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.

ROH TV 10/27/2012

Features:
The Briscoes vs The Bravado's
A surprise return of a tag team
The 6-way Survival of the Fittest finals

This was a good show. The main event was long and strong and the opener was very good as well. I liked how they built up Survival of the Fittest and the match lived up to it's build. Good edition of ROH and it's definitely worth a look! Full review in my blog with pics/gifs and quotes!

I haVe Such a man crush on more than half of the iws roster I'm all for more Shane Matthews in particular hell bring in beef Wellington, sexy eddy, the Viking, and the name of one guy who escapes me but he's worked combat zone, he's an insane promo, and I think he had a roud rage gimmick. Anyway to my point by Quebec talent would make me happy. Hell that's where steen and generics came from.

Doubt it was anything more then just a one-shot against the Bravados but I wouldn't be against a couple of appearances. ROH has to get somebody better then Haas/Benjamin, Titus/Whitmer and the Headbangers.

^ I ordered this thing and just watched this. Here's my review:

Episode one.

The venue looked pretty good and I was glad that you almost couldn't saw the open seats. Good job there, SBG. Great way to open the show with The Briscoes' promo and the announcment about the new matchmaker.

Mischif vs Allysin Kay was ok, I didn't cared too much about the match to be fair because I was listening to Nigel and Kelly talking about the Ladder War and the 3-Way. Still it was fun little match as I said and Kay was good. *3/4

Truth Martini was gold in the shows I've seen. He did an awesome job by playing someone who keep saying everything is fine even if he knows it's not. Best manager today in my opinion, looking forward to see what'll be his future after FB12. Strong vs Thomas was good, Strong once again showd that he's the pefrect guy for matches with new guys like Thomas. Thomas is good for his current role right now but if he'll be in the Mid-Card in the future I hope he'll add more moves to his moveset because he's overusing his kicks. **1/2

Cole vs O'Reilly was so exciting to watch. It was shorter than I thought but the match was packed of action and crowd was soooooooooooooooooo hot. Great first Main Event and great match to end their feud. O'Reilly is reminds me Nakamura with his facial expressions lately and I love it.

This was a really good show, defintely felt much more diffrent than the Baltimore crowd and Corenette booking.

Episode Two.

Benjamin Whitmer :lol: I officaly loves the PGH crowd. There's the NYC atmosphere but just the fans not being totall dicks, would love to see their more tapings/IPPVs. Charlie Haas finally did his old schicks (it didn't worked with Baltimore) and the crowd loved it. The match wasn't something diffrent than their last TV match which is great because I was a fan of the last TV match. Was happy that finally C&C with pin and not stupid roll-up, this match made them looked good. ***

Fish vs Mc'Bride was nothing more than showcase Fish so I won't rate this. Don't know if Roundhouse Kick is the best finisher for Fish because DR and O'Reilly are using this.

The O'Reilly and Richards was pretty decent. Yeah, they had the whole "you are my brother", "my best friend" thing that people didn't liked and I wasn't a fan of that too but then O'Reilly saved it after he and Fish attacked Davey. O'Reilly's mic-skills are so much better than last year. They annouced American Wolves vs Fish & O'Reilly but it still not offical since Edwards is in Japan and he didn't accept to team up with Davey again so I guess we'll wait to his offical OK.

SCUM vs BJ Express was good. I'm kinda tired of writing right now so I'll just say this was fun and the only not-good thing about this was Rhett's typical sloppiness in the end. They did a good job with hyping the match between BJ Express and WGTT and gave them actaully lots of TV time. Looking forward to the match, for those who don't know it's NYC Street Fight... **1/2

Episode Three.

Briscoes vs Headbangers was ok, Mark took some nasty spots on the floor. Ending was bad and very Cornette-ise. **

QT Marshall vs Adam Page was really short, I guess because of Marshall's bloody nose. The post-match promo was really funny and I enjoyed Nigel and RD Evans chemistry, would like to see more promos between them. RD Evans vs Nana in Final Battle will be amazing. N/R

Elgin vs Richards was their typical great match and very similar to their PWG encounter. I believe I'll be enjoy the match much more when I'll be watching the episode again in three weeks from now because I just the 3 episods without stopping. Great TV match and worth checking in my opinion. ***1/2-***3/4

Just want to mention that Lethal was good too with being pissed about how things went for him, looking forward to his feud with Steen after Final Battle and hope he'll win the belt at Mania-Weekend or BITW (you can't do it at Canada's show)
So the shows were great. Really diffrent feeling and everything felt important with purpose unlike Cornette's no-point booking. The results and way the match ended were good too besids the bad Briscoes/Bangers match and this thing totally was worth the 6$ IMO.

