:siren: RING OF SLAPNUTS? :siren:


quote:

Rumors have been swirling on youtube and twitter about talks between Jeff Jarrett and Joseph Koff. Sources close to negotiations have indicated that Jeff Jarrett is having difficulties getting his Global Force Wrestling off the ground. With Kurt Angle re-signed to TNA, Jeff Jarrett is left with himself as the top star. Jarrett has worked a significant amount of indie dates in the last year but to the American public he is seen as retired. Jarrett feels it is necessary to rejuvenate his career with a Ring of Honor title reign. By buying into the company Jarrett will be able to kickstart an ROH vs GFW feud, culminating in Alberto El Patron winning the ROH title back from Jarrett and GFW at Final Battle. If Alberto is unavailable Jarrett believes AJ Styles would serve as a suitable replacement to face him in terms of nearly equal star power. These talks are not final. It is unknown if ROH or GFW will make a play for Bobby Lashley when his TNA contract ends in April as he could also step into the challenger role if Patron goes into MMA.

IN OTHER NEWS

Kevin Kelly denies any meeting involving the Briscoes, Adam Cole and Sinclair management happened.

Alberto El Patron is expected to finish up this spring.

Final Battle sold around 8,000 buys on PPV, below expectations but not a money loser.

Negotiations are ongoing as to how many NJPW wrestlers will come over and if more shows will be booked.

Dave Meltzer expects a long reDRagon vs Young Bucks series.

He's good but I would rather he drop the belt to somebody I like more, and I do suspect it will happen at 13th Anniversary. My hunch is that Ciampa wins if he and ROH signed a contract, or Elgin wins if Ciampa decided to stay independent.

The card for that show looks amazing even if it features BJ Whitmer in a significant match. At least it'll probably be Roddy beating the poo poo out of him.

I can't get over what a good nickname Flex Luger is. It's almost as good as the Martin Luther Kings of Wrestling.

I'd actually enjoy Jarrett doing a big build towards the ROH title, only to lose to Ciampa or whoever (I suspect Tomaso is the next champ).

The struggle continues

quote:

The reason more hasn’t come out regarding the May shows with New Japan because of internal issues regarding costs of the shows. It’s also not certain whether any of the shows would be on iPPV. One of them should have been on PPV because I sensed last year a lot more interest in the two shows with New Japan than in the PPVs they did after, even though the PPVs did far more because people still don’t trust the iPPV technology or simply won’t order it that way.

Right now the decisions haven’t been made regarding how much talent will be used. New Japan wanted to send most of the top stars, like last year, figuring it helps their brand. ROH was looking to cut back to only a few, as a cost saver, but others in the company are still pushing to do it like last year and nothing is yet official. The official announcement may be made on the WrestleMania weekend show as far as who is coming in.

No news from Meltzer about Double J buying ROH, but I assume that's because Big Dave is in cahoots

This sounds like a joke but ROH's promotional budget has been greatly slashed for 2015.

You'll notice the change directly after the next PPV. It will probably be reported/announced then but I will give further details then. One of the minor/sillier things is the ROH is no longer giving out comped iPPV codes to anyone - press, friends or families of the Wrestlers etc.

I'd believe it. When Sinclair took over they stopped comping me tickets to the one show a year they ran in Toronto :argh:

Is this the episode with the Bullet Club vs. ACH/Cedric/Sydal six-man or is that next week?

I just watched last week's episode and I was impressed a lot by Will Ferrara, I think that's the best I've seen him look yet and he made that match way better than it had any right to be. I am so ready for the endless Kingdom/Briscoes feud to be over, but hopefully Jay's dumb belt gets made into something increasingly more ridiculous looking.
