Seconded. Really excellent show all around. Dalton and Cheeseburger have a pretty hilarious inadvertent double-pin spot in the 6-man you'll want to see.

BIG BICEPS SHOHEI


Heard the Cabana promo was actually fantastic, so I am intrigued. Will always have a soft spot for the guy because the Cabana/Homicide angle is what really drew me into buying the DVDs.

I think it also provides an interesting match storyline for Jay: He's never faced anybody who wrestles the weird british mat style that Colt does (to my knowledge) while he's been world champ, and that being his achilles heel works, if they plan to put the belt on Colt.

That said, I think Dijak is the one who ends up beating Jay.

I'm surprised Vince hasn't rolled up in a chariot and drug Dijak off in a net.

Glad Colt and Delirious managed to mend fences.

Honestly, if Dijak had about fifty more pounds of muscle mass, yeah, Vince would be camping outside his door. As of right now, I bet Vince would think he's too skinny.

I think Colt Cabana's fine and everything, but it's a little hard to buy him as a serious threat to Jay Lethal, The Greatest Pro Wrestling Champion in the World.

It's going to pad his reign length, and nobody else in the company can currently be taken seriously as a threat without at least a few more weeks of prep. This is fine with that in mind

Tanahashi does, however, have a new goal in mind for 2016. New Japan has a lucrative working agreement with Ring of Honor, and Tanahashi wants Jay Lethal’s world title.

“I want the ROH championship,” said Tanahashi, who is a seven-time IWGP champion. “I want Jay Lethal’s title. When I get his belt, I’ll defend it in the U.S. and I’ll defend it on all the big shows in New Japan.”

Was able to make it to Supercard of Honor TV tapings on Saturday



Shane Taylor was great during the dark match

Jay Lethal delivers what the people want making him the best world champion

Matt Sydal/ACH was awesome in how ACH was making fun of the ANX and how good the finish was

Donovan Dijak v Will Ferrara was given mic time to set up the story for the match. Had a great botchomania moment with Dijak getting into it.

Bobby Fish and Rodi Strong in a two out of three falls match able to highlight each guy’s arsenals

Silas Young was a lot of fun from where I sat because he yelled at the fat dude in the front row. War Machine vs Silas and the Beer City Bruiser was a good old slobernocker

Dalton Castle vs BJ Whitmer had the crowd eating out of Dalton’s hand

Brisco’s v Addiction v Shelly & Sabin v Young Bucks should have been an elimination match, but people have better things to do on a Saturday in Dallas. We had reservations at Fogo de Chao; so we had several animals to eat later ourselves.

Kyle O’Rielly vs Adam Cole was a No Holds Barred fight that delivered for the crowd

I think when they did the first NJPW vs ROH shows a lot of people were hoping for Nakamura vs Hero. Shibata works too.

They're in talks. He doesn't want to do WWE, and EVOLVE's recent decision makes that harder if he stays with them

How likely is he to continue doing PWG, if he ends up working with them? I know the embargo has ended, but I feel like being part of the ROH roster is pretty time consuming.

He really seems to love PWG, it's rejuvenated his career in numerous ways. He's doing better in ring than I think he ever has, at least in terms of singles action. If a deal's reached, I can't imagine it 1) would stop him from doing PWG, and 2) would involve a lot of ROH dates. I could see him doing big shows and a few TV tapings, but PWG deservedly looks like where he's going to do most of his work from now on.

ROH and PWG have a relationship now so as long as it doesn't conflict with any ROH dates he'll be on their shows

Yeah, if Cole and O'Reilly can work PWG again while under ROH contract I don't see any reason why Hero couldn't. We obviously don't know the details for sure but the rumor was that the Bucks and Roddy wouldn't reup with ROH to begin with unless they were allowed to continue working PWG. With HHH trying to freeze ROH out of workers by discouraging people from working there if they want to get signed to NXT, they're not really in a position to play hardball with talent anymore on subjects like that.

ROH announced in December that their guys can work PWG shows, it's no longer anexceptionthat has to be negotioated like in Roddy and the Bucks' cases.
