Big Fresh Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 President Obama is now following ROH on Twitter.... https://twitter.com/ringofhonor/status/564835307166892032
Casey Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I highly doubt Obama himself even tweets, much less followed ROH. More likely that someone on his staff who controls his Twitter account did it. Still, though - pretty cool.
The Nature Boy Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 The President of the United States has had multiple WWE TV appearances and follows the ROH Twitter account. WHAT KIND OF WORLD DO WE LIVE IN? 1
nofuture Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Srgt. Slaughter has stories about meeting both Nixon and Reagan and both being big fans of his so it's not that much of a stretch.
Web Conn Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Presidents are people too. The first George Bush was really good friends with Ernie Ladd but I think that was do to Ladd's political leanings more than his wrestling contributions.
mattdangerously Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Obama's twitter account follows over 600,000 other accounts. Let's not get too excited. 1
Jenalysis Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Srgt. Slaughter has stories about meeting both Nixon and Reagan and both being big fans of his so it's not that much of a stretch. And wasn't Carter a huge fan of Wrestling II, to the point he tried to get him a WH invite?
Jiji Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Yes, both Carter and his mother were big Mr. Rasslin' II fans. Mr. Wrestling II couldn't accept the invitation because there are security regulations that would've forced him to unmask in the White House. KAYFABE. 2
hammerva Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Jay Briscoe doing commentary is well it was something. Elgin doing the standing suplex on Moose for about 15 seconds only to no sell and clobber him was pretty awesome. In terms of flippy MOVEZ, the 6 way match features Styles/Bucks vs Alexander/ACH/Sydal is a match of the year contender. I loved the 3 way tag title match on New Japan 2/11 show and I enjoyed this much more.
Jiji Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 ACH almost killing himself on the running hurricanrana to Styles on the apron was really dumb and incredibly dangerous. I didn't really care for the match and while I can buy into those ROH type sprints at times, I felt this one was really convoluted had far too many spots that took me out of the match. And I fucking can't stand ROH crowds. "This is wrestling!" *clap clap clapclapclap*... SMDH
Raziel Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 The finish to that 6 man is everything I hate about Indy Wrestling and the Young Bucks rolled into one. 2
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Presidents are people too. The first George Bush was really good friends with Ernie Ladd but I think that was do to Ladd's political leanings more than his wrestling contributions. That Bush's favourite wrestler was Wahoo McDaniels supposedly
Buy Me a Burrito Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Bush Sr. coached Wahoo in Little League baseball back in the 50s.
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Bush's least favorite wrestler was Sgt. Slaughter. 1
Technico Support Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Slaughter refused to tell Bush where the WMDs were hidden despite intelligence gathered during his time as an Iraqi sympathizer. 1
Big Fresh Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Richard Gray on Twitter: I'm told Spike TV had preliminary talks with Ring of Honor about monthly specials. Details on those talks http://mf.tt/wjmVL
NikoBaltimore Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Monthly specials? I'd be good that. Why stop there, though? Just get them off Sinclair already and put the weekly shows there too. It was cool at first knowing Sinclair has headquarters 20 minutes from my place. But they just don't want to shell out much money to support them. I would hope Spike would be more willing to shell out the cash.
cool arrow Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Sadly, Da Meltz has said there's nothing to the Spike story. RUMBLINGZ~!
Technico Support Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Sinclair is awful and I don't really see much of a future for ROH. Everyone I've known who has worked for them (I used to work in broadcasting in Maryland) has told me nothing but bad things, especially regarding how cheap they are. I'm seriously surprised they shelled out the cash to switch to HD. They probably got a barter deal. I just Googled "sinclair broadcasting cheap" and found this awesome thread. 1

Oh, this is just delightful. I almost got a job there, and thinking back and am glad I didn't. I disagrre about ROH though, they'll be just fine. SBG in a just world wouldn't be around much longer. But they have such shit programming that they'll have enough suckers sign up with them. I'd be up for showing those in charge of ROH that link. They really need to get out of there. 1
Technico Support Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 From what I recall, Baltimore's Sinclair-owned Fox affiliate -- the flagship station of their company -- was (still is?) the only non-union station in the area. Not because of their political leanings -- though I'm sure that helps -- but because being non-union means they can have salaried employees work 60 hour weeks with impunity and allow interns to do technical work that paid staff should be doing. Is it any wonder that ROH was turned down when they asked execs for more money? I'm surprised Sinclair doesn't just ask Delirious to train their interns to wrestle.
NikoBaltimore Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Maybe I'm a quasi-Masochist, but a clip of interns trained by Delirious would be unintentionally funny.
Dewar Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Could training interns really end up worse than who they are training in the dojo? I tried finding a list of "graduates" of the ROH dojo, but Rhett Titus might actually be the best guy they have trained. Well him or Bobby Dempsey, from the names I found.
cool arrow Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Well, that should've come as no surprise to anyone. (The Joe thing, I mean.)
