On the bleach issue- I think ROH had Homicide force Cabana to drink "bleach", or was it Drano? Speaking of terribly violent death matches-which fed had the SAW match, where the one dude got dropped on a shitload of syringes? There was a youtube video of that that was quite possibly the saddest thing I've ever seen.

And after Cabana finally won the Chicago Street Fight against Homicide, Smokes and Reyes came out with a noose, but Homicide finally ended the madness and shook Cabana's hand. That feud was probably the best one either of those guys ever had. The Chicago street fight in particular might be my favorite match from both of them, and one of my favorite deathmatches.

CM Junk posted:I seem to hear on occasion that there's a difference between rudos' masks and tecnicos' masks, like if a tecnico turns then he starts wearing a different mask. Are their discerning characteristics between the two? Are there actually "rudo masks" and "tecnico masks"? I think the idea is more that when the character develops or changes, the mask changes too, too show the new character. In Chikara, when Shane Storm became STIGMA they did this too.

^^^^Motherfucker, that was not up when I posted when I posted, but I feel like it proves my point anyway.PsiKoTicK posted:or give me a reason to watch ROH that isn't "the physical wrestling is good." This is why ROH needs storyline specific DVDs. They have plenty of great storylines (the ballad of Jimmy and Lacey, Dragon v. Morishima, Punk v. Raven, ROH v. CZW), but they don't always progress in every single show, or sometimes they last for over a year because of guys getting injured or Gabe being unable to stop pushing BJ Whitmer. It's a common WH2k opinion that WWE needs these kind of anthologies, but I would argue that ROH could benefit from them way more.

oldpainless posted:Is Colt Cabana any good? Yes. You should actually watch him wrestle. The rest of your post is you being stupid because you haven't seen any Colt Cabana matches. Everyone can tell you a good Cabana comedy match, but the one that proved to me that he can work all-around was his Chicago Street Fight with Homicide, from... poo poo, some ROH show in Chicago. If your question is "is this guy good?" and you immediately follow with "I haven't seen any of his matches" the only answer you deserve is "go watch some god drat matches and make-up your own mind".

oldpainless posted:Someone woke up on the wrong side of Colt Cabana's bed this morning. Us Jews gotta stick together. Also, my grumpyness has nothing to do with it, you really could go watch some of his matches. All the ROH on HDNet episodes are on youtube, and between that and dailymotion you should be able to find a few of his other highlights (wrestling in WSX as Matt Classic, and anything in PWG are must-sees).

rotinaj posted:Ask five indy fans, get five different answers. With so many indy guys being snapped up as of late, most of the tippy top guys are working in TNA or WWE. It's also pretty hard to get people to agree what criteria to judge by. My answer(s): Best Personality? Colt Cabana Best Gimmick? Delirious (only because Human Tornado retired) Best Tag Team? Kings of Wrestling (I've always really liked Claudio Castagnoli, and I think him and Chris Hero work well together) Best Technical Wrestler? Quack is not a bad answer here Best All Around? AA, Austin Ares. Also set to be the best manager in the indies!!

whatsabattle posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT_9P5TQ9MI "This match just might go on a long time!" really makes the whole segment. It's the kind of throw-away, white noise announcer line that you normally wouldn't even listen to, and it's awesome.

Kerck Pnameless posted:Opinion question: Has Evan Bourne always been this good or did he actually improve since coming to WWE? He was pretty good in ROH- One of the Death Before Dishoner DVDs (either 5 or 6) has a crazy awesome street fight with him in it where he does an SSP off of the top of a set of bleachers. But he's definitely gotten more comfortable working "the WWE style" (whatever that means).

Lone Rogue posted:I've actually talked to a few Indie guys who got shots and they were suggested by guys on the roster to bring styrofoam containers and grab as much as food as they possibly could until someone yelled at them. I can't remember who told me he ended up taking a weeks worth of food back with him for one dark match job spot. I usually doubt things that people post that are third hand indie wrestler stories, but I have no reason to doubt the veracity of this statement. Of all the things people have told me about the way wrestling works, this is honestly the most believable.

I reserve the right to be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that most of the guys who get busted by Perverted Justice don't end up getting charged because of the circumstances of these stings.

I think the best argument to make in favor of the rock is that he's the first wrestler since Andre to really "cross over" in a meaningful way. Put it this way: if the WWE was Chess Records, the Rock would be driving a Cadillac and Hogan, Flair, Austin would be bumming rides.
