I mean, you're not wrong, but it's a little hosed up that the IWGP US champ is more important that the ROH world champion.

Eh. When you're dealing with a generational talent like Omega who has a rivalry brewing with the ROH champ, I think it's fine.

Having a guy from another promotion go over their champ was a great look for ECW so yeah I think "fine" is the word I'd use

imo every promotion, especially WWE, should be clamoring for Okada to go over their champ. :colbert:

"Whoever they want from CMLL" means whoever the CMLL office feels like sending because nobody in ROH knows CMLL which is why you end up with El Terrible instead of someone young and cool or someone old and legendary

So for real what are the chances they do ReDRagon v. AoP? That'd be pretty awesome.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

It would probably only happen because there are no other tag teams in NXT that AoP haven't beaten, and I'd much rather have seen ReDragon vs DIY

They're probably fine.

Sometime in October maybe. Apparently.

Wait what? Am I reading between these lines correctly? Or are you saying that's when Kenny is defending the title and this isn't doublespeak?

October is the date in the Observer. But it all sounds very indefinite and like Omega is waiting as long as possible to do it.

Well, just looking at the timeline here -- Kenny has G1 dates set through early August. Win or lose, he'll surely be pushed/protected and set up for a marquee match at King of Pro Wrestling, which happens in October. After that is the sprint build to WK12 in January.

I'm sure they'll make time for him to defend the US belt during that period, but it's hardly the "whenever they want" open schedule that ROHque was suggesting.

According to the latest Observer, Kairi Sane's first match in the MYC will be against Tessa Blanchard.

That leaves me with a bad feeling because WWE loves their generational superstars, even though Tessa hasn't signed yet, iirc. Doesn't help that she (Tessa) has an incredibly awful attitude problem as well.

Meltzer walked back his claim that the elbow drop was banned. Didn't buy it. Kairi subtweeted that claim even.

I will say this about the MYC. Be prepared for a lot of initial disappointments. However your persistence through the bullshit decisions will be rewarded. Personally very disappointed in the choices of alternates and first round losers.

The Asuka/Ember build still seems to weirdly be focusing on The Eclipse, and not Ember.

They way they've done this thing, if Peyton just learned to do The Eclipse she'd be the next champ.

"Heel is scared of babyface's awesome finishing move" is a pretty classic and basic story, though.

ROH is basically running no events between the end of June and end of September.

There's one NC show, and like 3 dates in the UK, and that's about it for a 3 month stretch.

Reading the final spoilers for the NXT tapings, it comes across like the main in Brooklyn (assuming they don't put the women on last to try and sell Asuka's first real loss) is Roode/Drew/Roddy in a three-way?

I think the idea is Roddy is the next guy to get a title shot whoever wins between Drew and Roode.

Or maybe Drew/Roode in Brooklyn and a triple threat in Houston? Or gently caress it get Black in there and make it a fatal four way.

Makes sense, Sugehit is the obvious choice to at least not go out first run if they're looking to keep attracting people from the bigs in Mexico.
