Caught up to Final Battle as I fell asleep after trios match during the live airing due to a completely hosed sleep schedule.

Pleased but mildly surprised Kyle won, since isn't his contract situation less settled?

Also, I thought the Hardys were still under TNA deals for now?

Why does everyone have a poo poo theme song

I hope you''re not including the new champ in that category. ROH's theme music ever since they stopped using songs they didn't have the rights to has generally always been pretty bad with a couple random exceptions.

I thought Elgin was done with ROH ages ago.

He hasn't been under ROH contract for quite some time but he'd still work he occasional show, including jobbing to Lethal in a main event earlier this year

It's seriously unfathomable that they aren't using the young lions on every show

Yeah not only are all three of those guys really drat good but if nothing else you'd think they'd want to keep NJPW happy especially at a time when they're exploring running their own NA shows.

Also while Jay's crazy homophobia absolutely torpedoed a Briscoe Bros deal in the works, I'm pretty sure they made a later offer to them after things cooled down. Briscoes declined that one iirc because they didn't offer enough money for them to uproot their families and quit their shoot chicken farming job.

Not expecting it,but I'd love for Kyle to either decide to sign at the last minute or go to NJPW as I've really enjoyed his recent work there.

i remember most people thought ROH was gonna be on board with FloSlam in the period between announcement and launch. Know if something happened there, or were negotiations never that serious to begin with?

Hasn't ROH historically had lots of trouble with having babyfaces in general? It feels like they're the last company that could actually pull off an outsider invasion unless it involved like, John Cena.

on a simialr note Matt Hardy worked really loving well as an invader heel during his shortish recent stint

going to the local show tonight which is apparently a tv taping. the only ROH I've watched in recent months was Final Battle, anything interesting been going on lately besides backstage drama and departures?

i'm not saying this should stop them from booking a match that has five cool people out of six, but given their heavy use of BC it's weird to see a match that totally contradicts NJPW factions and alignments.

For those who don't watch, DBS Jr is in Suzuki-gun which is the most pure heel faction in the company while War Machine have been booked as faces in their limited appearances there

And the Tempura Boyz were internally scheduled too.

In short it is being put down to the new restrictions the Trump administration brought in apparently.

So did they book the real Mistico and just not give a poo poo that his name changed because everyone knows him as Mistico or did they book the new Mistico and they're just going to pretend he's the real Mistico?

I'm pretty sure they've booked Mistico II and I bet they're not pretending and just ignorant.

I get to see KUSHIDA, Hiromu, and :daryl: 3 miles from my house, so cool.

The one kinda interesting announcement I glossed over at first due to being more amped for Hiromu and KUSHIDA is KES. I guess Archer's healthy enough to come back now?

i kinda like their theme especially in a company that's generally weak there, but in ring they're pretty unremarkable
