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.

I'll highly doubt a championship switch on one of the upcoming shows. That doesn't seem like a logical option for ROH these days. Besides, I can see Matt Hardy walking away as champion. No reason to have Jay Briscoe drop the gold so soon when the heel champ on the horizon has a decent show at capturing it.

All conjecture at this point, of course.

LOL @ At people wanting Jay to get fired. He'll keep the title until MM probably (It seems like Elgin/Briscoe will headline this show and there's no way Elgin will lose there). People will forget about these tweets next week as always. Sadly Jay removed his twitter account which sucks because I always enjoyed his tweets.

Why am I not surprised that Jay is a worthless human being, in real life?

I'm honestly surprised at how EmbassyForever is laughing it off, though. Should ignoramic statements that are a) illegal and b) enforcing the perpetuation of a heterosexist, hegemonic society go without repercussion? A simple apology would be for naught, as we all know he wouldn't mean it, but do you continue to let your company's "face" (in this term, its champion) bring down your company's reputation?

I'm in no way defend him or what he said and after ROH's world champion last year buried them not once publicly I'm not surprised that ROH won't do anything major, but people are overracting. Jay shouldn't be fired. He apologized and there's something called freedom of speech. And of course, he could always claim that someone hacked his account.. :p

Is this about political correctness? That's why I hate and don't do Twittah. Modern wrestling needs more violent dont-give-a-fuck ******** who are willing to stab each other over nothing. Twittah makes people soft.

Reading this imagining it's being said by Bully Ray. :lol

I don't really care about what Jay has to say. He can have his own opinion and say whatever he wants, doesn't really bother me whether it's something I agree/disagree with and whether it's truly right or wrong in your mind.
 
#1,591 · (Edited)
It isn't about political correctness, it's about blatant moronic ideologies and prejudicial statements that waver toward the confines of violent outburst. Keep Jay's ******* character within wrestling (and as a heel), it's the moment his real life persona speaks up about it I will question it.

Freedom of speech up until it affects another, though, right? Not that this affects society at all, hey.

I'm considering paying the $7.99 per month to join the ROH website and get access and discounts etc. Is it worth it? I'm a total ROH newbie, been watching some old Bryan Danielson ROH stuff so it's caught my interest.

ROH has managed to contain a bit of both the "spotty" lads & masters of the mat into their shows over the years. Especially during the early years of ROH the cards were rather polarizing. First half would contain the high flyer types/the more or less typical undercard indie guys. They would put on a show better to be enjoyed from a "mindless" perspective; meanwhile the upper card was featuring the standouts of the company and putting on some truly mesmerizing bouts. Then on occasion ROH would allow a Scramble Cage Match to main event over something more deserving just b/c it was a steel cage. Sometimes I wasn't always on board with that. 8*D

As the years would reach its peak you'd notice the quality of the cards start to develop into stronger from top to bottom. Pretty soon, nearly every match on the events were well worth seeing.

what happened to Mondo? What does that mean no condition to compete? Was he high or injured?

I'm interested in this because mondo broke his leg doing something silly for the promotion. Hope they treat him right.

No if he was just injured they'd just hold him out until he was ready to come back. Sounds like he was on something which sucks because you never want to see someone in that situation. That said:



What episode was Strong/Ishimori on again?
