Technico Support Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 21 minutes ago, caley said: It's kinda fascinating who many times ROH has had a guy go out in the first round, only to heavily use them later: Dalton Castle in 2015, Cheeseburger in 2014, Adam Page and ACH in 2013, and future World Champion Adam Cole in 2011. Shit, now you have me looking through the history of the Top Prospect Tournament to see what other randos were in it in various years. QT Marshall. What ever happened to that guy? He was garbage and I couldn't believe he was pushed as a member of the House of Truth for a while. Chubby, balding, old-looking for his age and not in that cool, Arn Anderson way. He did have a sweet robe but you combined that with the rest of his look and you got every mid-90s east coast indy weekend warrior ever. I always enjoyed Tadarious Thomas but I believe he retied from wrestling. Why do I keep thinking J. Diesel and Will Ferrara are the same person? LOL Brian Fury. When you take your wrestling name from a Tekken character, it's time to rethink things. Also, "Fury" is up there with "Storm" in the category "wrestling surnames that need to be retired yesterday."

For a while there, he didn't wrestle too far away from his home in Gloucester, VA because he wanted to stay close to family. Can't say that I blame him.

And how is it possible Jeff moves around the ring better than Matt? Jeff should be held together with string and crazy glue at this point. Matt's got his fucked up jimmylegs, which have degraded over time. Meanwhile. Jeff got surgery a year or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 QT Marshall is hosting a seminar during Mania weekend in Orlando, so he is probably still wrestling. He did have an amazing robe though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROH's travel schedule its bad at all comparatively. It's what maybe two weeks a month and just Friday, Saturday. Still leaves plenty of time for family and Virginia indies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of that story in Jericho's book about Mexican customs guys wearing his belt when he worked in Mexico and dancing around and Jericho getting mad and yelling at them, at which point he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around and shoved a woman working for Airport security to the ground, then the other guys drawing guns before they heard a loud "WHAT'S GOING ON DERE?" and Haku/Meng/Tonga showed up and he and Jericho stood back-to-back ready to battle airport security in Mexico. Ultimately, they had to bribe the guards to let them go. Also, for a TV main event with your World Champion, #1 contender for the WC, #1 contedner for the TV title, #1 contenders for the Tag Titles and former WC, there was a LOT of schtick in that match: the extended triple dive with the boys interrupting, the repeating brainbuster spot, etc. etc. It was fun, and the right guy got the pinfall. I really dug that Hardyz-Briscoes match, though, maybe cuz it was largely schtick-free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffy-haired Meng is about the only thing that could make the story better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm thinking Puffy Haired Meng would make many stories better. Example: Humpty Dumpty had a great fall...to avoid the Tongan Death Grip. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Brian Fury had been around nearly 20 years before he was in the "Top Prospect" tournament and made it to the finals...so he probably had the "Fury" moniker before a lot of other guys did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's sure to be a good one. And the show itself looks awesome on paper so I'm definitely looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Sitting here and so far the card has sucked imo. I'm just not seeing why I should realistically care for any of these matches so far. By far the worse event I've been to WM weekend so far. Hopefully the remaining matches change things around. Edit: That didn't really change. The ladder match was cool, but nothing really special.

caley Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I loved that DB Smith-Ray Rowe match this week on ROH TV. Smith looked like a monster and that spot where he slammed Rowe's leg onto the table was really neat. Thought for sure that Smith would go over and it would make him as a new contender in ROH, but, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Sinclair'w going to have to loosen up the purse strings and get a new booker or I don't think ROH will be around in 5 years. That or sell them to a Flo Slam or Fite TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yeah but that wouldn't be good for the industry. The McMahon family obviously aren't students of history. Empires crumble. I also said Flo Skam cause they made a sizable offer to Sinclair to purchase ROH and Sinclair said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even bother to post 1 new Women's match on YouTube anymore. The only real build has been Klein's win streak, except I think Mandy and Taeler had a brief feud. Brief as in one a handful of backstage vignettes and 1 or 2 matches. I think Candice, Jessica, Solo Darling and others not currently in the ROH dojo/school are only brought in on rare occasion.
