They can differentiate it very easily just halve the production budget so it all looks and sounds like poo poo ROH.

Very minor spoilers from the BOSJ finals: they heavily teased Wheeler Yuta vs Robbie Eagles for the Pure title. Who knows when or where it'll take place though.

could see them doing either dominion or forbidden door, could be fun!

kind of a funny pick for a pure title match though. zack seems obvious but can't do it because he'd, like, have to win, and probably is not interested in wrestling random roh ppvs in america :v:

Has there been any news about a permanent show or venue for RoH?

Nope but it wouldn't surprise me if something was coming soon-ish what with Gresham and TBE appearing on TV this week.

yeah, they've done enough keeping-warm to show that things could be back in action whenever. FTR are defending the ROH tag titles tonight Mercedes has the women's title on TV, Yutes is defending the Pure title on Monday, and Joe is probably defending the TV title against Tall Man soonish.

Isn't Cole injured? Can he wrestle Joe?

I'm really interested to see how a full-time ROH roster is going to look a year from now. Will it be a mix of pre-shutdown ROH talent and AEW champions? Mostly AEW guys Tony doesn't have the time for on AEW? an ROH Nostalgia show with mostly old ROH stars? Or going a totally different route and creating a unique roster that stands on its own

I'm really interested in seeing how Tony Khan can balance two different products, I hope they both keep distinct feels to them like Dynamite and Rampage do

Yuta/Eagles
Gresham/Cage

What else we got?

Likely matches for the show:


Gresham vs. Moriarty (Or Cage)

FTR vs. ???

Mercedes vs. Deeb

Yuta vs. Daniel Garcia

Samoa Joe vs. Jay Lethal

Honestly, I'd pay $20 for that. Throw in some undercard matches too.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Treating them as softly different territories that dudes rotate around seems like a good idea. Having a different writer might be a good idea just so the show has a different feel. Also keeping the tradition where international stars can be regulars in the ROH main event would be welcome.

I think Tony has done a well enough job of making Rampage feel different than Dynamite but balancing three different shows is a lot more to handle. My friend loving refers to Rampage as "his show" (He's black and he loves that Swerve in His glory, Team Taz, and Jade are regulars there)

I wouldn't mind a general point A to point B direction for ROH with their own staff (I guess Cabana?) filling in the blanks to make it feel more distinct

Tony said on the scrum that he would like weekly tv but "it takes two to dance" and then he spent 5 minutes putting over his new bosses at Discovery.

If they do a Deeb/Martinez match on the card, I hope they continue tagging afterward anyway, even as rivals. Their dynamic is too fun to pass up.

i think the only return that would top shibata's appearance at Forbidden Door for me would be Morishima running in after Greshams defense and smashing him with a backdrop driver

I feel like Deeb's character is way too much of an egomaniac for that to happen but it would be cool if they started a women's version of BCC

Nigel lariating Greshams head off is more believable

I just had the thought that Cage is absolutely taking the title of Gresham if that's the match

FWIW, there was an interview segment last week (on Elevation?) where Serena told Mercedes she respects her history in the business and is cool with partnering as long as Mercedes doesn't cross her, so they've kind of addressed that.
