outside of ROH's NY crowds, NXT consistently brings out the worst in people. I don't watch enough WWE to see what stupid poo poo they do instead of watching the goddamn match.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Listen to her crowd reactions and WWE has her doing SO much media now.

For some reason she's one of the people who gets the most requests from media despite the WWE not putting her all over their press packs and materials. I know it's easy to point at Bayley as being an example of the WWE not knowing what they have but you can make a serious case that for a long time they didn't know what they had with Becky.

I like it all except the two six-mans maybe, and if the Young Bucks/Briscoes replicate their London match it will steal the show. On that note, I hope they release the London VOD soon. They released the Liverpool show already but maybe they're waiting until after Cyber Monday to put out the last two from the UK tour.

There are no questions to be asked. Cruise got his start in ROH as Steve Corino's personal ring announcer, and Corino needs someone to introduce him to the trainees at the Performance Center, so it's only natural he's bring Bobby Cruise with him.

"Ladies, Gentlemen, and trainees at the Performance Center, please welcome, weighing in at 235lbs of cold-filtered fury...the Extreme Horseman..the King of Old School...the King of Kings..the King of Beers..and the loving GOD of pro wrestling...Steve Corino!!"

The nice thing about this program is that it's always yielded good matches, and people like O' Reilly enough that they wanna see him climb that mountaintop (and hopefully drop the strap to Dalton Castle, eventually).

I don't know how long he's got left but I'd like to see Christopher Daniels get a run. Maybe go O'Reilly -> Daniels -> Castle -> Scurll. I think Scurll is the future of ROH if they can keep him locked down.

Daniels apparently turned down the belt years ago because he felt it should go on young guys, can't imagine he'd go for it now unless he's changed his mind or he's bought into his own hype. FWIW, I like the idea of him having a title reign too because he was certainly popular and talented enough to have one, but I think he's cut down on wrestling dates because of his stunt work anyways

A Castle/Scurll rivalry sounds good to me, though.

I really like Silas, character-wise, but I think that leg injury discouraged ROH from really pulling the trigger on making him champeen. Had they not signed Scurll, Young'd be a great TV champ.

Roque, I don't doubt that this is unintentional, but I think statements like this fall into the fallacy of the excluded middle. This thread has discussed possible flaws and problems with which Ring of Honor may be struggling, but I for one have not seen the kind of doomsaying that this post implies is happening.

I like RoH. Hell, it was a Dalton Castle match I caught on TV one night that reminded me of just how much I like pro wrestling at its best. I can't speak for absolutely everyone here, but I truly don't believe most people in this thread are just making GBS threads on them for the sake of making GBS threads. Loving anything healthily requires acknowledging its strengths and its weaknesses.

This should honestly be the motto for RR because whether it's a wrestling or MMA organization, people really can't understand the concept of loving something AND wanting to see it succeed in every way. Pointing out when someone or something is loving up massively is essential to improvement, and ignoring problems will only make things worse both short-term and long-term.

You know, I was thinking to myself "Roque is the funniest part of the ROH thread" while reading it the other day, but I've changed my mind. I hope I've worked myself into a shoot, brother, because I can't humanly comprehend the idea of someone having a persecution complex over something as trivial as a professional wrestling promotion.

Something actually on-topic, for someone who's never really watched much ROH but is at least vaguely familiar with the roster (and has seen a handful of them live), is there a good spot to pick up on their TV? Or is it the sort of thing where I'll be able to jump in mid-stream and have a handle on it all after a few weeks?

The TV basically exists for the matches, ROH isn't exactly big on long running storylines unless they involve Steve Corino for some reason.

Nobody here is building their life around Tweeting about ROH unless they're Rovert, and his whole thing is Tweeting Wrestling Things and kinda awkwardly leaning into the grief he gets.

The ~prevailing narrative~ about ROH that I heard was "wow, if the backstage goings on are this hosed, this company probably won't last very long" with people assuming there'd be a mass exodus of talent because of how messed up it was. Now, those people didn't learn their lesson from TNA being a significantly hotter mess and still existing as a company that literally doesn't make enough money to operate, but. I don't really know how that's as weird as Roque's weird smug quips thinking he's really sticking it to the haters!!
