The ROH Thread

[Ace]

Looks like Davey's trying to break Low Ki's record in alienating himself out of work.

[Playa Shunna Ver 3.0]

A WrestleZone exclusive!!!  Haha Davey Richards,  Why are we still talking about this guy?

[Lee]

Would it be right to presume Chris Hero will be the mystery partner for Eddie Edwards, leading to a Hero vs. Matt Hardy feud for early 2014, or does Hero working the Cage of Death PPV the same night rule that out?

[Valcourt]

Hero is probably going to be all over the BIG indies for at least a few more months before he settles somewhere or takes a few tours in Europe and Japan. 

Him stiffing the crap out of Hardy would be awesome.

 

Hero threw a punch at the FUW show I saw him on that would have made this board explode. 

[Big Fresh]

For some reason, with no evidence for it, I think the mystery partner will be Nigel himself.

[Spontaneous]

I thought Nigel was done and trying to get into the film business? With all his injuries I don't know if it is really worth it.

[BoKnowsWrestling]

if Nigel is ever going to do another match, right now in ROH is not the time

I don't see it being Nigel because, yeah, he's retired due to injuries (and kinda bitter, if his documentary gives an accurate impression).  If they've even hinted he'd be the mystery partner, I missed it.

 

I'm guessing Hero.  That seems like the only feasible "mystery partner" out there that could conceivably satisfy the audience.

 

Which means it will probably be someone completely underwhelming like.... Sean Denny?  Bio-Hazard?  Matt Turner?

Could be Delirious.

[Big Fresh]

Oh yeah. Didn't think of Delirious. That is a safe bet.

[Big Fresh]

Or it could be Matt Sydal. Maybe he was released and nobody in WWE gave a damn enough to talk about it.

Or they just assumed he was released months ago.

[Big Fresh]

In actuality, Sydal being back in ROH would be something that would get me to start paying attention to them again. And it probably is inevitable at this point.

[Ace]

Apparently it looks like it'll be Matt Hardy.

[cool arrow]

That'll go over like a fart in a spacesuit.

[Web Conn]

It wont happen because he has no desire in coming back but Colt Cabana as the mystery partner would get over huge.

[Ace]

[Shawn411]

Nobody cares about Cabana as a wrestler.

[Web Conn]

He's good, he knows what he does best and plays to his strengths. Not saying he should go back to Ring of Honor full time but an unannoced one night return at Final Battle would be pretty cool. That being said Chris Hero is the best choice.

[Territorial]

 

That's not a bad heel promo.  It won't happen, of course, but ROH could hook me a bit with an Edwards-Hardy feud.

[Big Fresh]

No way Hardy goes in that match. But that was a great promo and I'm curious to see where the story goes after Nigel turns him down.

[madsplash]

There have been a few names I've heard thrown around...Styles, Ki, Nigel, Shelley...But yeah I agree it'll probably just be underwhelming.

[cool arrow]

Cheeseburger!

[Big Fresh]

An Alex Shelley return would be awesome. I can get behind ROH built around Hero and Shelley.

[BEN!]

It's going to be Road Warrior Fat Animal.  Mystery Man is always Road Warrior Fat Animal.
