These breakdowns always occur between Elgin and ROH. It's been happening for the past few and it's nothing new. No big deal. They'll make up again soon enough and he still works for ROH's partner

Front office can't return calls of a former world champ. TOTALLY NORMAL.

this popped up in my feed the other day and i've been putting off watching it but i finally took the plunge tonight and i'm confident calling this a very bad wrestling match that is good and the audacity it took to book this in the first place is sorely missed in many promotions

There's no reason this needs to be 18 minutes. There's like 10 minutes of action here and its twice that length. Some of the hottest feuds in ROH history didn't get 18 minute blowoff matches but somehow this did and in front of people looking at their phones. Great. I wish more places took stupid risks like this.

holy poo poo, this is booked like an old WEW match.

Typical Elgin. Not his first go around with ROH. Maybe next he can go tryout for MLB.

or maybe he can run his own promotion, raise his family and not be bothered with Sinclair's bush league rear end.

I'm not even sure how ROH/sinclair could enforce a matching clause. if I was WWE, I'd force arbitration just to see what shakes loose.

I think its more than likely Kyle's picked up a fuckton of head trauma and WWE can't safely use him as a talent. There were some hints that Kyle may be having to deal with some "personal stuff" or whatever the last Rovert update was.

ROH needs to do something worthwhile if they want to continue to survive. You'd think that having open partnerships with CMLL and NJPW would make them become the super-indy alternative in the US but their roster sucks and since Steen/Generico left the company I haven't been that enthralled with anything they've been putting out.

ROH tried to treat Bullet Club like an evil invading faction for a minute but it fell apart because BC is beloved by wrestling nerds.

The first statement is sorta true, but the CZW invasion of ROH is considered a high point by lots of people. It was well booked.

the ROH part anyway. CZW's side was a complete mess because Zandig didn't understand how an invasion was supposed to work.

Bad in the short term maybe, and lovely for KO, Dijak, etc., but in the long term it's probably a good thing to put their foot down on WWE trying to undermine their contracts.

unless ROH is handing out lifechanging money, those contracts ain't poo poo and not worth enforcing.

I feel like if ROH doesn't get swallowed up, Matt Riddle'd be a good fit: they probably don't care that he's a pothead, and he's a dude who could get them some attention while having great matches.

ROH would be perfect for a Jack Swagger/Matt Riddle match.

big gripe that War of the Worlds isn't touring through Chicago or Indy.

ROH really only draws well when it brings in international guys. But really, because of the way their finances are structured, they can afford to run humdrum shows and not break dudes.

Evolve is doing fine too but at a much higher injury rate. Crossfit fighting is brutal on the body.

Fair Ground has a bunch of different sized buildings they can use. It'd be dope if they could run the Coliseum proper, but it'd have to be a hella visible show.

they'd need 6 months of promotions and sweetheart travel packages for fans. Plus they'd need to lock in talent contracts because WWE would most definitely poach if any other company tried to run MSG.

Was he really under contract? I always figured, based on his card placement, he was one of their more reliable free agents
