no, it's absolutely not that.

we'll see what happens once the introductory period is over but so far this has been more skippable than HDNet.

watching RoH on sinclair has been the first bit of wrestling ive watched in months, im not a big RoH fan but not of it and the workers. I love the show, for me personally i have enjoyed all the matches, ive liked the segments introducing or talking about the workers, the production isn't very good but i get past it because its nice to see some actual wrestling! im exited to watch it every week and have deleted every other wrestling show off my sky + because this is all i need!

No, what I said this is a new show. It should be a clean slate, and ROH should use that clean slate to educate that fans on who these guys are without references the past that much. The audience shouldn't have to search the internet and buy old dvds to learn about the history. It's the same problem with comic books. The show feels like it's for its' existing fans, not new ones.

The show needs a name as well. Like ROH ....

Every other wrestling promotion with a weekly show has a name for it. Makes it easier to distinguish the TV Show from other shows and easier to promote and such.

This is exactly what I thought. Also the opening titles need to be changed, the HDNet ones where great, why not keep the same kind of thing?

Im not sure about that man...

I studied philosophy at university and you've still lost me.

Have to disagree. I'm new to ROH due to the TV show, and I am following the show just fine. They have done a good job for example introducing and showing a new star every week. For example, the Briscos in the first three weeks. By the time they had their match on tv this week I was invested in seeing what they were really like. They kind of remind me of the Bushwackers if they were not a comedy act in the WWE. (Not an intended insult BTW)

Something about this show just hasn't clicked for me. Part of it could be that I was there live and I couldn't imagine watching some of those matches again. I agree there needs to be a name and better credits. Briscoes are always entertaining and I wish Jay was feuding with Davey or something rather than chase the tag belts again. They just need some compelling feuds and more interesting TV.
