BTW, for those who dont get the local affiliate weekend showings, this weeks ROHtv is pretty good. TNAMecca is going to hate it. To quote Dalton Castle, "This is what you want, well this is what I am. Do you want moooore? Well I want it ALL!" :allears:

Match line up:
Kyle O'Reilly against the Addiction
Mark Briscoe cuts a great mumbling monkey-man promo to set up his match against Dijak at BITW
Dalton Castle vs Jushin Thunder Liger
Cheeseburger vs Brutal Bob and they actually put on a good match
Jay Lethal cuts a promo about his BITW champion vs champion match against Jay Briscoe
Mandy Leon continues her vacuous weekly segment
Jay Lethal cuts a promo and calls Lethal "boy" every other sentence
The Kingdom (Taven & Bennett) vs Bullet Club (Doc & Karl) w/Red Shoes as the ref

I don't think Roddy is enough of a name for that kind of deal. He's the coolest but his t-shirt ain't selling out in minutes.

I haven't watched ROH in awhile till last week's first DA show, and I have to say that I really hope the Mark Briscoe/Dijak feud is based around Mark Briscoe being super-impressed by everything Dijak does but still wanting to fight him.

There's no one I'd rather be than me.

Does anyone happen to know if it's still possible to get a ticket to Best in The World from other sources?

Side story, I just bought a ticket to the TV tapings the next night and just realized I can't go.

Seriously, gently caress Jay Lethal and Jay Briscoe leaves me indifferent but Mark is a loving treasure and always captures my attention ergo he should be both TV and World Champ.

Jay Lethal has been very very good for well over a year now and Jay Briscoe is a redneck shitbird so I am very excited for Lethal to beat him.

Also ACH should win the TV belt when Lethal takes the world championship.

I'm curious to see if ROH agrees with that assessment, I could see them putting the TV title on Moose instead.

Yeah no. It's not heel heat. It's channel changing heat. I hate his gimmick, I hate his delivery, and I can't get into him as a main event manager at all.

If anyone on here is getting back into ROH because of this and wants to watch some recent stuff they've missed, you can get a ringside membership on their site for $7.99 a month and watch literally every episode ever of ROH on Sinclair plus the on demand section has every event from 2013 and the first three of 2014.

If you have a lot of free time it's absolutely worth the price.

Black Machismo was pretty awesome, I quite enjoyed the gimmick for a while there.

It's funny, at the time Alvarez talked about the gimmick actually improving Lethal's ring work because it made him slow down a bit. By doing all of Macho Man's spots, his matches ended up having better psychology sometimes.

And even now, he still wrestles that way, except his stunningly stupid finish.

He'll still break out the voice on the occasional podcast (last one I heard was him on Taz's) and it's seriously jarring.

I think I said this in the other thread, but when he was on AoW he talked about how Flair would have visitors and Flair would bring them over to Lethal and ask Lethal to do his Flair impression, and he does his impression of Flair asking him to do his impression of Flair, and it's amazing

I'm watching Impact from around the time Sting showed up in 2006 and there was a dope Samoa Joe promo, that's my thoughts on old Impact.

Holy poo poo, I've never seen this and it's amazing. Flair losing his poo poo is incredible, and about halfway through you can see Lethal fighting back a smile as Flair powers up.
