I really want to goto the NYC show but I know those tickets are going to sell out instantly. I love Tiger so it would be awesome to see his retirement.

OJ MIST 2 THE DICK posted:You'll care if you book a hotel in Boston and have to drive 40 miles north to another city Houston is a 100-mile wide metro area. Everything is at least 20 minutes away and not walkable. That kind of trip is not surprising to a lot of people who live in more spread out cities.

I haven't really checked on anything ROH related since MSG, but I remember I read that the title match on that show was between Jay Lethal, Marty Skurll and some guy I never heard of and the nobody won. I assume that nobody was Tavin. Like... is there a reason that ROH didn't try to throw a giant pile of money at Marty in an effort to make him their Guy and then try building the company around him? Because he's been great in literally everything I've ever seen him and he's by far the biggest name on their roster aside from Jay. At least as far as I know. f course if Marty was going to leave no matter what, fair enough.

Whatever they could offer him, WWE and AEW could each offer more, and AEW has the bonus benefit of having all his friends at the top. If WWE wants to snatch him to stick it to AEW, they're going to have to overpay like hell, and there's no scenario where a bid war for him exists where ROH doesn't come in at third place Sinclair ain't interested in spending from their pockets on the product in general, they sure won't change that position to maintain one particular talent

Yeah, Sinclair COULD invest enough to be a real player in the market, but if they were going to, they would've done it for Cody and the Bucks.

I honestly don’t think Scurll would have been any better of a choice than Taven. He’s banged up, most of his matches require the challenger to do all the heavy lifting and he has John Cena levels of snug on his grappling.

For those considering it, the auditorium in Lowell is p good, I saw BCB get hit really really hard with a chair by Jay Lethal about 10 feet in front of me and also Cody won the world title from stinky old Christopher Daniels, would recommend

The designer tried to make a good Matt Taven shirt that people would want to buy, but as she got close the fabric of reality began to tear itself apart as the laws of probability were so callously ignored. She saved us all by giving us the shirt Taven deserves.

17 years ago this weekish quote:From most all accounts, the 6/22 Ring of Honor show in Philadelphia was an incredible show. There were more negatives than some of the previous shows, but more great matches than at any of the previous shows. There was a tag team turmoil match that went 17:30 which killed the crowd and a womens match featuring inexperienced Simply Luscious against JD's Sumie Sakai that was said to be worse than backyard wrestling. But the rest of the show match quality ranged from good to excellent. The show was mainly a series of four different four-man tournaments to leave a final four for 7/27's 60 minute match where whomever wins the most falls is crowned the first ROH champ.

I think the syndicated bits that The Wrestling Channel and maybe Fight Network had of early ROH came from those TV shows. I could be thinking of something else entirely tho. There's a whole hidden history now that Sinclair has pretty much disavowed the DVD era ROH shows.

Is it an official disavowing? I've always been under the impression they're just too lazy to go back and edit the shows for streaming? There's a lot of stuff they'd have to edit with the copywritten music, homophobia, etc.

Its not an official, but they don't sell/stock anything outside of the Best Of DVDs of that era.

They should treat all the DVD-era shows as TV tapings and edit them into a TV series That's 200+ 4 hour shows you could edit into a few hundred hours of television

Yeah right now that library of footage is a huge asset and would actually provide some incentive to subscribe to their streaming service. Which right now is pretty much nil
