if wrestling were still booked like a straight up and down fight, size would be more of a factor. With personality being a much bigger drawing factor than physical presence, people like Dalton Castle stand to make people(including himself, if he plays his cards right) a lot of money.

It's not every day you walk down the road to see one of those video advert signs proudly tell you ROH is gonna be within walking distance of your house in a few months. That's the kind of thing I usually find out the day after an event, so pretty happy about that even if i haven't followed ROH specifically in quite some time.

Hoping the card will have some flippy poo poo as my poor wife agreed to come with me, and that's the only style that she remotely cares for. Even though as a nurse, she has to give me a lecture on why suicide dives and the like are just such a bad idea.

Cross posting from the indie thread about PCW's relationship with ROH.

PCW posted:

WHAT HAPPENED WITH RING OF HONOR
As always I believe in being honest with the fans. With Ring Of Honor booking a show in Liverpool on November 18th, the exact same day as PCW are running in Liverpool we do not feel this is something that should happen between promotions in partnership with each other. My frustrations have been documented in multiple emails to ROH management but they seem dismissive of my concerns and little options given to resolve. I do not feel I can justify and contribute what would be around $15,000 of PCW money towards flights and visas when the very talent I am helping bring over are running against me in the same town on the same night. I do also feel that this should have been made known to me before it was announced as previous mentions to me of ROH in the UK on the 18th were referenced as 'shows around London'. My other concern is Liverpool is also just a 40min drive/train from Preston so would also have a negative effect on the draw of the following weekend (November 25th & 26th) events too and this has been reflected by poor ticket sales as of late.

UK talent are setting the world on fire right now in PWG, Evolve, WWE Cruiserweight Series plus other places. I do not see why they overlooked PCW talent such as Dave Mastiff, Bubblegum, El Ligero, Martin Kirby and Lionheart as ROH could have had the UK invasion before others even considered it. I know the PCW talent also have grown frustrated as many times I put them on standby when told by ROH that PCW talent is wanted to be used on shows and given intended dates but it never happened. I was so keen to help PCW talent make a name for themselves in the USA that I offered to pay 50% of their flights as I was so confident in the PCW roster's ability to perform when given the chance.

The PCW Cruiserweight title situation was disappointing too as I was promised that Adam Cole would wear it on ROH branded shows (including TV) in the USA so was frustrating to see this not happen and does indicate how much PCW partnership is valued by ROH.

I had been promised that ROH will push the PCW/ROH dates of November 25th and 26th but still there was no mention of the shows on their social media or website. It's clear they are going to favour their own shows but when I am told something I expect it as the money I was contributing towards travel is not something that PCW can afford to throw away.

The UK scene is the strongest it has been in decades right now and a partnership with a UK based wrestling promotion should be something to celebrate. I am very thankful to ROH for the past two years of events and it is just a shame a partnership that could be so much more never did reach its true potential. I have never asked for a penny from ROH towards my shows and have given them some very good exposure to the UK market so this really was a no lose scenario for the ROH brand. I have no hard feelings about how things with Ring Of Honor have gone and wish them the best of luck on their UK tour. I do personally apologise to the talent who have lost a weekend of work but when I did sense things taking a turn for the worse, I did not actually book any of the ROH roster for this November.

In closing there really is no bitterness, regret or resentment towards ROH or any staff member and we are thankful for the working relationship while it lasted. I really must make each decision for the good of PCW and that is why we must do our own thing going forwards for the reasons listed above. I do hope there is no resentment my way from this statement as I am only trying to be open and honest about the reason for the split and I owe that to the fans who have spent their hard earned money on tickets.

ROH posted:

Against all odds, The Addiction have managed to hold onto the ROH World Tag Team Championship for months. But this has been far from an honorable fight against the undeserving challengers. Instead, Daniels and Kazarian have utilized every trick, scheme, and broken rule possible to hang onto the gold! The Addiction pride themselves on being the smartest men in the room, and since bringing Kamaitachi into the mix they've only become more dangerous.

Who can stop The Addiction? Many teams have tried, only to be out-smarted and out-maneuvered by the champions. Two teams constantly in the hunt are, of course, The Young Bucks and Motor City Machine Guns. The battles between these teams are legendary, spanning years around the globe. But recently, the rivalry has been heating up and getting personal right here in Ring of Honor!

Basically no not really.

Also in lol news Jason Kincaid may be going to Evolve according to PWInsider. Like the guy a lot and would be a pretty good fit in Kevin Sullivan's stable.

edit: It's confirmed. He'll be on one of the upcoming Evolve shows.

Not really. WWE is only getting Roderick String. They are signing several indy names lately, but I still don't buy into this talk of more top ROH names leaving after this year ends. The Young Bucks are WWE haters and they make a lot with ROH, Japan and their merchant. Adam Cole has already publicly dismissed going to WWE. He's focused on being the ROH champ and being a player for New Japan. These things wouldn't happen if he was set on WWE. KOR loves New Japan and he seems like the type who would re-sign with a company after they promise him a future world title reign. Jay Lethal is an ROH lifer. This CMLL deals ads more prestige to sticking with ROH for wrestlers as well.

Lethal has basically publicly said he's going to weigh his options when his ROH deal runs out which I believe is next month.

it's worth remembering that there are only so many things you can say when every dumb interviewer asks every non-wwe wrestler about possibly going to the wwe and coming out and saying you don't intend to go or you'd prefer to stay in company x can only hurt your leverage in contract negotiations

Is Elgin still in ROH or no? I remember him talking in interviews about wanting to try baseball when his ROH contract was up, and they seemed to cool on him REAL fast. So why not just toe the company line in that case, at least publicly?
