So do we have a card for this Thursday's ROH show? Is there one?

They're taping it instead of Elevation this week before Dynamite. I think I can guess one Emi Sakura vs. Athena and Luchablog said Vikingo will be at St. Louis but other than that, who knows.

Curious about that because it was always weird to me that ROH trained guys only ever showed up on the lower card of ROH shows and no where else (maybe Grizzly showed up on chikara once idk). I always assumed it was just cause they were super mid but they’re also on cards with the best in the world so how else would they look?

Missed this. Basically Northeast indies had their own schools and if they were going to book students they would book their own, and didn't really want to book ROH students. So they got to a point where it was hard to get better bookings even though several of the students were legitimately pretty talented for their experience level.

This is going to be an insane weekend of wrestling and Supercard of Honor is a hell of a way to kick off the weekend. (even though technically I think The Collective stuff starts as early as Thursday, maybe?)

I feel like maybe that Hayter match reminded him of how good she can be? She’s been more high profile since then.

I forget where but Tony said RoH will be the show he wants to book, not the one he's booking for the ratings. Glad to see that includes Emi.

There's a part of me that suspects that Hero might be coming into ROH to cost Eddie the title and this video has only stoked that further

There's zero chance of a BDK reunion but I'd loving mark myself to death if I heard Engel on Friday.

Hero would be great too. KoW would give a lot of legitimacy and uniqueness to the ROH tag division.

Chris Hero in AEW has been one of my biggest wants since the start, so if he did this I would lose my goddamn mind with glee. I just wanna see the guy wrestle anywhere again :(

That was a good video, though it would’ve been nice to at least show a bit about how they’ve traded victories in ROH in 2009.

You have a good point.

Thing about Chris Hero in Chikara is that he was a major part of the early years, but left at the end of 2007 due to different Quack-related frustrations. Since then, fans constantly expected him to come back down the line and regularly fantasy-booked his return... to the point that the Chikara forum would replace "Chris Hero" with some other name. When Eddie talked poo poo about Claudio and "his partner," the point was to invoke the idea of Hero for the sake of misdirection. When the BDK was dramatically revealed later that night, part of it was that Ares (who was also one of Claudio's former tag partners) was one of the leaders. So Eddie was really cutting a promo on Ares the whole time.

The fact that they threw in that Hero footage during the promo, when it ultimately wasn't about Hero, is telling.

Hero replacing Danielson in the BCC also works, given how much Euripean influence he uses.

When Tekken 6 introduced the character Bob, I always loved how silly and ridiculous his backstory was. Then Chris Hero got fired from WWE and lived Bob's storyline for real. It's fantastic.

BDK wasn't really supernatural. They were just the Euro nWo.
