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.
So when is the date for Best in the World? Looking like a lot of interesting World Championship matches are coming down the pike for DVD shows yet BITW's main is up in the air. No doubt it's looking to be Jay Briscoe vs the S.C.U.M. pick. Obviously will be Matt Hardy.
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.
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.
Jay Briscoe @jaybriscoe84 5h
... try and teach my kids that there's nothing wrong with that and I'll fucking shoot you
Jay Briscoe @jaybriscoe84 5h
The Delaware Senate passed a bill yesterday that allows same sex couples to get married. If that makes you happy, then congratulations!!!!!!
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..
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.
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.
Definitely worth it. The VOD section is loaded with a shit ton of shows from the past, individual classic matches, all of their weekly TV shows, & a bunch more. You'll find plenty of classic Danielson on there. (Y)
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.
Overall thoughts: The show featured all rehashes from the PPV. I only thought one of the matches shown was any good. There is no need to see this if you saw the PPV already.
ROH has informed Mike Mondo that he is no longer being booked after he was deemed in no condition to participate at a recent ROH clinic, as first reported in Thursday's Dot Net Weekly audio show.
Sounds like he was on something, but who knows. Forget about Mondo, everyone go watch and enjoy Roddy vs. Ishimori! Way better than all the other shit this company has put out this year.
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:
