Well the leaderboard really did lead to nothing so when Gabe hyped this record vs. that record nobody cared based on that because what did it matter? It could have gone somewhere if Gabe had planned it out better in the beginning on what he wanted it to be a couple of years down the road. I think with Davey leaving before EVOLVE really got started and Gabe focusing his attention on DGUSA while Sal got sick EVOLVE just became and is the placeholder between DGUSA shows.

Don't know if Gabe could separate from DG and keep EVOVLE going because even with it's backing he can't really bring any other guest stars in, there's nothing in EVOLVE you can't see anywhere else and I don't know if he or Sal even have the money to do it by themselves.

I've seen that BATTLEWAR show. I recommend it. Really fun show. Giant Tiger was accompanied by Vandal Vyxen (Amateur porn star according to my findings) and had some hilarious interactions with her.




Yeah, I get what you mean. I think to an extent it was just something that the fans weren't used to. The top of the leaderboard s essentiallhe replacement for the title, which I really liked. Is Sal even with DGU/EVOLVE? A few weeks back when TNA was in Cleveland and John Thorne got drunk and made a dick of himself, he posted a pic on Twitter of him and Sal saying he got him back in. Sal was wearing a VIP pass.

ROH pulled it's wrestlers from the FWE iPPV. I'm curious as to if they'll attempt to force them to pull out of all non-ROH bookings in the future. IMO they aren't paying the guys nearly enough to rightfully be able to say what they can and can't do to make a little extra money.

I've not used the website yet but I've ordered a few things from the UK ebay store and they've all arrived within a few days so the website shouldn't be any different. The prices are higher than the US store but you do save on shipping and you at least won't get custom charges on a big order. They seem to be checking a lot of my orders from the US for customs lately.

I loved that match. Probably my favorite NRBW match I've ever seen.


ACH's BOTI has been posted on SMV. As has AIW Gleaming The Cube. Don't really care for the match listing on the ACH set. Nothing really jumps out at me. I heard the ladder match at the AIW show was amazing.

1. Interview - 180 Minutes
2. ACH vs. Akira Tozawa - ACW 10/10/10
3. ACH vs. Gregory Symonds - ACW 1/16/11
4. ACH vs. Gary Jay - AIW - 5/20/11
5. ACH vs. Gary Jay - St. Louis Anarchy 7/9/11
6. ACH vs. AR Fox - AIW 4/6/12
7. ACH vs. Davey Vega - AIW 5/11/12
8. ACH vs. 2 Cold Scorpio - NPWD 2/2/13
9. ACH vs. Mat Fitchett - AAW 2/10/13

Definitely looks thrown together. The only match that got any real praise on that set was the match vs. AR Fox (I assume that's their Ironman match?) I've see the NPWD match and the match against Vega and they were okay, but I think he's had a lot better.

I'm definitely gonna buy Sami's but I may skip Kingston's. Never really seen a lot of him, and never had the urge to. Personally I'm looking forward to the Robert Anthony and the Irish Airborne BOTIs the most.

Had the opposite feelings watching both of them. Eddie's comp was really good was Sami's was just there, but you have to remember that it was put out during the beginning of Sami's stride so some of his best matches aren't on there. You could easily make volume twos of both with Sami hitting his stride and Kingston winning and defending the Chikara Grand Championship and his feud with Claudio.
 
#10,884 · (Edited)
ACH's DVD needs more of his AAW work. Could've put his first match with Kyle on there, or his match with Davey. Even the tag w/ Elgin vs. Davey and Kyle was pretty good. Also, I can't be the only one who doesn't care to sit through THREE HOURS of one dude talking about himself, regardless of who it is. Keep it to an hour at most, and use the remaining two hours for more matches.

Gary Jay :( :(
 
#10,888 ·
Callihan & Kingston sets next? They picked the two best people out there to make it on. YESSSSS.

I can't believe the 2 Cold Scorpio match made the ACH set. Have they seen that crap? Legit was painful to watch the entire way through. Wrestling is supposed to be fun. That was far from it. Lets have it go 18 minutes...not a smart move. I don't know how some in here can still tolerate watching Scorpio these days. Ugh.
 
#10,893 · (Edited)
AAW is having a tag tournament over 10/18, 10/25 and 11/18. Haven't seen any AAW (Despite owning every year Best-Of. Haha) but may check it put depending on who's involved. What's with the sudden hard on indy wrestling has for tag tournaments? Chikara had one this year and AIW also has one coming up, as well as ISW Burger King Of The Ring II


Also, apparently there's another Carnage Cup happening in November. Ugh.

#10,895 ·
Never been a big Scorpio fan. He was good in the 90's but eh. I can live without watching that guy.

---------

Not sure why I'm the only guy who really liked Hardy vs Whitmer from this year. Still a top ten ROH match of 2013. I know it isn't hard to do that, but it's a good match with a good story. Hardy OWNS.
 
#10,897 ·
Been gone for the last few years. No doubt. But idk, everyone seems to think it's only "fine" or "solid" & I'm over here thinking it was really good. Alone with my thoughts I see. I'll continue to enjoy it. :eek:

Defy or Deny II was certainly the best house show for me this year. The only one I didn't straight up dislike, tbf. Well, Dragon's Reign was filled with a ton of average/mediocre matches from top to bottom, but nothing truly awful on it other than Ciampa vs Vinny jobber guy.

Would Night of Hoopla count? b/c while it had that idk how to describe it lumberjack match between Silas & Davey, some other aspects of the show were good. Fun too. I liked the lighthearted approach for an ROH show. Three way, Lethal vs Delirious, & the tag championship were (Y) The little glimmers here & there are all we have these days. Sadly, Death Before Dishonor looks very poor on paper.
