it’s never been Ramon. For the past year in Ring of Honor, I’ve been overlooked and ignored all because of one man, R.D. Evans. I’m just going to go ahead and start riffing ‘cause it’s long overdue.

R.D. Evans is a liar, thief, manipulator, con man, goof and twit. He used me, Veda Scott and Moose for his own personal gain. #TheNewStreak benefited no one but R.D. For example, no one knew my real name! Imagine being called something you’re not for months on end. And what has #TheNewStreak done for Veda? Aside from wrestling at Michael Bennett's Bachelor Party and a few matches here and there, she’s been stuck as the #TheNewStreak Ambassador. Evans has stifled any opportunity she had to shine. And Moose? This is deep. REAL deep. Sit back, put on some Jodeci, and sip some Cavicchioli while I kick this knowledge real quick.

Moose should be #1 contender to the ROH World or Television Heavyweight Championships. That didn’t happen because he’s been in a tag-team with Evans for months where pins were stolen from him for the sake of #TheNewStreak. Moose is a future champion! He’s a team player! He’s coachable! He also can be led, which is why Moose turned his back on Evans at “Glory by Honor XIII.” Guess who told him it was the right time to walk away from that pink, Abercrombie Kids wearing twit? It was me, Big Stoke.

A visionary spoke to me in Lakeland, Florida weeks before Evan’s big title opportunity. This man has been a blessing and a true mentor who has had his own issues with R.D. over the years. The Embassy was stolen from him. Moose, a future Top Prospect and ROH Seminar stand out, was stolen from him as well. Your former colleague and the man you betrayed, Prince Nana, vowed to end your career, Evans! Nana revealed the truth to me while passing the torch to the next generation. Now it’s up to ME to finish what Nana started.

It’s going down at “Final Battle” on December 7th – Moose vs. R.D. Evans – LIVE on PPV! I’ll be by Moose’s side and our confidence is wild right now. Nothing can stop us. Robert Dufresne Evans… that night will mark where your career ends... and where our careers begin!

See ya’ at Terminal 5!

Sincerely,
STOKELY HATHAWAY

...and the rest of the card which should be alright, I guess.

quote:

*Main Event*
Fight Without Honor for the ROH World Championship
Jay Briscoe (c) vs Survival of the Fittest ’14 Winner - Adam Cole

ROH World Tag Team Championship
reDRagon (c) vs The Time Splitters (Alex Shelley & KUSHIDA)

ROH World TV Championship
Jay Lethal (c) w/ Truth Martini vs #Reborn Matt Sydal

Six Man Tag Team Match
The Young Bucks & ACH vs The Addiction & Cedric Alexander

"Unbreakable" Michael Elgin vs "Sicilian Psychopath" Tommaso Ciampa

Grudge Match
R.D. Evans w/ Veda Scott vs Moose w/ Stokely Hathaway

Mentor vs Student
Roderick Strong vs Adam Page w/ BJ Whitmer & Jimmy Jacobs

4 Corner Survival Match
Jimmy Jacobs vs Hanson vs Mark Briscoe vs Caprice Coleman

I'm personally not interested in the title match, but I am stoked for Lethal vs Sydal, the six man, Strong vs Page, the tag title match and well, pretty much the entire card.

The show starts Sunday night at 7:30 on iPPV and regular PPV. In HD you'll probably pay $35, so pay $25 on iPPV and hook that poo poo up to your TV.

Not hyped? Watch this:

Jay Lethal has really been on a tear this year if BDYY wasnt Dave Meltzers handpicked choice for Most Improved I'd put his name out there for it. Really excited for the TV title match now that Sydal has his sea legs back

Probably won't order this as money's a little tight for me right now and I'm already intending to go to PWG next week if a bunch of talent doesn't get pulled at the last minute, but this is a really strong card. I've got high hopes for the TV title match and the six-man in particular.

Pumped for this card. ROH really has done a great job at getting me invested in the product a lot. Let's get ready for the never ending title reign of Adam Cole! Briscoe going to go down.

I'm not sure what there really is to say. #TheNewStreak was a fun gimmick and he was a big part of it. His job was to hold up the sign and make good facial expressions and he was very good at it. Now he's a heel with legitimate grievances that the crowd actually hates because they're really into this angle.



also he goes by Flex Luger

i don't remember if it was battleground this year or last year (probably last year) where bard maddox said it'll be good and i was like "i appreciate the positivity bard maddox but this show will be bad" and he tweeted me afterwards to say i was right

this show will probably be pretty good though

It's my understanding that PWG couldn't use ROH or EVOLVE talent if they ran iPPVs, and that's like 80% of their roster. Having to wait six weeks after each show for the DVDs is a bummer (and even longer if you want the VOD downloads) but it's worth it for the stack cards they put on by cherrypicking the best guys from other feds.

Going to PWG will be a hell of a lot easier when I move to SoCal in the summer though. I have to get on the road super early next Friday to make sure I'm at the front of the line for door tickets because the online tickets sold out really fast.

Did you guys already show Untitled II? I'm curious how that show looked on video but if you already played it I must have missed it.

How did the iPPVs hold up for Best in the World and All-Star Extravaganza?

I ordered the traditional PPV for BITW and I was thinking about the iPPV tonight so long as there were no issues with the last two they've done.

They all still run on Ustream, so they work fine. ROH takes care of billing, and then you're directed to a page that has a Ustream player. I was on very spotty internet for All Star Extravaganza and it didn't buffer once.

I was at the show and it was fun, but it's interesting for me to see how I react to the same matches live and on video after the fact. Specifically, I enjoyed the Zack Sabre Jr./Kyle O'Reilly match at BOLA way more rewatching it on DVD than I did watching it happen live, for some reason. But it's hard to justify spending more money on a show you've already seen (except for BOLA, because it was that good) which is why I like watching them in PSP-tv. Plus then there's the other people around to chat with and so forth.
