Overly Critical Man Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 One thing that annoyed me was the narrator suddenly switching from a man to a woman during the Elgin video package right before the main event. That seemed low rent and amateurish. Elgin without a mullet will take some getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 So Moose was either really nervous or his mic skills need some work but i'm looking forward to this impending feud with RD Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed low rent and amateurish. Elgin without a mullet will take some getting used to. It was Larry Mercer and Mandy Leon. Mercer was absolutely fine. Leon can read and memorize things, but her delivery is wooden as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I like how a lot of the reviews for the show have mentioned that there was a lot of good wrestling, but there was not that blow away moment or blow away match that would make ROH stand apart from WWE or TNA. I think people forget that ROH is just not capable of that in 2014 with the current crop of talent they have, or that's what I've taken from the few clips I've seen here and there. Also, I think ROH knows that it basically has to outlast TNA's bankruptcy to overtake TNA, and this show was probably light years ahead of most of what TNA has put out in recent months. EDIT: "Bits of Stuffing Instead of Potatoes?" What the hell did I type to get such a weird autocorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 You're right. The problem in my opinion with ROH is two-fold. One, the core of the promotion isn;t young guys anymores, but guys who have been around for 10+ years and either haven't been picked up by WWE/TNA or were discarded by them: Briscoes, Roderick, Jimmy Jacobs, BJ Whitmer, Daniels, Kazarian, Matt Hardy, Jay Lethal. Go back to the summer of 2005 and all but one or two of these guys are on every show and not many of them are doing anything different today. Two, ROH used to be the place where you could see the top talent on the Indies and that's not the case anymore. Gargano, Richochet, AR Fox, the list goes on and I'm not saying that these guys are or are not better than the ROH roster, but they are some of the top names on the Indies and haven't been to ROH. The Evolve/DGUSA formation really hurt ROH in my eyes especially considering Gabe's best quality is his ability to find young talent that's going to be something.

Ace Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 One positive about the show is that it made me want to see more of some of the guys. Especially Thomas, Coleman, and Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Good lord, I can't remember Henery Hawk's actual name, but he's the only other framistan (other than framistan and stuffing instead-of potatoes) I can actually remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hard to believe that there's still a framistan for "pro-duct", but the Benoit framistan is longer with us. Edit: Apparently, there is no longer a framistan for Rob Feinstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 There were a few other framistans that always made me laugh. I remember when "jump the shark" was replaced with "sex with grandma" for a while. I also have no recollection what it was replacing, but there was a period where a ton of posts had "BOP SHE BOP SHE BOP" in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I think humped your mom was the original jumped the shark framistan, but then a board meltdown happened and Dean's old man memory Changed it to sew with grandma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakigatame Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I bought the show and enjoyed it a lot. My biggest gripe was in the main event, Elgin's leg was so damaged he couldn't run but thirty seconds later he can do three powerbombs, but that's the indies.

Sublime Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Yeah the triple powerbomb at the end was something that I wasn't a big fan of one because of the leg and two by the third one the impact of the big win was kind of gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
