Hey this is a basic-rear end question from someone who doesn't follow ROH: is it an hour-long weekly show and the occasional PPV? Is there more?

I think Athena being the ace of ROH is fine and good, but I do think Shida coming in is probably having a credible person to take the belt off her so she can move on to AEW

Waaaaaaaait a minute! Is ROH where they've been hiding Shida, too?

That makes sense. If you've got Shida on your roster and you don't put her on TV, you have hosed up.

Glad she's out there still kicking rear end and not just warming a bench!

That is super interesting. AEW has been pretty much my entire focus since it started, so I seriously had no idea that she's primarily focused on an entirely different promotion. That's really cool!

MAKAI isn't a wrestling promotion, it's a stage show with action sequences that she runs

WHAT?!

HamburgerTownUSA posted:

MAKAI is a combination of stage performance, wrestling, and heavy metal.

It's also notoriously kind of hard to watch start to finish on account of the many, many episodes being spread out over multiple Japanese video websites.

JoShizzle has a video about MAKAI if you're interested in delving a little more in to it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ngcj6VcLi8

Also, MAKAI has a YouTube channel, and it looks like they're starting to upload the past shows on it.

https://www.youtube.com/@MAKAIch/videos

There are a lot of familiar faces that roll through MAKAI if you are familiar with Japanese wrestlers or the Japanese metal scene.

Even on Shida's YT channel, she has a bunch of videos related to MAKAI on it.

WHAT?!

PS- Oh my God. There's an AEW show with equal gender representation, and it's called Ring of Honor. Came for the Red Velvet, stayed for the Shida. And wow is Queen Amanata good. Why don't they let her do this in AEW??

I am so loving sad I've been missing this until now! This is great!!

The trios should rip and Uno is very high on London Lightning so I think that'll be good too.

I've missed Nyla Rose so much on AEW! Not sure how her match with Already In The Ring will go, but it'll be awesome just to see her again.

Sorry. I turn into everyone's parent when I watch wrestling (in fairness, Ospreay did change his style after being warned by veterans that he was going to get hurt). Seriously, though, step aside Darby Allin. Starkz is absolutely nuts.

Watched a bunch of days late but I discovered JD from Covid era AEW and the guy is great. He has big guy moves and I still say that his headbashing after throwing a guy to the ropes outside of the ring is one of my favourite moves and I'm surprised that he is the only wrestler that does it, despite not being super flashy. One of my favourite current ROH matches is Workhorsemen vs Shibata/Alex Coughlin. That one was soooo good from all four.

Absolutely my favorite recurring spot of any JD Drake match.

Aminata should dethrone Athena (who moves back up to AEW) and get a good reign to finish her seasoning at which point, the sky is pretty much the limit for her.

God willing. I only followed AEW before getting into ROH a month or so ago, and it was so jarring to come from seeing Queen Amanata wrestle a couple AEW matches at the beginning of the year and thinking, "Wow, she's probably gonna be pretty good in a few years."

Then tune in ROH where they actually turn her loose and oh my God. She's incredible. The ROH women's division is really good, and it's really hosed that this is the only promotion in the Khanverse where women actually get to show it off.
