Admittedly I didn't watch much ROH toward the end, I was more into them during the Danielson/Joe/Punk era. But I'd tune in every so often to their free weekly show since Fite posts them, and mostly to follow luchadores I liked like Horus and Flamita. So my curiosity now is mostly what the ROH roster's going to look like once the dust settles and all the ink dries - who comes back and who's gone elsewhere. This was by all accounts a hastily booked card because it had to be, so a lot of the appearances are probably one-offs. Once they get a regular TV deal and have a full roster, I wonder whether it'll still feel like ROH, or something different entirely.

I've always wondered - especially now - has Tony Khan ever talked about why he didn't just make moves to buy ROH after All In, instead of starting a new company from scratch? The EVPs were already there and the company already had a ton of history.

El Generico posted:Seems like a situation borne out of necessity. World - Had to settle the two belts angle with Bandido first, but Gresham is probably a lock to sign. Tag - Briscoes likely won't be back on a Turner show, so their status would be in limbo anyway unless ROH TV gets a non-Turner network (which is possible since TK owns it independently). Pure - Josh Woods got some Dark content so I don't know if they have any plans for him, but the title switch dovetailed perfectly with Yuta trying to get legit cred for BCC. TV - In Suzuki's case it seemed more like he was in town that weekend, never had a US title before, and Joe needed to be an end-show surprise, so why not? TK gets a dream match, and Suzuki's likely going home soon anyway. It also gives the belt immediate cred for Joe beating a legendary murderman for it rather than an unsigned Rhett Titus. Women - Deonna had schedule conflicts and is signed to Impact, so Interim makes sense here until they can book her (unless they do Mercedes/Deonna on Impact again). Six-Man - They haven't mentioned anything, so maybe they're dropping them? Or maybe they'll reintroduce them as floating ROH/AEW trios belts? Though Vincent is in Impact now with the Honor No More invasion, and the other two champions, uh... just did a CYN tag match. 🤡

Saul Goode posted:I cannot believe that story was not just a smokescreen to give TK an excuse not to sign the Briscoes for whatever reason. There is no way that a mysterious "Turner executive" is extremely online enough to know about the Briscoes' tweets from a decade ago and care enough to blacklist them despite their apologies and the people who have vocally supported them, yet not give a poo poo about Jake Hager or Jay Lethal for example. I really hope that the story was just put out there to give them a bigger pop when they do finally turn up on Dynamite (after the lights go out). Media companies hire entire SEO staff to be "extremely online", so they likely ran extensive research on everyone on the roster. When Turner was bought out by WarnerMedia they moved away from their Southern image, so if the negative info that popped up about the Briscoes was "1) displays Confederate flags and 2) are vocally homophobic" - whether or not it's still true - it's flagged as bad PR. But like I said, TK could put ROH on another network since he owns it separately. The only snag there is that until ROH gets regular TV, they're free to sign anywhere else, and seem to have already done that.

If you're itching for pre-buyout ROH roster content, Bandido vs Flamita is main eventing MLW Fusion tonight. Just, uh, skip over the nZo match. I really hope Bandido, Flamita, and Horus all land back in ROH once the dust has settled. They deserve somewhere with an actual budget and hype machine.

If they do a Deeb/Martinez match on the card, I hope they continue tagging afterward anyway, even as rivals. Their dynamic is too fun to pass up.

Elephant Ambush posted:FTR will probably win and it will probably go to a third fall but I really hope the Briscoes win and I would love it if they swept in 2 straight falls If ROH is announcing a TV deal soon, I'd bank on FTR dropping the tag belts so they can launch the show with the Briscoes as champs.

I really appreciate that their ROH presentation is noticeably different than AEW's Road To episodes. The interview segments have a different framing and setup with simple black backgrounds, and cutting to guys like Riccaboni with a city background feel less big budget. The only time it feels like AEW is when they cut to dramatically shot AEW footage, but once they get it back off the ground they won't even have to anymore. Question about Pure rules: If you locked someone up in a ropes move like Tajiri's Tarantula, it would be legal if they had already exhausted their 3 rope breaks. But if you did it when they still had rope breaks left, and then stopped it before the referee's 5 count, would that count as a rope break? sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Jul 20, 2022 |

Bring a sign that says "Angelico for Pure Division, I'm sure you already have this idea in mind but for chrissakes put the guy on TV, he just got a chill new summer jam and it's already late July" Or just the first part, I'm not your mom.

The post-match hug makes me hope they go back to tagging again after working out their differences. That would be a really fun dynamic.

I didn't watch the Flair thing so I did a double-take at them saying Blake Christian had wrestled for Jim Crockett Promotions. Unless he's secretly like 60 years old
