greenbat Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 There is a rumor that Sinclair might want to sell ROH so they can buy college football games. And Spike has met with ROH. Do I hear rumblings? If so this would be Fuckin fantastic.maybe it'll fail but I've always wanted to see a hard hitting style on a main stage and Spike is obviously willing to give them time on the network, imagine next year a joint NJPW show on primetime television.
bink_winkleman Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 So I'm starting to think the problem with WWE Network is that wrestling fans are just too stupid to understand how it works. I work in cable, and you'd be amazed at the amount of people who call and ask me about the WWE Network, or how to watch Main Event, etc. There is definitely a LARGE number of fans not aware of how this works. It amazes me that someone would be willing to sit on hold with a cable company for three hours but doesn't have the patience to wait two seconds until Cole and Lawler walk them through every step for subscription multiple times in each match. 1
Skelemania Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Last few times I have watched ROH, it wasn't great either. Honestly, Maria looked like a bigger star than all of the wrestlers. I would take it over TNA though.

PetrolCB Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I had a dream last night that Ambrose started using Wire's Pink Flag (demo version) as his theme song. I wish that were true. 1
Web Conn Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 If Viacom buys Ring of Honor I hope they put some money into the production.
Newb82 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 They should have stuck with lighting similar to their peak. I really liked how it would be tailored for the stars' entrances.
odessasteps Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 If Viacom buys Ring of Honor I hope they put some money into the production. Would Viacom tell them to slow down and sell more? #bbq 1

Maria is loaded with charisma and has a cute ass while mostly everyone else does their wrestling action figure face at all times and what wrestling style is cool in ROH these days.
Spontaneous Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I just wish DGUSA and ROH would merge and be a alternative. Together they'd have an actual roster that could match up to ROH's heyday, almost. Even if Gabe is kind of pretentious at times, he was great from 2004 to 2007. 1

WWE should just hire Maria back, she's leagues ahead of most of the current crop of divas. 1

Tromatagon Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Guys guys I just became friends on Facebook with Michinoku Pro Wrestling And so should you
Victator Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Remember when everybody in this thread was trying to jump on the Russo bandwagon?
muhammedboehm Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Remember when everybody in this thread was trying to jump on the Russo bandwagon? Were we jumping on the bandwagon so as to make it crash?
Victator Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Nope people were going on about "Oh he is such a good guy." because he said some churchy words to Cornette. It is in this thread.
Brian Fowler Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I said he came across better in that twitter exchange because he did. Nobody said he was a good booker or anything like that.
Victator Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Being calm is the oldest trick in the book. We have become a culture that glorifies apathy. That actually caring is a sin. 1
caley Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 No, I think people were more annoyed with Cornette suggesting that Russo should die (Replying to Russo saying "Life's too short" Cornette tweeted some people's "Weren't short enough"). It's enough to have silly feud and hate somebody over wrestling, but to suggest he should basically die because you disagree with someone paints you as shit. It's not a matter of "caring" or "jumping on a Russo bandwagon", it's about being an adult and not suggesting somebody should be dead because you've disagreed with him over pro wrestling-related matters in the past.
Casey Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Cornette is more of a cancer to any wrestling promotion he joins than Russo is these days. 1
caley Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 BTW, in the 'Always A Shitty Lining to an Ian Rotten Story' news Multiple reports have surfaced that indicate Ian Rotten physically and verbally assaulted a pair of pre-teen children during the main event of the EPW event held at Jammerz in Clarksville, Indiana on July 24th.. According to a Facebook post from the mother, " One of the fights got in the audience, which we knew was a possibility. My kids moved and the fight went the way they moved, they moved again. My daughter, who is 11, got scared and was coming to me. Then, John Williams...AKA Ian Rotten bumped into Arianna. He proceeded to say to her, "You fucking pushing me?!?!?!", and PUSHED MY DAUGHTER! My son walks up, Ariez is 9, and this same mother fucker, bent down to get in his face and say, "You wanna hit me? Hit me then you little BITCH!" And proceeded to PUSH MY 9 YEAR OLD CHILD!" After the incident, the mother attempted to discuss the situation with management and was approached by Rotten's teenage son who continued the verbal assault by informing the mother that "She should have moved. She was told to move" When the mother informed Rotten's son that she would be notifying the Police, he then got directly in her face and shouted " You stupid fucking bitch! The little bitch should have fucking moved!" The mother contacted local Police, who agreed that the incident "went too far". Ian Rotten responds! Rotten stated that "During my match Thursday night when in the ringside area, not in the crowd, I felt a forearm to my lower back with a push from behind. At this point I turned around and reacted to it, told the person not to push me and pushed the person back. Honestly and truthfully I did not realize that it was a young girl." He went on to justify his actions by stating he was unsure if the 11 year old girl had a weapon and recited an incident in which he was "stabbed by a 70 +year old woman in Texas" . He also stated the profanity laced verbal altercation with the 9 year old boy was justified stating " that on my part was purely interaction with him and I will not apologize for doing my job". In his apology, he offered no explanation for his son's profanity laced verbal assault directed at the mother, simply stating that his son "was a man" and that he would " talk to him" about the incident. He's got a point: what if that 11 year old girl had a weapon?! Like some jacks...or a sharpened Barbie doll. But, at least his son "is a man", so that's good news. (This is from ewrestling, btw, but I can't link it because stuff) 1
