I thought their match earlier this year was MOTYC level. Like it might make my top 100 for the year.

Dalton, maybe, but Lethal is legit a fantastic worker. With the right opponent, he could absolutely have a MOTYC.

I like Lethal, I think he's a hard worker. However, his ringwork leaves me kinda meh. There's no intensity or urgency to his work. But it could be the ROH effect.

You only have 100 MOTYC? Are you skipping the G1 or something?

Not that I know anything of the deals they got on the venues, but they were 3000 people in a 6000 and 10000 seater each. That had to hurt.

I was at the PPV, and they had most of the lower bowl sold (the only empty seats I saw were in the far ends near the entrance). I imagine they didn't really expect or intend to sell the upper bowl, so 3000 was probably what they expected from the venue.

I too was there. You have a point with there being ABSOLUTELY ZERO people in the upper bowl.

I’m hoping it was enough for them to come back. Way better than the poo poo-rear end soccer arenas.

Personally, I would probably blame the two girls who ran every other girl out of WOH but that's just me. If Jay did that, that's scummy (but in line with what I've heard about him).

Same. Which is not cast doubt, but I'd heard he was a standup dude.


Of course, the last few years have proven that hearing that only means something until it doesn't.

Taeler trying to say she's a bigger draw than Martini is some pretty funny poo poo.

Her social media reads like a self insert fanfic. Not sure if she's killing time or what.

As for Jay demanding she sleep with him, that's some poo poo I didn't see coming. He always came off as too boring for that kind of thing. Drink's very sparingly, doesn't have any other bad habits to speak of, and I believe has been married happily for quite some time. Not saying its out of the realm of possibilities because working for ROH drives people insane.

Yeah, as goofy as Truth is, he's 50x more memorable than her. Did she even talk for Jay all that often? Or do anything other than like, occasionally interfere for Jay?

I tweeted about it during and after it all happened.

Taeler is rather odd and from all accounts from male and female wrestlers. Tremendously difficult to work with too which is why she doesn't wrestle anyway of note despite being more than passable in the ring and her look. Which be things used to discredit her.

However, I do believe her based on talking to people at the time it happened. To my understanding, she did complain to management hence Truth Martini, Delirious's best friend completely vanishing from ROH and Pro Wrestling.

There is/was a scuzzy side of the ROH locker room where it comes to questionable sex behaviour and drugs. The Being The Elite Drug Free thing is kind of a rib on that culture as those dudes remove themselves from it. If you have eyes you will observe relationships/sexual politics have played a big role in WOH over the years.

Jay has had a habit of sleeping with his own trainees. Sometimes love happens and that works out. But ethically it is really questionable especially when it happens over and over. That trends into predatory behaviour.

Also mysteriously WWE has for whatever reason has NO instead in him.

Oof.

At the same time, about Best in the World

quote:

Overall, the Best in the World PPV was good, particularly the second half. The show was ROH’s debut at the UMBC Arena, and drew 2,500 fans. It was the largest crowd in the history of the company for a show drawn on top by exclusively ROH wrestlers.
