Amazingly elitist comment. Bravo.

Idk if anyone's aware of this, but I was surfin through GoFightLive and I found that ROH has all of these shows available to stream for $4.99 per show:

Glory By Honor IV
Death Before Dishonor IV
Glory By Honor V: Night 2
Final Battle 2006
Glory By Honor VI: Night 2

The match is also a test to see how far Jacobs has come morally and professionally. It's the main event of that show as far as I'm concerned.

seriously, I'm not even high any more and I still can't stop laughing.

- You still don't seem to understand how the visual element of a staged performance works (i.e. Tintin lookalike Roderick Strong portraying a villainous cult member or The Young Bucks looking like Christian nerds and playing an arrogant jock gimmick). It's a basic concept. Beyond basic. It's the reason that costume departments and make-up artists exist.

this is maybe the dumbest thing I've ever read. a person's character is based on their actions, not their appearance. that's how it works in real life.

and if you've really been watching wrestling for 20+ years and you still can't form your own opinions, that's pretty sad. I've been watching wrestling for maybe four and a half years and I can start and contribute to discussions on this board. People don't always agree with me, but they take what I have to say seriously.

You, on the other hand, just throw around petty insults and generalized statements. You contribute nothing of value and nobody would miss you if you left.

Crabtree is right in some ways - if the Rock became more focused on technical wrestling in the mold of Ricky Steamboat or Chris Benoit, I'd be completely off from his personality and character. If Benoit had done a cocky style in-ring similar to the Rock, it'd go completely against the way Benoit carried himself.

Your performance in-ring should gel with the on-screen way that you carry your character. Chris Jericho was 100% correct in what he said about Aries & Strong years ago - they had no characters whatsoever. Since then, Aries has become one of the most entertaining douche-bags in the industry, and Strong has yet to find a way to channel his real-life charisma (which I know for a fact he has since I had the pleasure of meeting him once) into himself as a performer. He shows shades of it in PWG, but for whatever reason he's not bringing it out. He reminds of ECW Eddie Guerrero right now, before Eddie was told by Benoit to channel Black Tiger in his American character.

Totally agreed about Roddy; I met him a couple years ago and talked to him for a while, and he's a really cool and funny guy. It's pretty frustrating that he either hasn't been given the chance, or just hasn't found the way to amplify that for his persona. Maybe he thinks with ROH he has to be super serious all the time, but checking out a couple of his recent interviews on the TV show, he's at least trying to loosen up. When he finally is able to get something going, I think he'll surprise a lot of people.

Strong usually comes across well on the ultra-relaxed PWG commentary slots. But I get the impression that once you point a camera at him & give him a loose script to follow, he freezes. His recent promo work is an improvement, but you can still see the wheels turning while he thinks about what to say next.

[jawbreaker]

Roddy was really good when he was picking on Davey with the NRC and on PWG commentary. He's getting a lot better at wrestling to his character too, so at this point all he's really missing is promo skills. Which, to me at least, are overrated and more of a cherry on top than the actual sundae.

Chikara - King of Trios 2011 - Night 1

- Good to see a Tribute to Larry Sweeney, hopefully theres one on High Noon as well

1. Team 3.Ole vs The Osirian Portal
***1/2

2. F.I.S.T. vs Team NHPW Australia
**1/4
As an Australian I'm pretty familiar with Tama and I know hes definitely one of the better young guys in Australia but the other two are just very average. Kabel is really big and just doesn't act like it. And of course why in the fuck wouldn't they come out to Land Down Under. Also NHPW probably doesn't make Top 5 promotions in Australia and theres really not that many to begin with. If they ever go for a Team Australia again they should have just asked Madison Eagles to bring over some guys with her. They also draw pretty poorly concidering they bring over Internationals pretty frequently.

3. The BDK vs Da Soul Touchaz
**1/2

4. The SAT vs QuackSaw & Manami Toyota
***3/4

5. Team Dragon Gate vs The Spectral Envoy
***1/2

6. The Throwbacks vs Team Osaka Pro
***1/2

7. The Dark Army vs The Colony
***

8. Team Minnesota vs Team Michinoku Pro
***3/4
