Big Fresh Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I think he's more like their lackey more than a full member. Rookies carrying the bags of veterans and all that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstout Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'll spoiler this, since it's part of the Supercard results, but: Now that Jay Lethal's a heel, he should start doing the Macho Man stuff again and call every single babyface "Hogan" and claim they're trying to take Miss Elizabeth away from him. "Miss Elizabeth" could be his pet name for his title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 On the ROH tv show aired here Jay Lethal is doing some commercials for one of those payday loan places. I don't know why (maybe it's the way Lethal always strikes me as incredibly corny in his promos) but it strikes me as funny for some reason. Perhaps it's something to do with hierarchy of advertisement spots from promotion to promotion. WWE has guys shilling national corporations, I remember TNA had someone doing ads for some insurance company, and ROH guys are doing check payday loan ads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Here Lethal shills for Ilio DiPaolo's restaurant. I prefer the Michael Elgin commercial for the scrap metal recycling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb82 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 My Review of This Week's TV with Evans/Young and Ciampa/Lethal from Supercard of Honor VIII The presentation of Evans and his streak is all messed up with the announce team getting into it. It's about damned time for the Lethal turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 RD Evans streak is awesome. Maybe that's because whenever he wrestles, I get to see Veda Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drshowtime Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 He also makes the dusty finish look like a billion dollars. What did people think of Steen/Elgin? I have it probably in my top 5 for MOTY right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Am I the only one who thinks Silas Young's finisher doesn't really fit his character? Seems to me the Last Real Man's finishing move should be a punch to the face or something, not a flippy gymnastic thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 PPV. Isn't that a dead technology now? Especially charging $25 a pop? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 PPV. Isn't that a dead technology now? Especially charging $25 a pop? My first thought as pretty much the same. In a day and age where the Network exists going back to PPV is archaic. I know RoH won't get any of my money by doing this. Maybe it makes short term business sense, I don't know, but long term it seems like a step backwards instead of a step forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Mania doing 400,000 buys on traditional ppv means it might not be totally dead. Of course, hard to tell what % of tjat numbers was people with the network who wanted to be safe Also, possibly with no wwe ppvs, the cable/dish companies mau have given ROH a good deal to fill the hole in their peogramming.

Spritenaut 32 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 $25 for a PPV isn't going to be what keeps ROH from getting my money, ROH being a poor imitation of what it was less than a decade ago is going to be what keeps them from getting my money. I'd happily pay $25 if Punk and the Embassy were on the card. RD Evans and Jay Lethal are a lot tougher sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Correct me if I am wrong but this is a company that can't figure out how to do a live IPPV not they are going to try a live TV PPV with a time limit to get things done. I hope that the technology to do a PPV on TV is a lot easier than on the net. Yeah $25 is just stupid. I assume it is $25 for all versions and not $35 for an HD version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I would think if they are on real PPV and not IPPV, they will get a real comapny to do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Also, could thus lead to NJPW being on real PPV in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doubting El Dandy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Soooooo $25 bucks for an ROH PPV with Jay Briscoe headlining or two months of the network with Danielson headlining plus all the other content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I would think if they are on real PPV and not IPPV, they will get a real comapny to do it now. Sinclair is a TV company, I'm sure sat shots are in their wheelhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Ignoring the feasibility aspect for a second - wouldn't you think on your first PPV poster for the masses, you would put everyone's name on the poster just to help educate curious new folks (especially ones who don't currently get ROH TV)? And don't you think you would have found a more flattering photo of Matt Hardy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 On the poster I saw it looks like Matt is in his pajamas and just got finished smoking a bowl. I would have used a pic of him from 1999. I would have also featured Maria more, and yes....names would have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
