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.

Anyone else think Adam Cole needs a new finisher? That cross armed German Suplex doesn't have much impact to it. It looked especially weak in his match against Hero. I know he uses the figure four alot but i think he needs a replacement for the Florida Key, he needs a finisher with more impact. I'd say start using that low level super kick more to finish guys.

Agreed, The Florida key is a pretty weak finisher. I'd like him to use the Panama sunrise again, it's a more serious and legit looking finisher imo. IDK why he hasn't used it in ROH much

Cole's been exposed as a totally average singles wrestler lately, IMO. In the last 10-12 months, that is. Almost everything in his moveset reeks of randomness.

Finally watched the episode for last week, my impressions (remember, I'm new at ROH):

Positive:

+ Really like the tag match. Very dinamic and well paced. For what I understood, the N° 1 contender allied himself with the two winner, right?
+ Lethal/Ciampa was another great match. Very well worked, going for less to high, and Taven was ok in the comments. I really like that Martini guy.
+ I really like that Adam Cole/ Jay Briscoe feud. Both guys have personality and are very good, so I want to see much more of them.

Neutral:

~ For what I understand, Kevin Steen is a huge deal in the indy scene, and I can't judge him properly because I'm a noob still, but I never like Homicide and that guy Kingston doesn't make anything for me.

Negative:

- If someone can explain me this will be really nice, but how they records for TV works? Last 2 weeks we're recaps of the annyversary, and Cole says that Briscoe defeated him in Texas, was a house show or another thing? I don't like the feeling of losing part of the storie.

7/10 My first ROH tv show was good, and I give them credit for being a just a 50 minutes one.

ROH does TV tapings, but they also do recaps of big events and house shows to supplement what they tape since they don't do enough tapings to fill out the year.

RoH TV 22/03/2014:

Positive:

+ Everything. The 3 vs 3 was amazing. Adrenaline Rush and Everett we're really hot, and Decade was just behind them, a great spotfest. That promo of Michael Elgin was good.
So RoH have some silly gimmicks like Romantic Touch and RD Evans, and I love it, very entertaining and the goofy ending was very funny, also, I really like Silas Young, so more of him, the better. That little teaser of The Fish Tank of the RedDragons with Cheeseburger was great in the way "so bad that is good". Cedric/Page was another good match, I'm really liking the RoH style of mathches. And the MONT was easily the main event, all that four mens we're really impressive, and Maria is always a plus. Hell, The Briscoes are that kind of wrestler that makes you a fan almost instantly.

Nothing Neutral or Negative last week.

10/10. Maybe is because I'm still newer to RoH, but the show of last week was simply amazing. One question, why the crowd do "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" when Cole makes anything? :lmao

I've been getting back into ROH of late. I was a big fan of the promotion from 2002-2005. Then I moved onto other things and only watched the occasional match. I'm hoping to hit up the Baltimore show in a few weeks. It would be my first live ROH experience since January 2006.

Thought the opener was laughably bad with The Decade having to sell a bunch of phony looking offense from the babyfaces. Total amateur hour. I want to like The Decade because Jimmy Jacobs! But they haven't done much for me yet. One of the worst matches I saw all year.

The second match might have been even worse. I hope to never see RD Evans on my TV screen again. Johnnie Stewart was a poor man's Ric Flair. RD Evans is a poor man's Johnnie Stewart. This is what a Rockabilly vs. Sal Sincere match would have looked like had it been booked by Vince Russo. Take back what I said about never wanting to see RD Evans again. I'd pay money to see Silas Young whip that jabroni for five minutes straight.

The Fish Bowl was bad sports entertainment. Cheeseburger (I can't believe I just wrote that) might be even worse than RD Evans. Soooo bushleague. I don't really get Bobby Fish either. Is he supposed to be, like, a "tough guy nerd," or something? O'Reilly comes off as a great douchebag though.

I missed Page/Alexander.

Main event was good. Loved Mark's Blockbuster to the floor. Bennett flying in out of nowhere to spear Mark off the apron through a table was awesome. I'm not sold on Cole yet. Didn't like the Hero match (to be fair, Hero was involved, and he might be my least favorite big indy star ever) and he comes off as a high school kid pretending to be Flair or HHH on promos. His wimpy heel act seems so forced to me. But I did like his finishing sequence with Jay Briscoe here. Each man teased his finisher a few times before Jay put Cole away with the Jay Driller. Good booking putting Jay over leading up to the big one on one ladder match encounter. Though I hate how Jay, the babyface, claims to be the real world champion. Does that seem backwards to anybody else?

Final Thoughts- Bad show, though the main event is worth a watch. It was up there with Ciampa vs. Young and Ciampa vs. HANSON as the best ROH match I've seen since I started to occasionally watch the promotion again.

Seeing the Delirious promo for his Adam Cole match -- long time since I had seen him and forgot his unintelligible speaking style -- makes me wonder what it's like for guys on the production, camera and announce crews with him talking into their ears.

Page became their Young Boy at the last Milwaukee show in March. After multiple matches vs the Decade, Jimmy convinced him to not follow Cedric's example and that they could lead him on the right path to future stardom if he hung with them.

At Supercard ACH "hurt" himself after a dive during a 6 man with TD and Everett vs the Decade

TD was alone and got beaten and berated after the match. Jimmy threatened to spike TD but ACH couldn't help him partner. At the TV taping the next day Jimmy convinced TD to join them after ACH left him alone.

I think a good place to start is "All Star Extravaganza 5", which is where a tournament to crown a new ROH champion begins. The tourney plays out from July to September. So start with ASE 5, then move on to "Manhattan Mayhem 5" and "Death Before Dishonor 11". That's over 10 hours of wrestling right there.

Did anyone else see the Charm City Sreetfight that happened on ROH TV. When one of the wrestlers took a ladder into the ring it looked like it was made out rubber. The reason why I'm saying this is becuase when one of the wrestlers was thrown on it and then got off of it, it bounced back like nobody was thrown into it at all. When you get the chance to watch it, you'll see what I mean about the ladder looking like it was made of rubber.

I tried to find it. YouTube only has the last 9 minutes; Dailymotion doesn't have it. If you have access to wrestling torrents, or buy Steen's DVD "Descent into Madness", it's there.
