And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

He was only buying used as a temporary challenger, ala Eric Young in NXT, while they find a more suitable challenger. It was totally the right call to book him to lose. It's not supposed to make Colt look strong, it's supposed to make Lethal look strong.

On the other hand, Jay's pretty much beaten the entire ROH heavyweight roster, so at least a Colt win would have freshened it up a bit, even if he was a transitional champion.

I think people would buy more into Colt than they would Dijak.

Otherwise I think Lethal is going to get paired off with dudes he's already beaten. Roddy can't even win a TV title #1 Contenders match, Jay and Mark Brisco just lost to War Machine so lol if they get a chance, too soon for Moose, O'Reilly lost to Naito, and Cole lost at the Anniversary show so short of "Bullet Club" I'm not sure how he is in line for a shot.

Dave says the new PPV will be Jay Briscoe with a shot. I think if they're going to make the Bullet Club the focus of the show, they really should have the plan to be the leader going for the shot, but in a heel way of sending the lower guys at the champ first to weaken him. Like Cole's shot being after Lethal gets beat up by the Guerrillas, and then get super kicked to hell or something. Definitely not a shot anytime soon as stupid as that sounds.

Also, go look at who Nigel beat when he was champ, how many times he faced guys like Steen or Go Shizaki. Lethal hasn't run through everyone yet, and even if he does can face them again before it even reaches some of the Nigel stuff towards the end.

Those guys should protect themselves but I'm gonna be kinda depressed if Indont see either guy in a singles match after travelling all the way to NYC.

so... other than missing out on Rocky Romero and not getting to see Liger in a singles match (which, hey, I saw him at TakeOver last year, so that's okay), that card seems completely overall better, assuming it stays in place. I'd love to see Tanahashi in a singles match. if he can't do a singles, maybe they could team him up with Elgin? that would be incredible

Adam Page is cool, glad Gedo likes him.

Do the Addiction already have an announced title match at BITW? So there's no chance War Machine get the titles back in NY?

Only real big thing about the old card was having Okada and Tanhashi team up for the first time since Okada returned to NJPW as Tanahashi's rival.

It is astounding how badly ROH repeatedly dropped the ball with Cedric compared to where he was two years ago. Hope he tears it up in the Cruiserweight Classic, if that's really where he's going.

Good point, tho I wish Okada and Tana's places would've been switched simply because that would've meant there was still
hope for Hiroshi Tanahashi as ROH champ

Delirious's relationship with race is an interesting one. Ever notice how Veda is always with black men in ROH? Delirious says he loves getting hate mail from people about it.

He has high hopes for Faye Jackson Big Booty Trudy. She trains at the ROH dojo. He is a huge black comedy fan. Coming to America is his favorite movie legit.

At the same time he has given a pretty decent push to Moose.

But I've always wondered why Cedric wasn't able to break through the glass ceiling. Those who I consider good judges of talent and character all hold Cedric in high regard on both counts.

Cedric felt like a Tomasso Ciampa type deal where you know the guy has something and ROH just gives up on him at an obvious time, it's like you tell the "CONTRACT MONTHS REMAINING" pop up appears for Delirious and thus they get just worse chances. I can think of a million things to do with Cedric Alexander. Too many black awesome wrestlers?

Dalton Castle is my favorite wrestler in ROH. He's not as good as the best wrestler on the roster (Bobby Fish) but his greasy, oozing charisma puts him over the top for me.
