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?

First is questionable as the tarantula specifically has more of the body outside the ring than inside of it so it may be considered out of bounds. The ref won't be able to break it up but it probably doesn't count as a legal fall. The latter is true. Once the ref initiates a 5-count, it counts as a rope break

It’s worse in the AEW thread where now all but a few are fully anti-labor (until the next Vince news drops)

We’re not talking about someone being fired/depushed for forming a union or standing up to harassment here. He got upset that he was dropping the belt, shouted at his boss and proceeded to half-rear end his match.

Yeah I posted that before i finished rampage, very curious who ftr is facing.

My guess is The Kingdom. The Gunns don’t seem appropriate and JayFF Jarrett is too gimmicky. FTR have said they want to work with The Kingdom and were allegedly big backers for them being brought in

Going back to the training thing for a second, the same is true about other sports. Great players are actually more often than not terrible coaches and most legendary coaches played at some level or another, but were usually pretty mediocre.

I’ve known for at least 10 years that Van Hammer trained the Briscoes and my brain still can’t process it properly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFVYzMFQogk They got Joseph Montecillo to do the Eddie-Claudio video package, holy poo poo.

There's a part of me that suspects that Hero might be coming into ROH to cost Eddie the title and this video has only stoked that further

Welcome aboard, the rebooted RoH has been some of my favourite wrestling of 2023. It just hits right.

But on the topic of the video library, could more experienced RoH heads recommend some good classic shows or matches to catch up on? There's just so much back log that starting to watch blind isn't really feasible.

Death Before Dishonor VIII in 2010 is superb if you can stand some crowd chants that haven’t aged well. Honor Takes Center Stage in 2011 was their 2-night Mania weekend show and it was amazing

I assume he's actually beating Claudio that same week at the Hammerstein or whatever NYC area arena Tony books for an ROH taping/PPV.

I'm really glad DPW is starting to fill an indie wrestling space that has been missing in the last few years with the decline of GCW/Beyond and slowdown of PWG

I do wish The Boys still did the commentary but I completely understand why they don’t.

I know that everyone hates IWA:MS, but I discovered indie wrestling during the magic period when IWA:MS was good, the Ted Petty invitationals to this day are my favorite pro wrestling events.
Seeing Larry wrestle two of my favorite wrestlers is a real treat.

Only in IWA:MS could you see a match between Austin Aries and Mr Kennedy commentated by CM Punk.
