At least BJ occasionally takes crazy risks. I can respect being willing to take Psycho Drivers through tables and trying to murder Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs.

The gently caress has Aldis ever done that we should care about?

He really hasn't worked out as Champ. Due to injuries, lack of quality opponents and the sad reality he's an upper midcarder at best.

BAEST MODE!!!
The Joe/Magnus team owned because it led to takes about how the team being good was a sign Magnus was good, and then takes that since their matches against each other weren't so great it was a sign Joe was no longer good.

Dalton got hosed when WWE cut off ROH. The Dalton+Boys act is something that the NXT faithful would gobble up. I think he's overstayed in ROH and should move on. But that puts ROH in a weird spot because he's the most over ROH-only act. Or maybe its Beer City Bruiser's time to shine, I dunno.

I maintain that if ROH hadn't ROH'd and had given Dalton his reign a year earlier when fans actually wanted it, it wouldn't have been this mediocre, though admittedly it still probably wouldn't have helped make the company a must-watch

With both WWN and NXT essentially cutting them off from talent lines and that's really hit ROH hard. The new faces they have aren't loud enough on the indies to really turn heads. What's weird is that many of the top guys are mainstays in NJPW but the crossover doesn't carry as much. You get people that watch the big shows but don't stick with the TV product. This is a shift from when Japanese wrestling was harder to come by.

They have the rights to the footage but they'd need to edit it to remove all the music they never licensed. And for whatever reason Sinclair have decided that isn't worth their while.

Which means that to watch ROHs best and most iconic stuff you either have to buy 2nd hand DVD's or :filez:

Didn't ROH do in-ring introductions for Gabe's entire run anyway - they could just mute the entrances and raise the audio for the matches

To whoever in ROH who thought that booking Crystal Palace sport centre was a good idea, please tell me why it was a good idea to put a couple hundred people on a hot day in late May NEXT TO AN INDOOR SWIMMING POOL WITH NO AIR CON. loving hell, show was enjoyable but everyone was wilting before the meet and greet finished.

They'd either

A) Bring in Dalton without his boys, because "stars need to be over on their own"

or

B) Bring him in with his boys, but split them up 3 months later with Dalton abusing them and turning heel (or splitting via brand split) and then the boys become a tag team that's only on Main Event or pre-shows, and goes by the name "The Team" or whatever.
