Someone post that gif of Punk failing to put an arm bar on a stationary Jericho.

Like did anyone watch that before publishing it? I cannot wrap my head around how completely different the first half is from the second. They are two entirely different characters in the same hype video.

I’m assuming that Grimm had leeway, given that ROH is not a corporate entity and also given that I imagine the creative team is a room full of sleeping men

If nothing else it confirms that the dude is a mark for himself and likely not a victim of WWE politics

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I think people are being too harsh with that Grimm thing. Clearly its a promo for a kind of dark angry wrestler that just cuts abruptly into a local Tiger Schulmann's commercial.

Sad to say that I'm still reluctant to give ROH money for anything involving streaming, since they used to botch their iPPVs so spectacularly to the point that I just gave up on watching them.

Wait doesn't the ROH site currently have VOD of all their archived shows?

Currently there’s select shows up to 2013. Less than 25% of the archive.

In 2013, they started posting everything VOD a la carte and then after a year, it goes into the archive for Ringside members.

So if you’re a Ringside member you get a very select amount from the beginning through 2012, then every show from 2013-fall 2016.

The production quality on that Grimm video is just terrible. Even if the idea wasn't trash it would look bad. Lmao at the white belt. Lmao at that dude using an MMA gimmick.

ROH streaming service is good news though

Literally all it needs to be great is to be Rimon Gracie. Instead he kept the Simon part of his wrestlename and forgot that the part of the wrestlename that mattered was being an old-style wrestler named Gotch.

If they can get it together to have either Wrestle Kingdom or New Year's Dash or both, they've got my money.

I’d imagine it will be like the NJPW World arrangement where you get whatever matches have the ROH guys in them but that’s it.

They tried to make him and Josh Woods have an mma style fight in Ft Lauderdale. He got a pop when he came out as he had a mask on and the reveal wasn’t bad. That’s all about what I remembered of his match as everything after it was better.

The ROH Survival of the Fittest field sure is something:
MATT TAVEN vs. CHEESEBURGER
TK O’RYAN vs. FLIP GORDON
“INKSANITY” VINNY MARSEGLIA vs. “THE OCTOPUS” JONATHAN GRESHAM
PUNISHMENT MARTINEZ vs. JAY LETHAL
SHANE TAYLOR vs. BEER CITY BRUISER
SILAS YOUNG vs. JOSH WOODS

The winner of this gets a post Cody/Dalton Final Battle title shot. I assume Cody vs Flip will be the direction due to all the stuff on a Being The Elite.

Plans changed recently. Cody is retaining at Final Battle.

Means the ROH title match at WrestleKingdom isn't a farce like last year though.
