Looks like Adam Cole was in Pittsburgh recently and there is only one reason a wrestler would go to Pittsburgh in March if not booked for a show.

I feel like if ROH doesn't get swallowed up, Matt Riddle'd be a good fit: they probably don't care that he's a pothead, and he's a dude who could get them some attention while having great matches.

ROH would be perfect for a Jack Swagger/Matt Riddle match.

ROH literally passed on him when he was first trying to get into wrestling.

Britt is very friendly. Her and Adam are a great match. Waiting for her to put it together in the ring and not to come across as overly influenced by her trainers Candice and Johnny Gargano.

Hit hard like brass knuckles

No the take is that it's not true, but all the wrestlers are taking off because they think it's true

I'm actually sad about the naivete here.

I've been doing this for 46 years.

That Jeff Jarrett story is so obviously ridiculous I don't even know where to start.

Like I'm reporting about WWE talks with ROH based on a rumor from Jeff Jarrett. I mean, Ryan Satin isn't either, but just the idea anyone who reads this site can't see through that is amazing.

I'm trying to think who in ROH or WWE is even on speaking terms let alone close enough to divulge major business news with JJ.

Coming up blank.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

It doesn't matter since ROH drew nearly 4000 fans Saturday night. How many non-WWE companies in the U.S. can say the same thing?

Even if that is close to legit that's on the back of Wrestlemania Weekend and the Hardyz.

it was a good show though they really burned the crowd out after the first match and they didn't get them back until the ME. Adam Cole was booked like a dude leaving the company.

The only major issue is that it set up exactly 2 matches going forward. Silas Young vs Bobby Fish for the TV belt. Cody Rhodes lost to Jay Lethal, but then beat up Christopher Daniels after the world title match.

There's still time to get some contenders arranged for the other belts but yeesh those programs.

Not many, but on the other hand, they have the potential to draw that crowd exactly one time a year, and had the perfect match to do so. It's not really a barometer of continued success.

Especially since their really hot tag team title program for the rest of the summer fizzled because of TNA.

Bobby ain't the TV champ no mo', so it's just a singles feud, really. Although it wouldn't surprise me if Silas was the one to dethrone Marty.

You're right, I know Marty has it for a while after they hot shotted it and I completely whiffed.


Yeah so that's one title feud setup and a non title feud maybe.

Silas and Dalton are kind of heading into Bray territory of dudes who really need an actual big win for me tbh.

Dalton as TV champ seems like a good idea until I remember his contract runs out soon
