They'd run Punishment Martinez vs Dalton Castle a lot. The NJPW hookup lets them keep their gates high without actually having to do anything. That's the most quintessential american thing in wrestling today.

I'm honestly not sure if I would want to see Martinez or Taven against Castle.

And doing nothing is the problem, it feels like any good direction that doesn't involve the Bucks has been left to either or die ever since Lethal/Briscoe in 2015.

there are no fire promos coming out of ROH
ROH exclusive talent are not producing must see matches.
The closest breakout character they have is Dalton Castle and his act is stale as hell because outside of Silas Young and Tanahashi, no one can work easily with him.

I completely agree. I'm just pissed because I was at the last 2 Lowell major shows which were great and there honestly isn't anything on this show that I'd be willing to pay 30 bucks a ticket for.

Cody. Cody is actually an ROH guy that does New Japan, not the other way round.

I mean I know ROH tapes horribly out of date and it gets loving weird

I mean last year in LOwell, I had to watch throughy 4 consecutive segments of Silas Young and Beer City Bruiser waddling out from backstage with a sign that progressively read "It's been 27 34 41 48 days since anyone has seen Jay Lethal" when they did injury angle after Best in the World and it was loving poo poo.


And the sign wasn't even loving right because next weekend was the G1 USA special and Lethal worked that show!

Last I remember him in ROH, he punched Matt Taven in the head so hard and often his knuckles bled, giving Taven the win in the first blood match at a house show

And Taven is... maybe feuding with Castle? He was getting a title shot at least, so if he wins the belt, you can do him and Cody as a program?

both cody and marty pinned dalton recently and have been cutting promos about wanting a title shot and haven't been getting along in big bullet club tag matches

maybe matt taven was also supposed to be in this mix before his title match got pulled but there's clearly an angle going on right now

Dalton Castle is still advertised for Toronto even though we know he's hurt and can't wrestle. I feel like they're only still bringing him so he can make autograph money. :bravo:

Well, my brother loved his first wrestling show. I thought it was overall pretty mediocre. Bucks vs SSB was sick as hell but most of the first half was just like, fine. They didn't advertise the Briscoes but then had them do a run-in and yell about how they're men, yet they didn't wrestle. They officially confirmed Castle was out 14 minutes before showtime and said he'd be replaced with a mystery partner. But then I guess on top of that Flip Gordon had flight problems so he also wasn't there, so they wound up taking Bushi out of the match and having EVIL, Sanada, and Tanahashi against Kenny King, Jay Lethal, and mystery partner Colt Cabana. It was a fun main event with some silly Daryl Jr. bits but overall the show was just... fine.

Oh yeah he was on the apron and someone (I forget who, maybe Sanada) gave him like a sunset flip powerbomb to the outside and it looked like he smashed the back of his head off the railing. It was gross.
