caley Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Boy, they're not telegraphing this Christopher Daniels winning the Decade of Excellence tourney at all, are they?! *winkwink* Adam Cole coming out and saying how he's going to destroy Dalton Castle, then either Jay Lethal or Brisco and when asked about Daniels he says "Come on, no one really thinks he's going to win, do they?!" They made it as obvious as can be. I was surprised how much I liked Marty Scurll vs Juice Robinson. Haven't seen any of Juice in NJPW but he was kind of a channel-changer in the ring in NXT (Though I loved his evil hippie character and palm strike finisher) but he was pretty game here. Still think Scurll does way too much schtick to call himself a "villain" but whatever... Jay Brisco needs to shave his head again. Adam Cole making fun of his hair on commentary made me laugh pretty hard. Oh yeah, happy to see the Tempura Boys get a title shot, they've come a long way in the last year or so (They were all over the place in CMLL last year, including some groan-inducing botches and some fun double-teams). I think the name needs to go, but nobody wants to invest much time/gimmick in them knowing they'll just get repackaged when they get back to NJPW anyways.

jstout Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hell, I can't even really tell if Juice Robinson is a face or heel in NJPW, but he has got the whole babyface fist-pumping ring entrance down to a science. I would love, for some reason, to see him and Bo Dallas as a greasy, long-haired, fist-pumping, jacket-wearing, big-smiling classic 1980s tribute tag team. The Hot Bodied Rock Guys or some such. Otherwise, though, he's kinda the definition of "not much." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 I am going back and forth with myself with dropping them cold in front of that crowd is a good idea or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 You could have them work Women of Honor before the main show so a good portion of the crowd knows who they are already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Quote Kevin Kelly, who has served as the voice of Ring of Honor since 2010, departed the company this week, PWInsider.com has confirmed. Kelly had taken a full-time job with the company in their office last year, juggling his announcing duties with logistical duties that were meant to ease the pressures on ROH booker Hunter Johnston. At the time Kelly took the full time job, he had told PWInsider.com that he was there to work as a liaison between the wrestlers and the office to insure better communications and to help spearhead projects that ROH needed to work on, such as a streaming service and an updated website. So in the span of about a month they have lost there primary voice (Kelly), one of their secondary voices (Nigel), and nobody really knows if Steve Corino is with the company anymore Yeah big trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 How would Corino be a trainer with WWE and do ROH commentary? How many people have left ROH the past 6 months or so? Seems like a lot. The company just screams mediocrity and complacency, so I can't really blame them. I don't think it would be that hard to upgrade on Kevin Kelly, though I'm admittedly not a fan of his work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Watching the New Japan show on AXS then watching ROH back to back really highlighted how similar the Young Bucks matches were spot wise. I'm sure most wrestlers are like that but it was kinda jarring to see it in action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 They use many of the same sequences every match. Because they're so spectacular, they stand out more, though I don't think they're super formulaic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 RoH will be in B'More at the William J. Myers Pavilion the weekend after Supercard of Honor (April 8th). No announcements on the card yet. Bell time is 2PM. Nice to get an afternoon show for a change so you don't have to fight nighttime traffic on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My solution was to leave after the 1 match i wanted to see, which was nicely the first match on the show. I was home in time to watch the start of whatever game of the world series was played later that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
