Belgian_Waffle Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Yeah I had only seen one ROH non-TK match in my entire life (Joe vs Kobashi) until a month ago when I signed up for Honor Club but I've been hooked on exploring the vast archive. The curated playlists have been handy too in helping me avoid some of the unpleasant surprises from the early complete shows (ie, Mikey Whipwreck guest refereeing in the inaugural event). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Did we ever decide how much of the old stuff is actually on Honor Club? Like, what percentage of the first five years, for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little - last I checked there's a bunch of complete shows from 02-03, and then everything up until HDNet era is just select matches You can download the app and browse through the catalogue without having to log in Edited February 27, 2023 by Dolphman 3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 If I had the book for Uncle Tony, I'd seriously consider putting the All Atlantic Title on Big Bill this week. Not because I think Cassidy has done a bad job, but just to reintroduce some unpredictability. Stoke has done a fantastic job getting the nose up on that Firm stuff and that group probably deserves a bit of shine. Then you could do Cassidy vs. Joe for the TNT Title if you don't put the title back on Wardlow. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing, kind of like when they put the IC title on Nash in '94 while Razor was still really hot. It's not so much deflating the fans by beating their guy as being like look at what this huge scary man just did to your hero. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think Big Bill to Starks is easier to book than Cassidy to Starks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I was just thinking that as much as I like OC, if we follow the law of the TNT title where eventually the champion runs out of steam and loses the title, that OC has to be at that point where he's vulnerable. I figured he would have dropped the title after defending it against Kip because Kip was probably his toughest opponent and the only person to really frustrate OC. But yeah, Big Bill beats OC for the title, and then eventually loses the title to HOOK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly having fun and presumably not the backstage issue he was elsewhere. I also think you could send a positive message to potential free agents that you don't have to be an AEW original to get to the higher levels of the company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Yeah, I don't really mind Big Bill. I just think the Firm are one of the worst things in the company and don't really deserve to be rewarded. I mean, Rush could murder OC and transition the belt to Starks, having better matches while a shitty faction looks on along the way. Or if it has to be a big boy, throw Lance Archer a bone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSH is a good shout, actually. That's not a bad idea. I get the sense they want RUSH to be a big ROH star, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Trickiest thing with AEW booking is that you don't have a ton of mid card heels that can both eat losses and that fans aren't groaning over. Starks needs to win another feud coming out of the JAS one. Do you really want him to feud with Jarrett/Lethal? Or QT Marshall? Sabian? Nese/Woods/Davari? Fans grumble. The Firm isn't credible, really, either. They did Cage/Archer/Page already on the road to his MJF match. You could go back but there's not a lot of legs there. Do you want the House of Black or Swerve or Hobbs (can't go back to that last one anyway) lose. So Starks vs RUSH/Vance or Starks vs Christian feel like fairly good ones.
