Garcia/Yuta for the Pure title is gonna be an absolute banger and I'm hoping the challenger wins as it'd be an easy way to drive a wedge between him and the rest of the JAS They already seemed to be teasing discord with the way Garcia barked at Sammy and I'd love to see him gradually realize after winning the belt that he's a professional wrestler and not a sports entertainer

Streaming hasn't been the cash cow the networks had been banking on, which means that Warner is no longer interested in paying for high-performing traditional programming?

I'm aware of that, but again, those cuts only affected streaming content - what's more, there has not to my knowledge been any removals since late August, likely because of the strategy being so poorly received that Warner's stock now sits at ~65% of the value it held before the cuts occurred.

My apologies for missing those stories, for whatever reason they didn't come up in my search. I stand by my larger point of Warner's traditional broadcast networks remaining unaffected thus far, Westworld and The Nevers being removed from Max doesn't equate to cost-cutting at HBO just because that's where those shows started.

Gaz-L posted:The earlier round literally involved them pulling a finished season of a sitcom from TBS the night it was meant to premiere. In what sense is that cost-cutting? Warner already paid to produce the second season of Chad and executives made it clear that the decision was part of the company's decision to put less emphasis on scripted content (which if anything should be seen as good news by AEW fans since wrestling doesn't fall under that umbrella).

Thanks, I'd appreciate that! I've actually seen very little of peak ROH simply because I wasn't watching wrestling at that time, so I'd value any opportunity I could get to catch up. Great main event of Claudio/Daniels to cap off the show, possibly the best match the latter has had since joining AEW.

Ganso Bomb posted:Curious, what else are you subscribed to? For me it's just AEW+ and ROH right now. I'll end up doing Fite+ during Mania week to see all of the indie shows, not sure if I'll keep it on. I had subbed to NJPW for Wrestle Kingdom but felt myself falling off immediately after so didn't renew. Also dropped IWTV a while back because I just wasn't using it enough. AEW+, NJPW World and Wrestle Universe are the other three. I was also subscribed to Stardom World for a time but its website is so garbage that I quit after a couple months.

That was a fun show! Nothing revolutionary but lots of solid wrestling and some interesting stuff set up for the future. Athena/Willow is going to whip and I'm really excited for the Eddie/Claudio feud. The members of the Trustbusters need their own themes, it's grown beyond comical to hear the same entrance music multiple times during one show.

Their first tapings took place over two days on February 25th and 26th, each session lasting three hours. It looks as though those tapings will result in four shows.

I started going through ROH's back catalog, and while I've already seen a bunch of great contests the one I'm most impressed by thus far is the Dragongate 6-Man (Do FIXER vs. Blood Generation) from Supercard of Honor 2006. The ending stretch is maybe the craziest five minutes of professional wrestling I've ever seen, so much incredible poo poo happening at such a ridiculous pace that commentary goes silent rather than try to keep up. Crowd was going absolutely nuts at all the near falls, cheering after each one because they didn't want to see the match end (as evidenced by the "please don't stop" chant). A magnificent spotfest of the highest order.

That was a neat read, thanks! I've been referring to Cagematch ratings to determine what to watch, so while I knew the match was highly regarded I had no idea it was so influential. coconono posted:Watch the ROH tent shows. They’re all awesome and gave us Ring Crew Express. MassRafTer posted:The other matches from that weekend involving the Dragon Gate talent are all really cool. Thank you for the recommendations!

That was a great two hours of wrestling, probably the best weekly episode yet. The show feels like it's hitting its stride now that they've got some storylines going and established the main players.

Watching All Star Extravaganza VIII and just got my first taste of The Cabinet, a stable whose slogan was apparently Make Wrestling Great Again (show took place in Sept. 2016, naturally) and whose theme was a remix of Hail to the Chief. Then before the match started they made fun of Colin Kapernick by kneeling during the Code of Honor while Caprice Coleman declared that anyone who attacked them while they were peacefully protesting would be disqualified by the US Senate (?????) The whole thing is very  but it's too confusing to be truly offensive

Very fine episode, a few thoughts while watching: - Athena's version of the powerbomb symphony was more impressive than any Wardlow's ever done (except maybe when he annihilated MJF) - Did Dark Order get a new version of their theme? - Really interesting ending to the Penta/Comoroto match, I don't think I've ever seen someone rendered unable to kick out specifically because their shoulders were wrecked - Moriarty/Takeshita was incredibly good, the exact kind of match I would hope for from this version of ROH - And yet Vikingo/Gringo was somehow even better, just a spectacular showcase for both men

My thoughts on this week's show pretty much echo those already posted, though I did want to mention that it's smart for them to include a classic contest after the episode for those unfamiliar with the history of ROH (like me). Hopefully it'll be a regular feature going forward.

A very good if oddly frontloaded show, though I did enjoy the main quite a bit and I love Komander being teamed with OC and Bandido. Brock Anderson was the most disappointing part of the episode, he just looked like a total lump out there. I hope they haven't given up on him and BPJ just yet, it felt like that team had potential and that each man could cover each other's weaknesses.

Oh, also, I hope they're going somewhere with this Righteous/Stu thing soon, the distraction shtick has grown beyond tiresome and this week's installment led to a really silly finish for the 10-man
