ROH SUCKS

AntMan · 10-23-2011, 01:25 AM

I thought ROH was pretty good tonight. I like how they're building the tag team title match for Final Battle. The Briscoes are the best tag team act in wrestling besides Beer Money, who are probably breaking up soon. They have personality and are characters. ROH needs a little bit more of that in my opinion; guys who can work, but also have something extra. That's why I hope ROH brings Colt Cabana back soon, because that dude is funny and he's a solid worker. As much as I enjoy watching Davey, Eddie, and Roddy at times none of them should be the face of ROH. Those guys don't have an it factor.

They're best hope is that one of the former ROH guys like Joe or AJ leave TNA because they're former world champions and you can put them in main event mix right away. That's a much better option than bringing in a guy like MVP, The Pope, or JoMo and making them the face because they're former world champions with strong ties to Ring of Honor.

Episode 5(10/22) in the books, and once again, I enjoyed it. The venue change was nice, obviously The Davis Arena is much smaller and the ring also looked smaller, but I like it. I felt like I was watching WCW Saturday Night the whole time.

Perkins vs. Mondo was pretty good. I have no problem with them using Mondo on the tv tapings. He's a solid worker with a clear gimmick. Can't help but laugh at the guy either, especially when they interview him. Perkins only sampled some of the things he can do in this one, it's gonna be awesome to see him go balls out in the future. Solid match. **1/2

The Briscoes promo was fuckin crazy. They ended it by yelling in the mic and headbutting each other. Once again, we're gonna get Briscoes/ANX next week with the winner getting a Tag Title shot at Final Battle. So if ANX were to win at GBH X, and the Briscoes win next week, we get this all over again. But I don't see that happening anyway. After the promo, wouldn't it be really awesome if the Briscoes said, you know what, in order for us to prepare for the WGTT, we need to fight each other and at GBH X they just beat the shit out of each other to prepare themselves. Make it happen!

The Inside ROH segment was also really good. They started out with Roddy and Truth, who issued an open invitational challenge for anyone in the world to face him at Final Battle. I 145% think it's gonna be Nigel after what happened last week. Then they switched to Davey, who looks like a fag with mohawk. But besides that, he talked about his training and shit. The cool part was that they showed footage from New Japan. And that's that. Main event time.

Lethal vs. Bennett really surprised me. Real old school style match with Bennett controlling most of it and Lethal makin a comeback, only to be cut off by the time limit once again. The ending was really odd and not entirely all that exciting but I really enjoyed the match. Highlight spots were Lethal hitting an ace crusher off the handspring against the ropes and Bennett countering Lethal's top rope springboard into a spinebuster. I can't believe I'm saying this but Bennett's starting to grow on me. His moveset is expanding, obviously he's a great heel, and he can work a solid match. Lethal is really over with the crowd and I think this will down the line create some sort of a title rematch with Bennett claiming Lethal never beat him. Check this out if you have any Bennett doubts. ***1/4

Next week:

Roderick Strong vs. Kyle O'Reilly
The Briscoes vs. ANX

Great episode! Enjoyed the opening match. Loving the build up for the tag titles. Makes it feel really special, and I'm looking forward to the match when it does happen. TV Title match was grand! So good to see Lethal in that position after being dropped by TNA.

I don't know if anyone else is watching on the website? But I can't seem to access the high quality versions, which is a bit annoying. Gonna send them an email, but thought I'd see if anyone else had experienced the same?

Same things have happened to me. The past two episodes weren't available in high quality. Plus for some reason they uploaded this episode in standard format, where even when you watch it full screen the picture doesn't expand.

E05 Thoughts

- TJ-Mondo was great. Mondo is an awesome goofball heel and everything TJ does is super smooth.
- Love the Davis Arena. Compact fight club feel.
- Using New Japan footage was a nice touch.
- Crowd really into Lethal-Bennett.

- Was a mistake to put a Shelton Benjamin promo after a Jay Briscoe promo.
- Kevin Kelly made a few basic errors.

Overall, best episode yet. Picking up momentum. Also hinted at Roddy vs. Nigel for Final Battle.
