KISS ME KRIS

I can't stop thinking about the audacity of the finish so ROH has me there. I'm gonna hazard a guess that Cody threw that one out there and whatever bald idiot they have booking now ran with it.

hey mister... can u play drums while I sing and play plastic guitar???
I read that Taven made Cody punch his title belt to open his hand. Isn’t that pretty cleanly and cleverly outsmarting your opponent?

It was both. Taven blocked Cody's punch with the belt, they separated, Cody then got Taven to the ground and kept punching him until blood appeared. The ending was kind of weird looking in practice.

Meltzer reported the backstage shenanigans we were talking about earlier was some extra getting mad because he was asked to get out of Christopher Daniels's chair then picking a fight with Flip and losing.

Women of Honor doesn’t feel very fleshed out.

Say what you want about the awful branding behind WWE’s “women’s revolution” but at least there’s a coherent roster.

We've bemoaned their fate pretty soundly in the Women's thread but yeah, ROH's handling of their women's division is like the polar opposite of WWE's and somehow just as terrible. I think there's very little creative work done within it besides "you've got six minutes, don't kill the contracted talent." And the people they have under contract aren't strong promos or characters. Whatever it is, women's wrestling in ROH is terrible.

All of that has been more in New Japan and on Being the Elite than in ROH though.

So we should count the show that is literally being run independent of the promotion in favor of that promotion, where as giving the world title to a popular wrestler doesn't count as momentum because ADR no showed an event and forced plans to change fir the better.

Why is ROH so bad at naming teams/stables?

I like Dalton Castle's gimmick, and I think he's good.

And he comes out with "the boys."

What a half-assed name.

I'm actually triggered by this, I think.

Hell, even "Dalton Castle" sounds like a name you'd get in FCW. But I'll give that a pass.

Get better team names, ROH.

I just think the name lacks color for people with such a colorful gimmick.

They aren't alone. Marty Scurl's nickname is "the Villain." They spent a whopping 3 seconds on that one.

Again, I think that's Marty's gimmick in other promotions too,and it's based around the British connotations of the word. He's basically calling himself a gangster, but like a mafia type one.

It comes together when, idk, that fake Stan Hansen dude comes after them on the outside and Castle gets between them and points at fake Stan Hansen flamboyantly and yells “don’t touch *MY BOYS*”

It's a tradition at this point. The second ever stable in ROH were The Group. And then you have the stables that came from the Generation Next guys who all had terrible names: No Remorse Corps, The Resilience and Vulture Squad.

And now you have The Addiction and The Kingdom.
