I’m guessing it was posted because it’s an opinion and a pretty true one at that. If I had my pick between then and now, I’d go then. I only fast forward through shows on occasion in hopes I find something interesting or when someone on here or elsewhere says that there was a really good match on whatever show.
I probably never got around to mentioning it but that AAA wrestling games sucks balls. Still haven’t gotten to try out SVR’11 yet, but I’ve read that it’s supposedly going to be a Walmart Black Friday deal at $29.99.
Ok, so ROH was saying that they were cleaning house and going to get rid of some guys for a while, but the only dude I’ve seen them get rid of was Aries? What the fuck’s up with that? I heard they were gonna dump Dark City Fight Club, Erick Stevens, Grizzly Redwood, Necro Butcher, etc. but as far as I know they haven’t gotten rid of any of those dudes. They need to get rid of Necro and Grizzly ASAP. I can’t stand Necro.
House cleaning is coming in January after Final Battle. Word is Aries asked to be let go because they didn’t have anything for him creatively (which is why he switched to a managerial role, along with other nagging injuries)
And among those which you listed there has been talk about them letting go of Kevin Steen. Which is by far the dumbest thing ever. Steen/Corino is the only reason I still follow ROH. Their feud with Cabana/Generico has been the only good thing ROH has had since Gabe left back in late 08. Sure, honorable mentions would be the Kings of Wrestling being tag champs and bringing in MCMG’s and Shelton/Haas. But still. Those were mainly one shot things. And the KoW have been feuding with the Briscoes the entire time which as much as I love the briscoes in-ring ability. I hate that they are ALWAYS used in tag team feuds.
no waaaaaaaaaaaay!!! Aries can’t leave! he is seriously like wow… way too trill and i can’t see him anywhere else besides roh. =[ i know i just kinda jumped onto roh like a few months ago, but man… Aries is just flat out amazing in-ring and his mic skills do ok i guess? it seems like in roh though mic skills don’t mean too much, which i like alot. i love roh for that. seems like they focus strictly on just putting up good matches and just say whatever on the mic, i guess. as much i was hella down with daniels, i still think no way he should of got over on aries at the ppv. none the less, super tight match period.
briscoes are coo… i guess… iunno, i don’t like 'em much but they got more ring skills than like 75% of wwe+tnas roster.
chris hero is that nigga though! alright, i’m stop now before i sound too much like a noob with roh.
roh > *
man, i need find a list of like must see/classic roh matches or roh dvd’s i should go buy. and wow, roh joe > tna joe… freeeeee. he looked soooo much better back then. now he looks kinda outta shape compared to roh / 2006~2007 tna joe. and he needs the elvis hair-do back.
Aries is working for Gabe Sapolski (former head booker for Ring of Honor) in his promotions EVOLVE (www.EVOLVEwrestling.com) and Dragon Gate USA (www.DGUSA.tv)
I’m sure he’s working other places too like AIW (Absolute Intense Wrestling) and any other midwest feds (He’s from Milwaukee). So check around there too.
And no, usually mic skills don’t matter much in the indies. But the people that do have the great mic skills to go with their amazing wrestling skills (Jon Moxley, Sami Callihan, Cabana, Christopher Daniels, Jimmy Jacobs, Claudio Castognoli, Chris Hero, Steve Corino, Kevin Steen to name a few) are on another level.
oh man, good looking out! you just put me on about the EVOLVE and Dragon Gate. i’ve heard the names alot, well, actually read if anything on random forums, but when i would i ask what exactly is EVOLVE nobody would answer or they would treat me like a Cena Fan. =[ Dragon Gate, I actually seen a few of their dvds. the ones i seen just left my jaw touching the ground… wow… but crazy! now i got another to check out! is EVOLVE like a every few months type thing? or is monthly? and will i be able to watch their events through ppv? or do i gotta wait for dvds? i don’t mind supporting the indies at all… i rather give my money to the best wrestlers honestly. :X i’m coo off wwe dvds. last one i bought was the monday night wars… and i had to buy that rise and fall of the ultimate warrior just to see everyone come together and make dvd strictly to shit on him lol
believe or not, i’m helllla planning on trying to make it out to a live roh ppv around march~may if there’s one next year inbetween those months. my original plan was to go to a tna impact taping, but the impact zone don’t seem all that crackin’ no more. it seems like roh does alot more shows in the east coast, which is even more better for me 'cause i love to travel.
i can’t lie, i kinda marked out when you brought up Colt Cabana, Claudio Castagnoli, Steve Corino ahhhhhh man why can’t wwe/tna have these guys on the roster without jobbing!!! they’re soooo raw!! jhajaisjtetjertkaetk
and fuck it, i think Generico is pretty tight too haha
they have shows at the same time as wrestlemania and same area? really? please do tell. my brother (who is serving in iraq right now) is supposed to be back for a good couple months, so he wants to go to wrestlemania which i’m more than willing to tag along for. shit, it’s wrestlemania! i don’t even care who’s on the card, just the name alone, oooooooo!!! but yeah, they do shows at the same time/area as wrestlemania? i mean, it does kinda make sense totally.
Just FCW developmentals. Glad to see Welshman Mason Ryan is still FCW champion. After the horror that is Rob Terry I’m hoping Mason will actually be a decent wrestler from Wales. HOPING being the key word here.
Every video wire i watch with the kings of wrestling in it Claudio comes off as having bad mic skills. I dont know maybe hero sets the bar to high in there promos. Hero usually talks first. Tough act to follow imo.
