I didn't understand Brody King hitting PCO for Scurl, but I dug the dynamicism of PCO. And yeah,that ref bump during the women's match was one of the worst things I've seen on TV wrestling. Yeesh. In the top 10 worst ref bumps of all time. You could hear the crowd booing and then he had to stay down for so long to bring Manik in that it just got progressively funnier. Liked the main event quite a bit. Liked Poffo’s random catchphrase commentary where it was fairly clear he knew little to nothing about the wrestlers so he just said...stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 That Ref bump reminded me of those awful women's matches in Ring Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Scurll’s deal will expire on November 30, and there are many who believe he will be headed to AEW. ROH is trying to make an offer to keep him around. There’s also interest from WWE for Scurll to appear on NXT. Jeff Cobb and Bandido both have contracts coming up, and the biggest deal with them is that they want to work as much with NJPW as possible. It’s believed that a lot of companies have interest in Bandido, although it’s possible he ends up not signing with anyone and becomes a top independent draw, similar to Pentagon and Fenix. Brody King’s contract is also set to expire in the next few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Per the Luchablog story that you were all too lazy to click Quote This contract is a significant career achievement for Flamita. A wrestler who was once considered too small for CMLL now has a deal with a US promotion. It isn’t technically Flamita’s first deal with a US group – a short stint with Lucha Underground ended unhappily, and this one can only end up better. It does mean some changes. Flamita has been a frequent guest wrestler in Dragon Gate since 2013. As best I know, that will come to an end for now and Ring of Honor will be top priority. MLW and Impact both came up this past year as Flamita destinations in 2019. He did appear in both, but no deal was signed. Flamita wrestles in AAA but seems to be a freelancer there as well. ROH officially has an alliance with CMLL in Mexico but has not stood in the way of their wrestlers working AAA when CMLL hasn’t been interested in them. In practice, Bandido worked a lot less with AAA once ROH bookings took over, though he returns to the promotion later this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caley Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Where's @DEAN's weekly review?

paintedbynumbers Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 What is the excuse for not uploading the 2003-2008 shows on Honor Club?? Arguably the best shows they ever had and yet they don't make them readily available. Is there a reason why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how far superior those year were compared to now I don't think they're in a hurry at all to put that up. But for all we know it could be due to music licensing/overdubbing for entrances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no comment on the status of the Women of Honor Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