Thanks for this great review Embassy..I thought about buying the early bird special, but then I figured I might get a little bit bored between know and FinalBattle 12 which I am buying. Glad to hear about the great crowd in Pittsburgh. I definitely feel this can be built up into an A market eventually. Pittsburgh fans have always been good to hardworking indy's.

ROH TV Review (11/17/12)

Quick Thoughts: Really good show this week, you got an outstanding opening promo segment with Briscoe and Nigel. Good Inside ROH this week, two solid undercard matches and a really good main event as expected, Cole & O’Reilly chemistry is insane I could see these guys ME’ing Final Battle one day.


MsChif vs. Allysin Kay- **1/2
Roderick Strong vs. Tadarius Thomas- **1/4
Adam Cole vs. Kyle O’Reilly- ***1/2
 
#1,407 ·
It was a decent match, not near their match earlier in the year. Adam Page vs. QT Marshall was too short to be anything and definitely skip Headbangers/Briscoes. Oh and Nigel, it's 2012. You can call Eddie in Japan.

I have never seen an episode of this show since it doesn't show in my area(go figure it shows an hour south of me and an hour north) and I really don't have the interest of searching for it online. That being said can someone tell me how good this show actually is. Watched a Best of ROH HDNet dvd today and I was wondering if it was up to that standard or...I don't know. That being said I have no idea who is going to be in it besides the guys mentioned but if that means some of these guys get more exposure and a possible shot with ROH then I am all for it. Pumping some fresh blood into a company is not usually a bad idea. Even if only 1 or 2 of them end up sticking around it could be worth it for ROH. Besides the guys mentioned people said that one possibly looks like Matt Taven and another possibly looks like Silas Young. As long as a guy like QT Marshall doesn't win then things would look swell for ROH with this tournament. It would allow ROH to give a guy momentum that they already haven't botched it all for yet.

As far as comparing Sinclair to HDNet, I think Sinclair is the easier show to watch because of the way it's setup and there's more than just matches. Promos, vid packages, etc. It actually fells like a wrestling show, not just an hour of recorded matches with an occasional highlight from an iPPV or something. That being said, match quality on HDNet kicks the shit out of Sinclair. One year into the show so far, I think I have 3 matches at the *** 3/4 level (Davey/Roddy World Title, Lethal/Generico I & Davey/Eddie IV) with nothing dipping into that 4-star level. One year into HDNet shows and I have seven **** matches at the minimum. I think a lot of it has to do with the booking as well but I don't think a 'Best of Sinclair' DVD will ever be as good as an HDNet disc & match quality is what I care about most.
 
#1,416 ·
That's kinda what I was expecting I guess which is why I haven't fretted too much about watching the show. Its wrestling so I expect promos, video packages, and such on a wrestling show but if I have to make the extra effort to catch the show I would like it too guarantee a certain match quality. That's why I enjoyed the HDNet show and why I forced my parents to pay the extra money to keep HDNet so I could watch it :p . Then Time Warner said that some other channel was better at getting males to pay. I think that's stupid since it also had, and from what I hear has, the best MMA talk show on TV. But this is a wrestling forum so I digress.

Can someone also explain to me the purpose of a Road Rage episdoe or whatever its called? From what I understand it is just matches from iPPV that they release on free TV. To me that sounds like a reason to not buy an iPPV so I feel like I must be missing something.This Top Prospect Tournament is intriguing me so I may try and find a way to watch them depending on the talent since it looks like most of them outside of QT Marshall and Thomas are guys that didn't stick in ROH when they were there before despite being quality guys.
 
#1,417 ·
Well the Road Rage episodes come in two varieties: Either they show matches from a DVD taping that further a push or an angle (like with Mondo/Richards or Edwards/Steen for the title) or ippv matches from the show they promoted. Like last week's Year In Review, this week's Best Match of The Year and probably next week's Final Battle update. Really they're just filler to put shows on because with they're taping schedule they can't have(or don't want to spend the money on) first run-shows every week.

The Top Prospect Tournament sounds good and it should at least bring new blood in for a bit, as long as QT Marshall doesn't win.

- Ring of Honor is reportedly planning to run four major iPPV events in 2013 and then a series of events on iPPV as well. The plan is run two to three events per month (not including television tapings). ROH also wants to convert the television to HD quality by the end of the year.

Is Sinclair finally putting money into ROH?
 
#1,419 ·
Improving the production would help greatly. Still don't know about the saturation of ippv events, at most they should run 5 and focus more on tv tapings so they don't appear out of date before they even come on.

ROH on Sinclair - Episode 44 - 21/7/12

1. Mike Bennett & Brutal Bob vs Adam Cole & Eddie Edwards
**1/2

2. Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team vs Fusion DS
Skipped

3. Kevin Steen vs Mike Mondo
***1/4

Finally watched some more TV... Its weird because I've seen the event this show was leading up to but I'm just so far behind on their TV.
