Finally catching up with the April 25 episode of ROH, and... Red Velvet and Queen Amanata are taking on Athena and Billie Starkz?!??. Thursday cannot come soon enough. I think this is the most exited I've been for a match in months!

Strap a rocket to Aminata, Tony, she’s cool as gently caress.

Aminata should dethrone Athena (who moves back up to AEW) and get a good reign to finish her seasoning at which point, the sky is pretty much the limit for her.

God willing. I only followed AEW before getting into ROH a month or so ago, and it was so jarring to come from seeing Queen Amanata wrestle a couple AEW matches at the beginning of the year and thinking, "Wow, she's probably gonna be pretty good in a few years."

Then tune in ROH where they actually turn her loose and oh my God. She's incredible. The ROH women's division is really good, and it's really hosed that this is the only promotion in the Khanverse where women actually get to show it off.

I said this while watching the episode, to my friend, both of us being big fans of FTR:

That promo gave me the vibes of the Fight Like an Eight Year Old Girl promo, which is still one of my top 5 AEW promos.

Hearing Comoroto's voice is so strange and I'm glad he shaved before talking or it would have been just too weird. I am enjoying Jacoby Watts too, I've always had a soft spot for Dean Alexander, and I find it kind of hilarious that Caprice seems to be genuinely bothered by the gimmick.

I sometimes think about Goto and Bully Ray trying their hardest to do absolutely nothing with Bully Ray taking no bumps not even delivering a SUPER BOMB for the finish. Ospreay/White was amazing too.

I know I was completely out on wrestling at that period but it is wild that I don't remember anything about that show at all except that Scurll was over, and what was going on in the lobby after the fact.

It was a great little detail how Fletcher blew off the Code of Honour at the start, then actually respected it at the end.

ATTENTHUN THITIZENTH
I'm really at a loss with RoH at the moment - the whole promotion has never felt less necessary than it does right now. When I considered catching up with last night's episode, I realized I absolutely could not work up the motivation to watch yet another hour of sub-Dark action. Everything seems like it's been in a holding pattern since Supercard, to the point where I cannot think of a single ongoing major storyline. Best I can come up with is the revitalization of the Varsity Athletes, and forgive me if I'm not exactly enthralled by this newest iteration of Nese et al.

Athena's banged up and thus limited, but why not play up her injuries and tease that Starkz will finally turn on her? Speaking of, Starkz isn't doing anything with her TV title and Fletcher isn't doing anything with his, while Mark Briscoe has only wrestled on Honor Club once since becoming World Champion in a six-minute match against Griff Garrison. It's not like we're getting bangers every week to make up for the lack of stuff happening, either, there hasn't been a single match since Supercard that I'd go out of my way to share with others. The lack of thought put into the show is frankly troubling, to the point where it feels like some looming change caused a shift in attitude towards Honor Club as a whole.

I haven't paid for RoH in months and at this point I frankly can't even be bothered to :filez: it anymore. I don't know what the solution is but I'm 100% positive that the promotion's current state is completely untenable.

Athena got "injured" in the match on last night's episode, Mark Briscoe is on paternity leave, Billie is feuding with Red Velvet, and Fletcher vs. Castle just got announced for next week.

She was banged up before then and the injury in question is legit, so A)why wasn't she doing anything between last night's ep and Supercard (beyond a single Proving Ground match) and B)why are you using scare quotes?

quote:

Mark Briscoe is on paternity leave

Pregnancy isn't something that sneaks up on people, why was the belt put on him if he'd have to go off TV immediately afterwards?

quote:

Billie is feuding with Red Velvet

Fine. It's possible that that's going on and I just don't remember those segments.

quote:

Fletcher vs. Castle just got announced for next week

That's one match that will almost certainly not lead to anything else, not "doing something with the title."

She was banged up but still wrestling. I probably shouldn't have used scare quotes but the injury is short term and she'll be back in a couple weeks.


It lined up with Jay's title win against Owens years back. And Eddie would've had to vacate the title if Mark hadn't beaten him at SCOH.
