Super No Vacancy posted:hot take that four way will be really good and it makes sense to get your two new big signings on your ppv in a marquee match and having a few guys trade the title and suggest that they each can win based on matchup or circumstance is a decent way to establish each of them as a threat and manufacture a kayfabe explanation for the multi-man nonsense It'll be a good match but I don't like them screwing Lee over like this

MagicCube posted:Maybe Rovert can confirm this, but I think the whole reason for the hotshotting was to get the TV Title on someone actually solidly locked down past the new year. Fish's contract is expiring, Ospreay needs to take a break, Dragon Lee isn't exclusively contracted, so that leave Scurll as the most committed for the time being. If yesterday is any indication though nothing is topping The Young Bucks vs. The Briscoes. Even if that is the case, why bother putting the title on Ospreay in the first place, other than "Thank you for signing the contract, here's a one-day reign with our third-most important title."

I don't remember it coming up at all during the ASE tapings or Baltimore tapings but that's what Cody tweeted.

Bucks/Briscoes is because the Briscoes beat them in a non title match on the UK tour that everyone who saw the show said was really really incredible

I'm not Delirious or maybe I am because I don't know why these things happen. I assume it was to get a big pop and raise the stakes of Ospreay/Scurll.

I would guess they do for Scurll, simply because I don't know who else would.

They'll announce this(probably the Bucks) and then every other name that has come out as far as deals coming up. Just as I said all along, as ROH will step up to the plate and there's the power of the New Japan relationship. Wrestlers want to be apart of a revolution and they want to wrestle in Japan, not hang out in NXT or come out to no reaction during cruiser matches.

In terms of main eventer types the only one I'd consider a certainty to leave is Adam Cole. The state of play is the same as last year if not worse. WWE is offering even less money. The likes of Nese and Gulak are seen in some circles as undercutting bigger name/higher profile indie stars. WWE low balled Ricochet for example.

Super No Vacancy posted:lol classic wwe. why pay for ricochet when we can get drew gulak for a fraction of the cost!! It IS dumb from a talent evaluation POV. But you have to remember WWE is eating the cost of Smackdown going live and aspects of their business are way down. So it does come down to budget too. WWE downgrading the look and quality of their product/roster is one of the bigger stories of year for me. Moreso the bottom half of the roster than the top obviously. Kinda reminds me of the difference between the WWF 1992 roster and the WWF 1993 roster. There's a lot more people who look minor league on the roster now

They also obviously value poo poo a lot differently than we do. Ricochet is phenomenal but he really can't talk and they'd neuter most of what stands out about him. He's a guy that's going to have to bet on himself if he wants to go there.

So, I know they have a not-insignificant working relationship, but can you tell me why someone in that situation would want to sign with ROH over New Japan, especially knowing the backstage politics in ROH are a bit rough at the moment? ^^^^ Also seconding this, though it's worth keeping in mind they've managed to get some amazing promos out of AJ, who I don't think anyone would've pegged as a great talker. sleepwalkers fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Nov 23, 2016 |
