With all this buzz in here, you'd think ROH had signed B. Brian Blair and "Jumpin'" Jim Brunzell!

Ring of Honor but every time the fans chant Too Sweet it gets replaced with the entire Bee Movie

I don't like the implication that Aniversario main eventer Matt Taven isn't good enough to main event Final Battle.

SamuraiFoochs posted:Man I really didn't think AEW was ACTUALLY gonna be a thing. It seems like a really dumb idea but what do I know? Probably a better idea than representing the actual fascists who run ROH and WWE TBF.

Yes all billionaires are bad but that doesn't mean they're all as bad as the Trump propagandists at Sinclair or the Saudi propagandists at WWE. As far as from a business perspective goes, they've snatched ROH's biggest draws because they are them mostly and they've probably got themselves at least as good a deal with NJPW as ROH does because NJPW seems insistent on pushing The Elite over their own talent for some reason.

SamuraiFoochs posted:I also (regretfully) challenge the assertion that people are hungering for an alternative as much as we all might want to believe. Wrestling fans might be, but that demo is at best staying stagnant at post-Attitude Era numbers right now. But that says nothing of the rest of the population and it's kinda like an election. They need to pull in new or "independent" TV watchers to really become anything approaching real competition. There's almost no chance they become a real alternative to WWE, but there's a 95% they steal away most of ROH's audience and as much as I think The Elite suck as wrestlers and people, they're better than both Sinclair and WWE and it's good that the alternative to WWE will be both creatively and morally less objectionable.

Gaz-L posted:As wrestlers? That's... I mean, art is subjective, sure, but I think that's pretty hard to defend as an opinion. The only one who I'd even argue isn't great is Cody, and that's only if you're counting in-ring only. Cody is my favourite of the bunch tbh.

Gaz-L posted:Cody still wrestles like he's in the dead spot in the second hour of Raw most of the time, and tries to make up for it by booking like a bad tribute band to his dad, which basically makes him Jeff Jarrett in TNA. He's very carry-able, but I think he got horribly exposed at All In, because he was the one having to do the heavy lifting and he couldn't even have a mediocre match with Aldis. Cody is the worst in-ring except for Marty but he is still far and away the best wrestler for the reasons you gave. I mean a lot of people think that Aldis match was good. (Kenny is probably better but I dislike him so I won't admit it)

You're right Page is the best sorry.

Gaz-L posted:Marty, Page, the Bucks and Omega are all better. Hell, 2/3 of SCU too, and I'm only saying that because I haven't seen enough of Sky to know for sure. They're dedicated and have great worth ethic and that's why theyre the best support that Cody has in the endeavours he's embarked upon.

VJeff posted:So whenever people say "Okay yeah All In did well but booking something weekly is a lot different", all I can say is... I'm sure they can draw a decent number to a weekly show so I'm not arguing with you, but there is a difference between getting people to follow along with your weekly show on YouTube vs. getting them to show up to watch your wrestling show every week.

Did they really make PCO into Marty Scurll's lackey?

Gumball Gumption posted:Scurll is a pedo is also a rumor that also seems to have the same truth to it as "Stevie Wonder isn't blind". I've never heard anyone produce even a 2nd hand story about it. Its just random folks on the internet saying he is. The other nonce rumours I've heard in Britwres at least have some sort of story attached. I've never been able to get a hint about what Scurll is supposed to have done.

SatoshiMiwa posted:Bushiroad actually reporting real attendance was the biggest positive change they did for New Japan (Well second to actually spending marketing money on the company!) Even Dragon Gate do it nowadays leaving Dradition as the only promotion doing ridiculous stuff like claiming 3000 attendance in Korakuen Hall which I guess is fitting for the nostalgia old men promotion that booked a Bob Backlund main event in 2018.
