West Newbury Bad Boy 9,857 Posted February 6 Sounds good. I'll take one Ospreay vs Bandido. Thanks. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Magnificent 7 624 Posted February 6 I took my sons and Dad to the Royal Oak show last year and we had an absolute blast. We’ll likely make the pilgrimage to Grand Rapids this year. Looking forward to who is coming over this time from NJ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nice Guy Eddie 19,537 Posted February 7 I can die happy if we ever get PCO vs. Minoru Suzuki. Even a Villain Enterprises/Suzuki-Gun six man would be awesome; maybe Suzuki, ZSJ, and Lance Archer repping Suzuki-Gun. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beech27 2,609 Posted February 8 Capacity is listed as 1100, so this doesn't seem like a venue that should be beyond their means. Have to figure Double or Nothing being in the same town has hurt sales, even if you disregard the roster turnover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archibald 490 Posted February 8 I don't know, its not like Duoble or Nothing is happening same month, or even next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Web Conn 2,491 Posted February 8 why are they running big arenas? They are not gonna sell out by any means they may get a good turn out cuz the PNW is not only starved for but loves wrestling. but running near empty arenas doesn’t help your presentation only hurts it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I'll make it as I'm not sure I want to make the drive just to see Rush, Gresham, the Briscoes, Haskins, Hot Sauce and Cobb. The rest of the guys on the roster I don't like that much. I think ZSJ can be OK with the right opponent, but not Rocky Romero. Tickets are cheap, so if I'm bored and free I may make the trip. Went to this tonight. Haven't been to a ROH show since 2009 and haven't watched ROH tv since the POP days. Thought it sucked to be honest. They have some good talent. Marty, Juice, Bandido, RUSH stick out the most. The tapings just so minor league and without any buzz. Part of that was probably cause they were in Florida. I don't get how Lethal is the champion. So boring. They should give the title to Marty or Juice at the MSG show. Show wasn't worth the drive and I have no desire to watch ROH again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They might do OK. Defy Wrestling draws good crowds whenever they run a show. Granted they don't run 8000 seat arenas though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they are gonna do well. Like 1500-2000 depending on the card. Wrestling is big out there and it's just know becoming accessible. ROH is on TV their on Komo 4 at 11:30 on Saturday so it might get strong ratings. I won't be able to make it, I'll actually be in town the week before but I plan on watching this show.

I opted not to go. Went to Supercard of Honor during WM weekend when they ran Lakeland and I didn't like it. Saw some photos of last nights event and it seemed like they drew really poorly.

AverageKong 47 Posted February 11 Iwatani captured the WOH title. They really did need to do something to strengthen their ties with Stardom and she's not a bad choice. Weird that Klein dropped it with a short reign after how heavy they've pushed her though. She had pyro and a 4 person entourage in her last WOH Wednesday match on their YouTube page.

Oyaji 7,418 Posted February 11 The epiphany finally hit Delirious that she is not good at any aspect of pro wrestling maybe? Hah, going from Klein to Iwatani is quite the upgrade. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageKong 47 Posted February 11 Yeah, Klein hasnt been that good at all. I'm guessing Iwatani is locked in for their big MSG show now and I'm hoping for Tenille as an opponent rather than a KK rematch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nice Guy Eddie 19,537 Posted February 11 I was really surprised they went with Kelly Klein to win the title at Final Battle. Everything from her has looked downright bad. Maybe she can get better in time. Tenille probably gets the title eventually, especially now being part of a faction in line for a big push. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archibald 490 Posted February 11 KK is signed with RoH so I think it is likely that she'll win a rematch at MSG. Yes, KK is bad and Iwatani as the champ would be cool, but she is Stardom's wrestler and RoH probably wants to have their own champ. I think it is understandable, but it is unfortunate that they couldn't find anyone else for that role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey 5,130 Posted February 11 I still think they snuffed out Klein's title reign because BJ Whitmer left, no matter what Wreddit tells me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like literally anybody else on their roster. If Tenille's health concerns are out of the way for now, then she's the obvious choice and under contract (she is, isn't she?). And that would also probably be the best match they could put on as well without using another outsider. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archibald 490 Posted February 11 Not sure about Tenille, I think during Tag Wars they said that she isn't cleared yet so who knows when she'll be ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Fowler 13,338 Posted February 11 The other thing about KK... How the fuck you give the belt to someone whose nickname is The Gatekeeper? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AverageKong 47 Posted February 11 I like the gatekeeper nickname lol. Conceptually KK is supposed to be what the division needs. It's like whoever books the division wanted to create this badass female ala ROH era Sara Del Rey, but they failed to realize that it all needed to translate over in the ring. I dont think she is completely horrible, but I've never bought into how she has been booked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eivion 2,627 Posted February 11 Maybe its because I don't watch ROH often, but Klein looked generally ok in Stardom. Iwatani winning isn't to surprising with the MSG show coming up and Stardom having a show just the day before as well. It helps give the WOH belt a little more cred and gives them a potential good match at MSG depending on who Iwatani defends against. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
