DEAN Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I watched the last two weeks shows today (for some reason Sinclair airs the second half of one of their political shows during the scheduled first half hour of ROH sometimes so I have to wait a week to get the second half). I dug the 8 man elimination match, especially Kenny King and Jay Lethal being dicks to each other though they were on the. same team. The tacked-on Taven/Rush stuff at the end was kinda comical. Shane Taylor versus Jeff Cobb was the most I've been interested in Shane Taylor ever. Two fat boys crushing each other with power moves would be a nice change of pace, The Scurl/Bandido match was a perfectly fine indie main event with two hundred finishes too many.

DEAN Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I'm digging the Villain Enterprises vs LifeBlood feud- just because it gets guys like Mark Haskins in fun tag matches as opposed to indie dream matches and I can dig his offense against really good rudos. Haskins and Bandido is waay more fun than they ever ought to be, and one can thank Scurll and King. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB-13 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Also gets some fresh blood into the tag title picture which has eternally been "Briscoes and whoever they're fighting". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The totally fucking carny photos of a convalescing PCO helped sell that match to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I have no idea about the politics involved in any of this but would the fact NJPW sent Shota on excursion to the UK instead of ROH (When you would think he'd be a guy they'd be thrilled to have because he is already a name to their audience due to the Moxley association) be a big sign their relationship is on the rocks?

AxB Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Any argument you could make for sending him to ROH, you could make just as convincingly for sending him to England. We can get NJPW World over here too. New Japan just ran a show in London (last month?) and it seemed to do quite well, business and fan reaction wise.

Jenalysis Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I'd argue Narita going to the LA Dojo instead of ROH might be more of a sign that ROH/NJPW relationship is on the rocks. NJPW controls the LA Dojo, but LA Dojo doesn't do shows. I would not be surprised if Narita ends up working a lot of west coast indies and NWA instead.

Archibald Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 LA Dojo guys where on some RoH shows so for all we know they might pop up for some of their next events as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Just checked out his Cagematch page. He never lost a match in RevPro! And he hasn’t wrestled since February? Is he hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Aren't current NXT deals actually good after they got a TV deal? Or was Dave comparing it to their old developmental deals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenalysis Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) The Great-O-Kharn discovered the Wonders of Cook-Out on the New Beginning Tour and spends his days now randomly ordering all the milkshakes and burger with a quesadilla while someone in the car constantly yells "undefeated!" at the drive-thru. He comes back looking as big as Mr.Juicy and feuds with Okada over who has the better burgers. Edited September 26, 2019 by alstein 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Rush winning the RoH belt the same day CMLL fires him is par for the course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpatrongrande Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Dragon Lee also got fired from CMLL as well, but I doubt both him and Rush will be hurting for work, plenty of places will book both guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Supposedly Dragon Lee got fired for working the Battle of Los Angeles, which featured top AAA talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Also, Bestia fired too. Mistico appears to be staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) So if they fire Rush and Dragon Lee then I guess it is safe to say that the ROH-CMLL relationship is dead? Obviously Rush and Dragon Lee is signed to ROH contracts (actually should never say obviously with these idiots) Edited September 28, 2019 by hammerva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
