They still have time to drop the titles back before going to WWE. I hope they just continue accumulating tag team titles from companies and then leaving instead of dropping them.

Yeah, and if WWE wants their re-debut to be a surprise, letting them work for other companies until then, and even a date or so after, is a good idea.

Yeah, this seems like a short-term angle to keep the Hardys busy for a month or so. They'll probably drop the belts back to the Bucks on Mania weekend and then show up on the Raw after.

I'd say it's ridiculous that ROH would book the Hardys to win the straps on their debut knowing that they were angling for WWE, but it's Delirious we're talking about here. Or maybe they're not WWE-bound?

ROH put the strap on O'Reilly apparently without having him locked down, so who knows

Is there a list of questionable ROH talent/booking decisions out there?

Edit: I'm not sure I'd consider this one questionable though. Using a big name in the buildup to their Mania shows, even temporarily, isn't a bad idea. It's not like the ROH tag team titles are some sacred thing that will be harmed by a hotshot change.

If they know they have the Hardys until a specific date, they'd be stupid not to use them to pop as many gates as possible. ROH's questionable decisions are usually waiting too long to do a title switch. This is them doing the change at the right time instead of holding off like they tend to do.

Still a little bit of time for some shift but currently

-215 Swann/Tozawa
-2000 Goldberg
-1200 Braun
-615 Neville
-560 Club (Gallows/Anderson)
-160 Charlotte
-1700 Nia
-1625 Joe

Assuming Taker costs Reigns the win

Also congrats on reign #5, Charlotte, 11 to go

also those low odds on Charlotte usually mean a gently caress finish, so I think Bayley retains in an interference DQ

I didn't realize she'd had her fourth reign until she said she's going for number five in that interview from her appearance at that basketball game, and made me realize how shocked I am they didn't make that reign longer so she could've been doing the Four Horseman hand sign all the time.

TNA

Xplosion:

MJ Jenkins/ODB defeat Angelina Love/Laurel Van Ness. Davey and Angelina walk out on Laurel
Mahabali Shera defeats Fallah Bahh. Bahh attacks and stands tall postmatch

Team Borash/Team Josh stipulation: Team Josh loses, he leaves commentary. Chris Masters out to get in Josh's face (now called Chris Adonis)
Del Rio defeats Jon Bolen (local guy). Del Rio still using the dumb as gently caress double stomp tree of woe finisher from WWE. Calls out Lashley afterward
Pritchard does a podcast segment where the draft for the teams happens. Team Josh: Lashley, Bram, Eli Drake, Tyrus. Team Borash: Del Rio, Chris Adonis, Matt Morgan, Magnus. Brawl ensues
Reno Scum defeat Garza Jr/Laredo Kid in a match also featuring Decay
Pritchard does a podcast segment to announce Lashley's #1 contender via fan vote. It's James Storm. EC3 cries rigged election won't #MIGA
Braxton Sutter and Allie defeat Kevin Matthews and Sienna. Kongo Kong destroys Braxton and Laurel Van Ness beats up Allie afterward
Andrew Everett defeats Marshe Rockett in a match also featuring Suicide and Gregory Helms. Everett and Helms fight over Rockett and Lee after
Davey Richards submits DJZ. Pull apart between Davey and Eddie, and Alisha and Angelina
Not-Survivor Series Survivor Series time! Team Borash wins with Morgan and Magnus hitting back to back finishers. Del Rio leads a Na Na Na chant as Josh exits, and the face locker room clears to party at ringside, Del Rio doing so with the audience

Is Magnus the only one in that main event who didn't spend any time in WWE or a WWE developmental?

She pinned Nia's shoulders to the mat long enough for the ref to count to three. It's the general basis behind most victories in professional wrestling, though you can also win by submission, countout (your opponent being outside the ring long enough for the referee to reach a ten count), disqualification, and, rarely, knockout.

Yeah, he was green as gently caress when TNA debuted him, I think at a Destination X PPV. Even Eric Young couldn't get a match out of him.

The video of him at the Buffalo house show was hilarious if just for how much Hunter oversold the double stomp (not the Coup de Grace, the standing version he does after countering sometimes).
