If it's a big name (and for better or worse, Cole is a big name), they want it promoted ahead of time so it'll do numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 My man, they’ve continued to do debuts and returns unannounced. That has been debunked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she definitely was not ready that first go around. This is very true, but she's still not very good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Thinking about former ROH Champions of any kind....what's Brody King doing these days? I know he's already there, but he and Jericho could tear it up. (Former tag champ with PCO.....which is another good shout that came up a few posts back.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 And after seeing PCO suggested, I'm now thinking it's him. I could see Jericho pulling for PCO to be the opponent too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To reiterate the point, Khan clarified later on they only meant BIG names that would actually draw people in when advertised. Very few people fit that bill, and right or wrong, Cole does. I think you need to move past this one. Seems like a weird thing to get hung up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kafkonia Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Jericho's opponent will obviously be a surprise Punk return. It was all a work! Edited October 31, 2022 by kafkonia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorman Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 So I was standing on a ladder, and the Hardy Boyz theme started playing in my head, and I thought ... wait a minute ... Didn't Matt Hardy get inducted into The Firm against his will? Shouldn't he have been involved in the beatdown of Mox and MJF at the end of Dynamite?

They went out of their way to include other champions in Jericho's challenge last week. Why waste the air time to do that unless it had a purpose? It's going to be a former champion that wasn't World Champion. Excalibur just slipped up when he was racing through the lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few people fit that bill, and right or wrong, Cole does. Ah yes, like how CM Punk was advertised way ahead of his debut? Whoopsies lol. He was like 8 or 10 months after Sting. Keep in mind new people now run the channels. The people who decreed that don't work there anymore. New head of programing and network execs since that decree was reported. So they don't necessarily have that to stick to anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Everyone knew Punk would be there. Hence the 1.2 million viewers. But it's okay, I'm getting used to being wrong about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I remember when Keith Lee, Jeff Hardy, Toni Storm, Saraya, Athena, Swerve Strickland, William Regal, Claudio and Samoa Joe were advertised to make their debuts. We all went crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
