Curt McGirt Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Cheeseburger sold out of merch in Japan. Weird that he wasn't there. Judging from what I've seen, Gedo curses in English almost much as I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 That doesn't make the ROH guys look strong at all. I'll still order the replay since I didn't see it yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I was in the crowd I thought they were all right. The only thing I found odd was a New Day Sucks chant broke out during the six man. I found that out of place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I know not every Grudge Match can finish like Magnum vs. Tully, but a Roll-Up for the win in Page vs. Whitmer? They're going to stretch that feud out till Corino's neck heals, aren't they? Goto's deal is that he loses a lot lately, right? Castle is the big entrance showman of ROH, and they had their match in Vegas. So Goto winning makes sense how? @Web Conn: Did the Lethal match end clean, or was it the usual House of Truth interference that lead to the Injection?

MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Did the Lethal match end clean, or was it the usual House of Truth interference that lead to the Injection? Totally clean, because Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly looked like the biggest idiots in some sequences and were wide open for the finish, fighting in the middle of the ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Truth Martini and the setup for the Lethal Injection are what's keeping me from enjoying Jay Lethal as ROH World Champion. If Lethal used the Savage elbow and it were just he and Taeler Hendrix, I would be on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 So all the NJ guys went over. Interesting. When they work over here, NJPW actually stands for No Jobs Pro Wrestling That doesn't make the ROH guys look strong at all. I'll still order the replay since I didn't see it yesterday. I thought the same thing but then I realized it doesn't matter. ROH is a promotion aimed squarely at smart marks who apparently don't care. ROH is just NJPW's minor league. The fans wanted to see a New Japan showcase at the expense of the ROH roster and that's what they got. I'm still amazed that the ROH roster went 0-5, though. There's got to be some middle ground between "their guys shouldn't beat our guys (TM Kevin Dunn) and outright whoring your promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B. Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 They did a lot better at the taping: Cole beat Kushida, Lethal beat Goto, reDRagon beat Okada/Gedo(though no guesses who ate the pin), and War Machine beat Roppongi Vice.On the other side of the ledger: Ishii beat Cedric, Tanahashi & Elgin beat the Bucks, and Omega beat A.C.H.

On the other side of the ledger: Ishii beat Cedric, Tanahashi & Elgin beat the Bucks, and Omega beat A.C.H. Maybe it's the Bret Hart logic that it's better to get the win on regular television instead of on pay per view, as more people would see that?

zev Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I watch the ROH tv show every week, but rarely see the PPV events. Several of those tv taping matches have my interest, and I now look forward to them, but I'm still puzzled as to that many NJ victories over the weekend.

Ramo2653 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Finally got around to watching the PPV. I can't figure out if the spot with Cole stopping Lethal's hand from falling for the third time was great or really stupid. *Edit So Lio Rush is going to die for our sins against Ishii?
