It doesn't bother me what the shows are called, but I know where you're coming from.

Personally a cover and/or show name shouldn't affect whether you buy a show or not. It's the quality of show inside that case that names.

Couldn't agree more.

It seems like you'll do anything to find a flaw in ROH these days man...and that's cool, it's your choice so go right ahead...but c'mon. Don't reach out too far for stuff to bash them for, like 'serious show titles'.

Well I've only really found flaws in the increasingly shitty in-ring work (pointless faction warfare spotfets, I'm looking at you).

Otherwise, I've grown generally tired of the general seriousness of it all. Just thinking about it, the show names annoy me. Sorry if I came across as trying to find flaws (I probably did), I guess I just hate certain aspects of ROH nowadays.

But that's been ROH's deal for the longest time. Like Spartan said, serious names aren't anything new yet all of a sudden everyone seems to bitch about them.

lawl, you know a promotion is doing well for itself when the only thing to complain about is the fucking names of the shows.

I've just gradually grown tried of them.

Actually, I've complained about alot more current ROH (ie the in-ring work) than the show names. Get your facts right before posting something like that in the future plz.

The only thing I don't like about the ROH show names are that they are announced like weeks after.

Well, had they been able to predict the name "Eye of the Storm" ahead of time, they'd probably changed travel plans and the show name would have been unnecessary.

LOL, I know what you mean about the names. I just assume Gabe checks online to see what fans want the show to be named and will often times steal one he likes.

The show was called Honor Nation because they were in Boston. Boston is home of the baesball team the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox fanbase is known as "Red Sox Nation." So ROH was playing off of that (The Red Sox were actually playing in a playoff game against the Cleveland Indians on that night, IIRC). If anything, it was the least serious of their show names.

I don't mind their show names and all of them are not serious. Transform doesn't sound serious at all. Neither does Chaos At The Cow Palace.

[McQueen]

Chaos at the Cow Palace sounds like some sort of rodeo. Was that show any good by the way?

The fact you guys are bitching about show names is just proof the internet fans must bitch about something at all times.
