ROH is so unpopular that no one bothered making a Final Battle thread. Sad!

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I saw the main event was Rush v Brody King and all I could think of "so that's why those god talents aren't in AEW" and pouted. Brody and Archer were made to be a tag team.

Cary Silkin Reveals He Received ‘Rinky-Dink Offers’ From CM Punk & Jerry Jarrett to Buy ROH

quote:

During the latest edition of the ROH Strong podcast (via Fightful), former company owner Cary Silkin revealed that he was once texted by CM Punk about purchasing Ring of Honor back in 2010. At the time, Punk was still a WWE Superstar and was under contract with WWE.

Silkin noted that he didn’t receive genuine offers to sell the company, but he did get some “rinky-dink” offers from the likes of Jerry Jarrett in 2007 and CM Punk later on. Silkin commented on Jarrett, “I did not speak to him personally. Jerry Jarrett was interested. This was like 2007. It was just a sniff.”

Previously, Jarrett was one of the founders and owners of TNA Wrestling, then NWA-TNA in 2002. The company is now called Impact Wrestling.

Silkin stated on Punk: “I get a text message in like 2010. CM Punk texts me out of nowhere and is like, ‘What would you want to sell Ring of Honor?’ I’ve hustled tickets on the street and have had a somewhat successful business. I don’t think text messaging is the way to approach sales of companies. That first text message might be, ‘I’d like to talk to you about something.’ Those were my only two real offers…they weren’t real. Those were the only two rinky-dink offers I’ve ever had.”

Silkin added on Punk’s business acumen, “In 2010, his business tactics weren’t the best or else it was a fleeting thought by a friend of his.”

Are there still ROH die hards out there? Would love to see how people are spinning Impact getting to be in the cool kids club with AEW and NJPW while ROH is seemingly stuck in Sinclair purgatory.

Through going to shows I became friends with a guy who is part of a group of Matt Taven super fans. They’re still pretty big Taven fans after 2020 from what I gather.

ROH which films TV in a bubble and actually cares about COVID-19 can't partake in all of this loosey goosey Forbidden Portal nonsense because you can't have people show up out of nowhere in a bubble. Also the buzz gets even louder in a bubble. While all of these unsafe companies are out there doing this nonsense in a pandemic, ROH is in the bubble, being safe.

Fortunately ROH fans are sophisticated enough to not require a studio audience to cheer or boo for them to understand if a match is good or not. They can use their deep understanding of the art of professional wrestling, unlike the fans of other low brow groups that need plants or TVs in the audience to help them along.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I watch ROH when they show it here if there isn't a good basketball game on Friday. It's an odd TV show since there are some weeks where they only have one new match and sometimes they don't even have that, but I don't watch ROH PPVs so I actually appreciate when they replay matches from those.

I think the no fans is a big positive personally.

I went absolutely mental at this. Always preferred Eddie to Davey and I was the one voice on this forum saying that Eddie was going to win the title first and do a Jones/Evans kind of angle.

Then they hosed up the angle and just made Eddie into a belt-pillow for Davey
