I thought Elgin was done with ROH ages ago.

ROH has been done with Elgin ever since ASE6. The only reason he came back/hung around was to get in New Japan. Hell, the last two shows he worked were "joint" shows anyway so idk what exactly was announced other than making it official.

I don't follow ROH too closely but why would they put the belt on Kyle if he's on the way out :confused:

A desperate attempt to keep him, plus an excuse to do one more Cole/O'Reilly rematch @ the Jan 4 NJPW show where Cole probably goes over via BC shenanigans if Kyle hasn't agreed to re-sign.

"Bleeding from the mouth" looks an awful lot like smudged lipstick.

Related note, now that Nigel is out of ROH will they start blading more often?

Hopefully he re-signs. Taylor and Lee have really impressed me.

He's probably on a separate contract to call shows for NJPW World

Man even the commentary team is just using ROH as a catapult to get into New Japan.

It's tough to put together storylines when seemingly half your roster isn't signed to contracts...and said roster members are more hesitant to sign because of the lack of pushes and storylines...really feels like ROH has dug themselves into a vicious feedback cycle here and I'm not really sure how they get out of it.

Why aren't Dalton and the boys trios champs?

The Boys are Bad At Wrestling and that seems to be the storyline moving forward with them

There's a PPV in a week and they're still advertising the Bucks as champions.

May as well, there's one episode of TV between now and the PPV and the Bucks will probably be retaking the titles there anyway.

So it's Cyrus and Gertner coming in to take over commentary?

This story is most likely B.S. Even if there's anything going on it's probably just WWE calling Sinclair in other one of their attempts to own everything. It will to the way of the WWE buying TNA talk from last year.

This likely explains why all these wrestlers have been leaving ROH. They don' t want to go to WWE. They've heard rumblings of talks so they're all jumping off before they would end up getting tied down to WWE in a sale.

So.....the WWE isn't buying ROH, but the wrestlers are all leaving ROH so they don't end up stuck in WWE when ROH is sold to WWE.

I feel like every time I watch ROH, Rhett Titus has a different gimmick. Is there a reason he's doing D-Lo Brown taunts and moves now?

he's THE BIG DOG BABY and has been for a few months but that's pretty much the extent of his character development since he ran the Romantic Touch out of ROH

ROH has become nothing but an EVOLVE/NXT feeder with the occasional NJPW match. It's a real shame, I was enjoying them earlier this year but now I just can't get invested.

Was this the one where Lio Rush beat a guy who retired a few months later after a 20 year career.

I thought it was the one with like 3 non-Beer City Bruiser and therefore inferior fat guys and some Matt Riddle knockoff

but they have Cody and a dude in a bear suit and Shane Helms

Also they had and lost Keith Lee and completely botched that relationship

I still have no idea what they saw in Shane Taylor outside of "guy we need to get Keith Lee on our roster"
