El Gallinero Gros posted:Isn't Japanese indy wrestling still rife with Yakuza involvement? its real hard to tell because in Japan, even being accused of Yakuza involvement is enough to kill a business. Businesses and consumers will avoid heavily. NOAH still hasn't recovered fully from Mrs Misawa taking out a Yakuza loan(and from what I understand she didn't know who the loan was through). So if there is a Yakuza involvement its either incidental or clandestine as gently caress. Pro fighting sees a lot more traffic because gyms are great for money laundering and produce a steady supply of tough guys.

Jerusalem posted:Sinclair are pieces of poo poo, make no mistake, and should be called out on the crap they pull, but please take discussion of their involvement in politics to relevant threads in D&D unless it actually starts being reflected in actual ROH programming. This seems like a good enough time to ask this question. What the hell was/is that Caprice Coleman/Kenny King/Rhett Titus stable? they formed a MAGA stable with majority black guys but then they went all militia/sovereign citizen after adding more black dudes? Am I just misunderstanding the gimmick entirely?

Am I just misunderstanding the gimmick entirely? I don't even think they knew what they were doing with that stable. I remember they were heels, and their main goal was to bring wrestling back to the old days of tall, roided up wrestlers dominating everything, even though no one in the stable was either tall or particularly muscular. I think it was dropped immediately after the election, because I guess it stopped being funny once the joke became reality. I never really understood what the second version of the group was going for, then again I don't think the people who put the idea together knew what they were going for either.

They were also briefly named the Cabinet because that definitely wasn't already a stable in the biggest wrestling company in the world.

I just had a flashback to Julius Smokes screaming,"TRANSFORM! TRANSFORM!" at Jigsaw to convince him to take his mask off. I'm still sad that the very second Jigsaw did, Smokes didn't go,"Actually you know what nevermind..."

Which of these is NOT a dumb bad ROH stable name: A) The No-Spin Krew B) The Muy Thai Factory C) The Johnny Ramone Fan Club D) The Knee-To-Face XPress E) The Sunset Flip Gated Community F) All of the Above (a stable name, not literally all of the above) G) All of the Above (literally)

Gabe has had a lot of good ideas but what on earth convinced him it was wise to take Jigsaw's mask off? Did he just never see him without the mask until the unmasking?

I actually though the Cabinet was still together when I asked that question so I just looked at Wikipedia (the All Night Express page, there's no Cabinet page) to see what happened with them and apparently they lost a stable feud with someone called Search and Destroy? Man, you guys are really right about that ROH stable thing. I gotta go figure out who Search and Destroy were now and what stable they feuded with after. Wait, the MCMG? I thought they were in some "Knight" stable with red masks? I feel like this hole could get really deep if I keep digging...

Age of the Fall loving ruled and that night they beat the Briscoes and then left their screaming music playing for like 10 minutes so the crowd couldn't give the Briscoes an ovation to make them feel better was world class heeling

The red masked stable was only actually around for like, 2 weeks. They spent weeks building up to it, then it turned out to be Daniels, Kazarian, and Chis Sabin, and then fell apart when Sabin turned face to reform MCMG. Search and Destroy is MCMG and um... Some other guy. Maybe two other guys. I think maybe Jay White was in it for the couple months he was in RoH maybe?

I was there the night he cut the promo and all fuckin hell broke loose. Joey Mercury shoved a fan so hard it almost toppled a speaker stack.

Julius Smokes!!!! Thats a name i havent heard in a while. Was he Low Kis manager long time ago? I have this Image in my head of Ki laying in ropes and Smokes giving him a STIFF loving slap to wake Ki up... the crow popped huge for that. What happened to Smokes? Did he ever "make it?" Or was it just early ROH

So, my desire to see Kenny knee Cody in the face beat out my desire to not give Sinclair money and I'm gonna order Supercard this weekend, but I'm not exactly sure how I do that. It doesn't seem exactly like a WWE Network/NJPW World situation. Am I gonna be subscribing to Honor Club and then ordering the PPV after that, or what?

You should be able to watch it with just the $9.99 monthly subscription. sportsgenius86 posted:Also, just so everyone is clear, Supercard of Honor is not a traditional PPV, so it is included with the month-to-month Honor Club subscription. But you'll only be able to watch it online or with an Android app unless their Roku and Apple TV apps get approved before Saturday.

I was similarly unclear but it looks like they're classing Supercard as a 'tour' show, so it's just in the regular subscription price.
