Hard and fast use of the pejorative F word which I asked him to stop. "Why do you say that about Rhett Titus' body? I'm in better shape than him! What, are you some kind of ***?!" This would occur after events but also when he'd call me at 1:30 AM ET. Why it needed to be addressed at 1:30 AM ET on days we didn't have events and I was living my life as a civilian, I have no idea.

Would joke about the time we saw a woman (the make up artist we had at Madison Square Garden) asking for a ROH staffer by name so she could get her check at the hotel. The situation, admittedly, was kind of funny. It appeared to be something it was not. He has implied that he was ready to drop this conversation. He has posted edited texts between us before on Twitter and I wouldn't be surprised if he does it again.

Similarly, he's threatened to out a LGBTQ member of the ROH roster and out one of my best friends.

I haven't said anything because I was pretty crippled by fear that I've said something out of pocket and it might come to light. But Danny needs a friend right now and what he's saying about the power dynamic that was created is true and what a WrestleMania headliner pulled me aside and warned me. If I said something out of pocket, that is on me and I have to own it.

I was/am not involved in the Dojo beyond the semi-annual tryouts. The first one we did with Joey, I came prepared as I always did with a printed spreadsheet of the campers names, hometowns/home promotion, experience level. I printed enough for everyone. Bully, BJ, Delirious, Daniels, and others said thank you; Joey took the copy I made for him and my personal copy and trashed them. This was the same camp Hana was at. Can confirm what Danny has said regarding Hana.

Finally, most recently, Joey blamed me on Twitter for spoiling Final Battle. One of the Dojo students has since privately apologized for providing him the results. It was a lot of time and energy explaining to folks that I didn't tell a soul. Joey always said there are two things you can't get back: people's time and attention. It didn't ruin my Christmas but I'm just glad someone nearly four months later admitted to providing him the results. He got my time and attention. Good one.

This has been therapeutic for me, too. There are others who likely feel the same way. But this is a time and an emotion drain. They likely are in similar positions where they have kids or other jobs and that they consider the issue closed and can't spare the emotion, especially during a pandemic. And there may be some too who fear what they've said to Joey via text. But I'm proud of Danny for having the courage to speak up.

For clarity's sake, because I had to double check, Riccaboni's first few points are about Joey Mercury and not Danny Cage.

In a promotional email from ROH I saw what might be the worst t-shirt design I've seen this year. I actually had to go to the website to work out who this was a shirt for, because I was just going "Who the gently caress is Vince Unlto?"

That match where he qualified was not ROH's finest moment, a whole lot of it made zero sense. And they hardly ever do any storyline recaps so if you miss a week you might miss like, the entire qualifying event for that thing.

Another great 9-11 moment on that show (but got cut from the DVD): Homicide is doing his heel character where he'll snap and smash stuff, and after the crowd antagonizes him and he snaps he yells something about how he's glad all of those people died on 9-11 or something to that effect.

ROH is so unimportant on Bally's Sports that they now preempt twenty minutes of the show to do a local Arizona high school sports show and then join the show in progress. I don't care enough about ROH to be mad about this. The five minutes of Gresham vs Yehi I saw was good though.

The farm brawl was fun enough as long as you can divorce it in your mind from Undertaker/AJ or all the Matt Hardy compound matche. Especially when you factor in they had a disclaimer before the match and then put a disclaimer bug before every big spot during the show.

There's a PPV tomorrow I guess

that should be the UMBC arena where the last 2 BITWs were held

gonna be interesting to see the pics, I'm somewhat skeptical that most of the seats unavailable ringside left are probably because of production, but they got most of the lower bowl sold I guess

Anecdotally it really seems that now that the novelty of being able to do stuff has passed in most places, you have to REALLY put something exciting on there to get people to show up to things and while that's a good card I don't think there is much to it from a booking perspective.

ROH doesn't have a drat thing over the other non-WWE companies other than hypothetical financial resources. Unless you're a massive Briscoe Bros fan, and like, there's better material featuring them that doesn't require you to risk death.

Same goes for a lot of the undercard guys with talent. If they shuttered their doors there are guys I'd want, but man, it certainly isn't because any of them are hot poo poo rn.
