And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine

I mean that's a great match, but maybe do the VOD match as a rematch and have the first match up be on PPV?

BAEST MODE!!!
Wouldn't be shocked if it will be tougher for them to get dates on Dragon Lee around the time of their next PPV. It's easier in the winter as lucha slows way down, but things ramp up in March during the build for Dos Leyendas.

The big ROH shows usually deliver so i hope they can keep a good roster. Happy to see Lethal re-sign.

Throw me in with everyone else that doesn't want to see anyone else sign with NXT. They have talent they just don't utilize it.

Now FloSlam on the other hand...

There's stuff I can't/won't say but Kyle hasn't retweeted or promoted his ROH tag match in January. Something to monitor.

PWInsider:

quote:

Some contract updates: Ring of Honor has come to terms with Jay Lethal for a new deal. While there were attempts to get Steve Corino to stay, all signs are he is gone as of 12/31 when his current deal expires. As of this writing, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, War Machine and BJ Whitmer have not signed new deals.

There has been a lot of talk of Whitmer being the new color commentator with Kevin Kelly. It appears the last time Corino and Kelly will be working together in the forseeable future will be the New Japan Dome Show.

If O'Reilly doesn't come to terms, I would be shocked if he retains the ROH title at the 1/4/17 Tokyo Dome event for New Japan, where he faces Adam Cole. Cole and Fish are both advertised for the 1/14/17 Atlanta TV taping, so they are going to be working with the company going forward.


quote:

An interesting situation over the past several days after Scarlett Bordeaux, who works regularly for ROH but has never been signed to a contract, wrestled and lost to Nia Jax on Raw this past Monday in Chicago, where Bordeaux is from. Mandy Leone and Kelly Klein, who are pretty much the center-pieces of the Women of Honor division, took to Twitter without naming Bordeaux and stated they would never work for WWE without a contract offer. The tweets were later removed. What is extremely odd is both have worked in the past for WWE during the time period where Adam Rose had all the Rosebuds.

Big difference: Being a Rosebud doesn't involve doing a job. Plus you have to be on the lookout for indy folks appearing like that. Way back when, I didn't know CM Punk was one of the gangsters appearing during Cena's entrance until he mentioned it in a promo.

Scarlett is a time keeper, ring announcer and valet. Barely ever a wrestler on indies.

Dozens of wrestlers went in on them both the other night over it. Cattiness and bullying is a big issue in the WOH locker room. Veda Scott recently quit for example.

The WON Daily Update:

quote:

Jay Lethal and Christopher Daniels both signed new deals with ROH. Kyle O'Reilly is the name everyone is talking about. He has not signed a new deal at this point.


There had been talk that Daniels might become a NXT trainer but he's probably the person who wins the ROH title after Cole & possibly gains the ROH booker role if they ever make a change and with Corino gone the race for the next booker is easier.

this popped up in my feed the other day and i've been putting off watching it but i finally took the plunge tonight and i'm confident calling this a very bad wrestling match that is good and the audacity it took to book this in the first place is sorely missed in many promotions

There's no reason this needs to be 18 minutes. There's like 10 minutes of action here and its twice that length. Some of the hottest feuds in ROH history didn't get 18 minute blowoff matches but somehow this did and in front of people looking at their phones. Great. I wish more places took stupid risks like this.

The booking for the Lowell TV tapings sucked too

Like match 1 was War Machine/Pretty Boy Killers and was super awesome

In order to keep 300 people from leaving they booked the Young Bucks in the final match against Matt Tavens newly debuting Kingdom

I'm thinking about this match a lot for whatever reason. Taeler is dreadful here and while Mandy's work is way too soft she does a pretty good job recognizing what the crowd perks up for and milking it for whatever its worth to good reactions

The pacing is weird as hell though. Mandy puts Taeler through a table from the ring to the floor and this is used to shift the momentum to Taeler who also beats up Deonna effortlessly. Mandy starts to recover before being cut off again by the other babyface interfering while the heel gets the better of them both. And then Mandy loses when she gets soft and refuses to hit Taeler, begging for mercy and covered in Mandy's blood, with a chair.

Maybe it's match of the year idk
