Cry 'Mayhem!' and let slip the dogs of Wardlow.

Hell yeah, the match when Shibata won the title was so good, just a total one-sided shellacking.

hi im tony. did you know that a koala's appendix is about two meters long.

Things just keep looking up and up for the bogo tickets I got for this show. Gonna have a lot of fun pretending to care about the rules for this one

a reminder for people who arent familiar with Pure Rules

- you only get 3 rope breaks in a pure rules match. after you use all 3 rope breaks they no longer can be used to break up a pin or submission attempt.
- 20 count instead of 10 count outside.
- if you perform a foul such as a closed handed punch or other illegal attacks, you will be penalized one rope break. if you have no rope breaks left and commit a foul, you are DQ'd.
- the champion can lose the championship on a DQ or CO.
-15-20 minute time limit, announced at the start of the match. if they reach it, they go to a panel of judges to determine a winner.

If Tony has been reading this thread and Yuta puts the ref in the corner then kicks Shibata in the balls for the win I'll be FUMING M8

I'm way more interested in MJF/Joe. I'm just so very tired of a heel having his minions interfere in his match so he can win with a nutshot. Show me Joe just killing people, that's the good poo poo.

mjf won when his minionfriend gave him the ring to cheat with after trying to cheat for him multiple times

mjf wins like 80% of his matches with the dynamite diamond ring, even as a face

i think maybe u just kinda dont like jay white like i just kinda dont like mjf, its ok to just kinda not like something

I'd think I'd much rather the ROH TV title was part of the triple crown than ROH World.

Maybe, I don't know, Stoke nixes Eddie's belt but says he can do whatever he wants with the Strong one, then puts in the TV belt because Joe just vacated it.

This will obviously be very good, but don’t know why they’re taking this detour from Wheeler/Hook I thought we were getting on the Pape and then didn’t get at all.

It's not like I dislike Jay, he's clearly amazing in the ring, and I enjoy the Gang Gang Bang, it's just I really think AEW has overused the ref in the corner/ nutshot/ pin situation. I think If Jay has cheated another way I wouldn't be so down (plus also he was guaranteed to win)

Ah so the ramp has moved. It was north side last time.

I had a diagonal view last time and want a side on view this year, however the poor fuckers opposite the ramp side had the giant boom camera blocking their view on and off. Really want to avoid that.

I'm guessing hard cam facing side will be the North stands this year, so I'll take a punt at those seats and hope I guess correctly.

I don’t think Yuta wins, but if he does then you can do Hook/Yuta title for title and either move the FTW belt for some reason or put a real belt on Hook and get him having some longer and more interesting matches in ROH for a bit.


Seems like they ran out of ideas in the past year or so, and it was probably more stress/annoying than fun anymore. Follows suit with Ethan and Sammy both dropping their regular vlogging, though I think Sammy ended up starting again after a while?

Very, very tangential, but this reminds me of a wonderful moment in one of the Toy Hunt Vlogs where Brody King takes Ethan aside and quietly demands to know why he's only brought jobbers with him on the Hunt today :allears:

Sammy took a break, started again, and then stopped when he got hurt. I assume it will start up again when he can travel regularly.

The thing with Jay used to be that he was just really good, but he was an insufferable prick about it. Heels don't really do that in American wrestling though, and it's too bad.

Used to love when he was one of the best counter wrestlers in the world because he actually studied his opponents ahead of time to be able to reverse their signature spots, the absolute bastard

I mean gedo interfering was a HUGE part of his matches for a long time in njpw, and I think a lot of us had issues with that too.

Jay‘s cheating ways completely failing to work in the biggest matches and him having breakdowns about it were one of the best things about Jay’s NJPW run.
