zev Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I nitpick the syndicated show sure, but I still like the idea of it being on the Sinclair networks on the weekends. They still have solid matches, and the Christopher Daniels story arc has actually played out well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 They have the tools there to be a good promotion. Poor, lazy, unimaginative booking is holding them back. I actually think losing the Bucks and Cole may help them but the Bucks aren't going anywhere. How Dalton Castle isn't their champ or at least a TV champ at this point is absurd. His matches are good, sometimes very good, his character is the best thing ROH has had in a long time, and his promos are great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo~! Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I heard that Dalton Castle has left/is leaving ROH? Along with Adam Cole and Bobby Fish? Was there any truth to that? I guess my biggest fear of WWE buying ROH is that means that Corino/BJ Whitmer feud could continue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, WWE, if anything don't buy ROH so this doesn't theoretically happen! Although Punishment Martinez would be worth using if they were so inclined. But if this sale goes down at least Daniels finally became World Champion. He was the one guy that didn't have it that really should have, especially after all this time. And he's still really, really good so it's not like it's a token Lifetime Achievement award type thing. So at least they got that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if he's leaving, but he's not left yet. As for Corino/Whitmer: Nooooooooo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo~! Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 It was mentioned on Bauer and Pollock that he (Castle) was leaving, but Bauer is a shit stirrer so I don't know how much truth was in that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Here's another thing, if Sinclair sells to anyone there goes most of their television markets. They air on some none Sinclair channels but the majority of the markets they air in are on Sinclair stations. Their television presence will suffer greatly from Sinclair pulling out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I'd like to think that whatever is happening is a long-con to make sure that there is nowhere left for Daniel Bryan to wrestle in a year and a half. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny that the areas that were ROH's strongest markets during the glory days (Philly, NYC, NJ) are markets that now don't get the syndicated show. My options for watching the syndicated show were limited to watching online and the period they were on Destination America. During the Gabe era, I gladly shelled out for every dvd. Now, buying an ROH dvd doesn't even cross my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Nigel Mcguiness is actually the new Paul Heyman. ROH is the WCW/ECW Alliance and NXT is the WWF. It will end in ROH vs. NXT at Survivor Series weekend in a winner take all 5 on 5 match.

And Ohno and Austin Aeries were in discussion with joining ROH just before a 3 way for the title? But in the end it's Nakamura who leads the ROH Invasion for no reason? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Folks think of NXT as Triple H's gem. Rollins had years in ROH and interrupted a Takeover event once already. Their feud won't end at Mania, Rollins will lead the invasion. As for creepy wife pictures, don't remind folks...as I think Whitmer was going that in his feud with Corino. But the big question will be about Sami Zayn. "Whose side is he on?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 If WWE buys ROH and shutters it, I doubt they'd be interested in all but a handful of the guys still there. What it would do is re-stock the lower-tier indies and TNA. All in all, a pretty bad deal for wrestlers, though. WWE is slowly encroaching on the British scene, which is great, and killing ROH to add content to the Network that no one will ever have time to watch is a bummer.
