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.

Just finished the long (3 1/2 hour) drive home from the Atlanta show.

I was blown away, as expected, but probably even moreso.

We got to witness the Bullet Club Curtain Call (AJ came out to join Bucks and Doc and Machine Gun and hug it out) at the end. I finally got to see Dalton Castle live (OMG, and I never, ever type OMG) and against one of my favorites, Corey Hollis -- they gave them a good 15 minutes of back and forth. Dalton had two "fake" boys -- one of whom was quite hairy, haha.

We were front row and had a lot of interaction: everybody in the BC except Doc too-sweeted us (including AJ!), Jay Briscoe got slammed HARD into the barrier right at our feet (move it back about 18 inches or more), ACH kept looking over at us for quick side comments during their match, and Sydal came over to us after they won, and best of all Stokely Carmichael kept talking to us when we were trying to persuade Cheeseburger not to tag in (he was with Moose; Stokely was like "I know, I tell him this all the time and he tags in anyway," then later when Burger tagged in he walked all the way to the rail to us to say, "He is a Make-a-Wish Kid, he is living his dream") haha.

We had a great time. Glad we got to see the final Bullet Club appearance in this incarnation. Might have topped last year's Atlanta winter show, and this venue is much better.

Here is a nice way to see ROH's attendance growth over the last few years
2013: 19,546 fans over 32 events for an average of 566*
2014: 24,400 fans over 30 events for an average of 813
2015: 39,625 fans over 42 events for an average of 944**
2016: 15,760 fans over 14 events for an average of 1,126*** (so far)

*2 shows had unreported attendance, actually 34 shows run. Final Battle had "over 1,000" but 1,000 was used for the average
**Final Battle 2015 attendance unknown, actually 43 shows run
***3 shows have unknown attendance, actually 17 shows run (so far)

ROH TV EPISODE #176 2015 JANUARY 31 REVIEW

Romantic Touch vs Big Moose
***
Average match. Romantic Touch is entertaining and Big Moose is a beast. I love his power moves and he doesn't seem to slow down. The spear is crazy! We haven't seen Moose since Final Battle, so I hope they have some direction for him, since he already took care of RD Evans and the streak.

The Decade vs Top Prospects
SIX-MAN TAG MATCH
**1/2
Whatever match. Pretty forgettable. I feel that the top prospects should only be used in singles match-ups because they have more to showcase that way. Tag matches should be kept at a minimum and six-man tags shouldn't even happen. This match took time away from the show. If this match wasn't booked, then the other matches would get more time, but I understand that they are working on a storyline here with The Decade wanting a new prospect young boy for the stable.

TOP PROSPECT MATCH
Ashley Sixx vs Dalton Castle
***1/4
Decent match. Nice, fast-paced action. I really like this Dalton Castle guy. He reminds me of 90's rasslin. I can't believe he lost though. I would have given 1/4 star more if the match was a little longer. I hope the second round of the Top Prospect tournament is as great as the first round.

Adam Cole promo :flip ADAM COLE BABY!

ACH vs Matt Sydal vs Jay Lethal (c)
TRIPLE THREAT TV CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
****1/2
Fantastic match. Fast-paced. High-intensity. Great storytelling in the ring and in terms of creative process. Without ACH and Sydal tag teaming in the tag wars, they wouldn't be able to say that they are both faces and friends. The 2-on-1 handicap story worked perfectly in this match. Great mark-out moments. Amazing spots. Short of 5 stars only because I knew Lethal would retain and it was too short to have that special epic big match feel.


Is anyone enjoying these reviews? Should I STFU?

I got DirecTV a month or so ago.

Didn't realize that I got New Japan until I was flipping channels about a week ago ... and stumbled across Richochet in Best of the Super Juniors.

Awesome. Plus I now can record shows so I have ROH and the upcoming Pegasus thing episodes on auto-record so I don't miss anything.

Life is good.

Yeah, it's starting to wear on me. I can only chuckle at so many "Suck it" taunts and handspring back rakes.

But hey, the lack of psychology isn't something the ol' GAP Performance Center couldn't fix.
