Oh for real? I checked the page today and the only confirmed star I saw was Cody. Is anyone else confirmed, or is that more of an "It's Final Battle, they're gonna have a stacked card"

The second one. ROH and PWG share a good deal of talent, and they've been bringing in more NJPW guys lately.

CMLL's Triton announced for Field of Honor. He's got big muscles and can do extremely graceful feats of agility. Really excited to see more of CMLL's directionless but talented midcard work America more in the future.

Welcome to Moonside.

Moonwel ot cosidme.
If the people in question love NJPW and PWG then ROH should be totally up their alley because they have considerable crossover with both, especially for Final Battle which is one of their biggest shows of the year so they'll likely fly in at least a few NJPW guys. Presumably the show is earlier in December than usual to create more space between it and Wrestle Kingdom so the NJPW talent can work both shows.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



Just watched the Lethal/O'Reilly match on ROH TV. It amazes me how they can tell such a compelling story with such an amazing match, and WWE puts on such constant poo poo shows.


And Keith Lee is going to be a star.

Both promotions are good, wrestling is good. Catching up on ROH, they're turning Jay face I guess?

He's cool when he wears the black tights and assassin robe. The current Union Jack gear is corny as poo poo though.

On the subject of ROH: how the hell are they running a stable named the Cabinet when WWE already used that name for a quasi-political stable? The writing has been pretty lazy and downright bad lately.

ROH and CMLL are going into a working agreement.

Wrestling Observer posted:

On Wednesday afternoon, Ring of Honor's official Twitter account retweeted a link from the Spanish-language mediatiempo.com announcing that ROH and CMLL have entered into an official working relationship.

The two promotions are natural partners, as both have strong relationships with New Japan Pro Wrestling.

The article notes that an official talent exchange between the two companies has been agreed to, and the crossover of talent began last month when CMLL's Stuka Jr. competed at ROH's TV tapings in Philadelphia against Kamaitachi.

ROH's Matt Taven will be headed to Mexico later this year and will compete for CMLL on September 9th at Arena Mexico.

That show will be just days after CMLL holds what is usually one of the biggest wrestling events of the year with the 83rd edition of their anniversary show. CMLL announced the full card for that show today, with Dragon Lee vs. La Mascara headlining it in a mask vs. mask match.

Dragon Lee will be making his ROH debut later this year at All Star Extravaganza VII.

Cedric was always allowed to have great matches. They just didn't do anything with them. That's bad in its own right but anyone who watched ROH and didn't realize Cedric was awesome before this week is weird

Honestly I don't remember a ton of great matches out of him in ROH. He was always in a position where it felt like he was going to get into that feud that really cemented him with a classic match and it never happened. He had a match that was a bit below that level with Roddy but the stip probably kept it from hitting the next level. He had some really good tags, but I dunno, it felt like he'd get momentum and then they'd decide to go with someone else.

Then there's Ciampa who ROH decided to push before he was really ready as they saw something in him, he didn't get over, got injured as he was getting great and over, came back and they saw him as a guy who wasn't going to get over on top. (Or they knew wouldn't sign long term and didn't want to put him on top.)

Was there a booker change during Ciampa's injury layoff, because I seem to recall something about Cornette being really high on him and Delirious not.

i kinda miss the old days of pre-tv roh when they ran maybe 2-5 events per month but 3 of them would feel like actual PPVs. something about that format made for more intriguing storylines than the current state of it

like, roh still has really good in ring product, and the storylines aren't BAD, but there just doesn't seem to be anything there to make me turn on my tv on saturdays. it just doesn't feel special.

You should turn your TV on Saturday aka today then because you've missed a month of their best shows in a long time. You can also 'Turn Your Monitor On' and watch that past month as well at http://rohwrestling.com/tv/current
