TONY NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGN MATT TAVEN AND MIKE BENNET JUST BECAUSE TRIPLE H IS INTERESTED IN THEM!!! TONY THERE ARE ENOUGH GUYS ON THE ROSTER ALREADY!!!! IT'S FUN WHEN YOU PUT TOGETHER LOW-CARD FACTIONS LIKE THE TRUST BUSTERS AND EVEN TONY NESE+SMART MARK BECAUSE THEY AT LEAST LEND THEMSELVES TO JOKES, BUT THESE GUYS ARE JUST WRESTLERS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY WORSE AND SIGNIFICANTLY BLANDER THAN THE MEDIAN AEW PERFORMER!!!!!

If Matt and Mike were stipulations for getting Maria, then it's worth it. :colbert:

What if Taven is there just long enough for Jericho to beat him as part of his "I'm gonna beat all the past ROH champions" gimmick and then fucks off to the Island of Irrelevance or whatever it was

Listen TK, I was willing to go along and find the good in a lot of stuff. Dan Lambert, the Sammy G/Scorpio Sky feud, not putting the belt on Jaime Hayter yet, I could stomach.

Matt Taven is a bridge too far.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I think this mindset is completely alien to me. They’re mostly very good wrestlers attached to ROH, there’s literally no difference between them and the AEW-exclusive wrestlers. What is it about guys like FTR, Claudio, Bandido, etc that associating a ROH logo with them turns them completely unpalatable

I have no problem with who is AEW or ROH, but the roster is too big to tell satisfying stories with all of them week to week, and they keep signing even more people. It's just bursting at the seams. I don't want to enjoy a guy and then have him not show up on television for another 4 weeks. I just want a separate ROH show so all the storylines for both can get more time to breathe. I feel like if ROH had an actual show, maybe Claudio wouldn't have vanished into a puff of smoke after dropping the belt to Jericho or may have had a bigger part in the story.

You mean Claudio, the guy who was on Rampage last week and is on Rampage this week.

yes, the guy who lost the belt and then made no effort to get it back or even express that he cared. but I'm glad he "appeared" in a match. That's a great story.

I want even more wrestling programming on the TV, that's my complaint :shrug:

You could say that instead of making stuff up. But given his stablemate was going for the title I can see why he'd let his friend have the chance to do that.

Claudio cut a promo saying he wanted a rematch for the ROH title. Whether it was Jericho or Bryan he didn't care. I don't remember if that was on Rampage last week or if it was on a YouTube thing like Control Center though.

Yeah I think it was a Road To Somewhere. Probably right after the Jericho/Bryan match was announced.

ROH has to be close to a TV announcement if they're pushing it this hard lately. Guessing we'll get an AEWvROH PPV over the winter to separate the rosters.

I was thinking the same, but if you were being pessimistic it could be one last roll of the dice to try and get a deal, or TK making use of all the ROH-related workers he’s acquired rather than them sitting around doing nothing forever.

Whichever it is, I hope there’s a resolution soon. The Jericho run has saved it a little, but I’m getting a bit bored of ‘AEW presents: Ring of Honor’.
