Hail Sabin Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I remember I bought many DVDs partly for just the Jacobs/Lacey storyline to see how it progressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I loved that the end of the Jacobs vs Whitmer match at Supercard of Honor featured Lacey saving Jimmy, an embrace, and then leaving out to the Jimmy Loves Lacey song. I am not sure if the California crowd got the history behind it but this would have over huge in NY or Chicago shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Can't believe it's been 9 years since Jimmy Jacobs was involved in one of the greatest angles in ROH history: Man I was a huge fan back then. I didn't stick around that much after AotF and after a couple of the PPV's. Allegedly, they played the song as Jimmy's farewell last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Some pictures from from Jacobs farewell I pulled off ROHWorld. Much like Drake Younger, I'm really happy for Jacobs now having a job in wrestling that doesn't require him to kill his body for our enjoyment. I loved the progression of Jimmy Loves Lacey, Lacey Loves Jimmy, and the Age of the Fall. I would love to see some of Jacobs work make it to WWE TV. Hopefully, he'll get to write some stuff for Rollins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stay Gold Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 My friend told me about this and I went bonkers for it. I was a huge Jacobs fan back in the day and loved the Jimmy/Lacey stuff. Gotta seek out Supercard to watch this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Spoiler(s) from tonight's taping in San Antonio: Daniels & Kazarian beat Re-Dragon to win the tag belts, which makes me very happy and I really hope they do the "world tag team champions of the world" deal again. Also the KRD turn out to be Daniels, Kazarian, and Chris Sabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Glad they did the KRD reveal. Those videos they were running were so low rent, I couldn't take them seriously. Dear ROH: next time you do an angle like that, please try to make the videos look like something other than a commercial that wold air on the local UHF station circa 3 AM Sunday morning, 1982.

That would require ROH not being owned by Sinclair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The line of the night of this past weekend's ROH goes to Corino. Commenting on the returning (from injury) Ray Rowe: "Rowe looks great, just got out of jail." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I love Steve Corino, guy really is underrated. He brings the comedy but it's generally amusing, and he adds to the matches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Other than his stint where he was screaming about SCUM all the time, Corino has been a damned good color commentator. Definitely a guy WWE should consider bringing in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Didn't Corino get a try out on Metal 14 years back or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I know I've heard him tell a story about a try-out as a writer he did. Which went kind of like this... "This part you just wrote 'Punk cuts a promo'. But you didn't actually write what he's going to say!" "Punk knows how to cut his own promos. I don't need to write them for him." "But how will he know what to say?????" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Guy Named Tracy Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 ROH and NJPW have absolutely loaded their War of the Worlds and Global Wars cards. NJPW is sending over Shinsuke Nakamura, Tanahashi, Naito, Okada, Gedo, Takaaki Watanabe, Liger, and Kushida. It may be wishful thinking, but it would be nice to see some NJPW vs NJPW match-ups.
