ROH on SBG Discussion Thread

Unlike HDNet, the weekly broadcasts will air at different times and for those of us abroad, we'll be seeing it at all different times online too, so I guess we can discuss events/happenings here.

Here's the preview for this week.



SBG have brought some great technical leaps since HDNet. The Haas/Benjamin segment with them holding the belts looks real clear, for instance.

Can't wait.

Hell has frozen over. I really wouldn't mind if Colt is the guy to dethrone Lethal.

I for one really hope they dont have Cabana be the one to end Lethal's long title run. I see no point or payoff at all for Cabana to be the one to beat Lethal. The way OReilly has been booked and the matches he has been given recently with his win over Adam Cole and the speech he made after that match and now on this up and coming ppv wrestling the IWPG champ. OReilly is the exact type of workhorse wrestler that ROH likes to have an there champ.

I would be greatly disappointed if Cabana of all people is the one to finally beat Lethal. OReilly deserves it more and would get a huge rub from being the one to beat Lethal and it would really put him on another level.

Anybody else feel like ROH has become far too reliant on the NJPW connection? I feel like it sort of makes them feel inferior in some ways, every big show involves NJPW guys now and their own roster development has suffered as a result. Don't get me wrong - I love seeing the NJPW guys mix it up with the ROH guys, but it felt more special when it wasn't almost every show (just how it feels, clearly an exaggeration).

Keeping in mind that I didn't watch the show, I have to say that bringing Colt back and doing this match ON PAY PER VIEW just so it can set up Cole joining Bullet Club in the MAIN EVENT of said pay per view is NOT the type of business ROH should be doing. I absolutely HATE when PPVs end with no real decision. Hated it with Orton & Bryan, hated it when Undertaker returned and ruined Lesnar vs. Rollins, and now ROH is doing it? Oh man...

Again, I haven't seen the show yet so I'll reserve judgement for when I do, but I can definitely assure you I'm glad I didn't pay the $35-45 for it.

Lemme get them ratings @MarkyWhipwreck

Gotcha brotha

Castle v. Roddy v. ACH v. Page - ** 3/4, solid opener

Addiction v. Cheesburger & Liger - **, fun for what it was.

War Machine v. Briscoes - *** 1/4, shocking near falls here helped the match I liked it

Kyle O'Reilly v. Tetsuya Naito - *** 1/2, disappointed actually because I felt this had more but it wasn't a bad match by any means and Naito was killing it the whole match

Tanahashi/Elgin v. Okada/Moose - ***, might be slightly to high on this but this was fun and the crowd was uber hot for Okada/Tana

Bobby Fish v. Ishii - ***, you could tell Bobby wasn't use to working Ishii's style of match but I think he did alright and surprisingly I liked the finish

Lethal/Cabana - ***, This match was on its way to being pretty good but then the interference happened

MOTN was O'Reilly/Naito although it could've been Lethal/Cabana had the match kept going.

FINALLY, ROH has some up to date TV for me to watch! :mark:

Fun show this week with some good build to things I didn't even know were being built. :p ACH looks like he's ready to be a breakout star finally. Hopefully he can get a nice singles push and maybe win the TV Title a few months down the line.

Nice to see why this MCMG/Addiction match actually makes sense for BITW, but I still think it's really strange to not see the title change happen on TV and still not even see the rematch on TV, but hey, maybe they're trying to get more VOD buys? Just put the titles on Shelley & Sabin please.

I was really glad they put so many clips up from Global Wars and WOTW week (even though they're almost a month old now). The execution for Page's turn looked really well done and the crowd obviously seems SUPER responsive to all this Bullet Club shit, so I can't complain as much I'd like to. It feels like the NWO all over again though. Shouldn't they be taking over the company and winning all the titles or something?

Main event was a blast (Tanahashi, Elgin, & Tatsu vs. The ELITE). I always love it when Tanahashi mocks them and Matt Taven was hilarious on commentary. *** 1/4

Lethal vs. Dijak next week! Technically tomorrow night for me. :p Glad to have you back, ROH! It's been too long.

I just scored some wicked tickets to the house show in Buffalo on September 17th. I'm taking my wife. She's not even sure what she's getting into (she watches WWE but she's more than just a "wife that puts up with it", she likes it. I know that front row tickets and Adam Page will sell her.

Our tickets are in the purple circle.
