I want to like Bison Smith, mainly because ROH needs a big man, but Bison Smith is just not good.

Also, I've been highly unimpressed by D'Lo in ROH thus far.

And they better plan on bringing Jimmy Jacobs back. They removed him entirely from the roster.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree here, because I think he's pretty crappy. Not just in ROH, but even in NOAH. I've never been a fan. He wants to be Vader-esque, but he only looks intimidating against lightweights (which granted, ROH has a "smaller" roster), but even then, he's really clunky.

I'm very excited about that, I've always been a Roderick Strong fan and Nigel has had the fight of the night the last two time he wrestled at an event I was at. So I'm looking foward to that as well. Now, here's hoping Danielson, Castagnoli, and A Double get good matches as well.

Roderick Strong is an awesome wrestler, don't get me wrong, but I don't know if he has what it takes in the charisma department to be ROH champ. Look at Aries, look at Nigel, look at American Dragon, all awesome with the charisma factors (American Dragon as a heel was awesome), Alls I remember Roderick doing was saying shut up to the crowd everytime they chanted Roooooooooooderick.

mike adamle
08-20-2009, 01:47 AM
And as for the ladder war, I think I'm going to it, which is awesome, and I've heard a rumor that the ladder war will also include the Briscoe's, don't know if it's true or not, but it's AWESOME if it is.

mike adamle
08-20-2009, 01:56 AM
He's one of my ROH fav's. Nigel & American Drgon top him, but he's right under them. Well, I don't exactly know if TNA fucked up letting him go, since I don't know if they would've used him right. Look at The MCMG, they barley get TV time, Austin Aries would be like them.

Adam Pearce really dropped the ball with booking Tyler Black. Gabe had everything built up perfectly before he left and now he's just kinda in limbo.

mike adamle
08-20-2009, 02:03 AM
Unlike everyone else I like him. I do see him as next world champ (not my opinion, but as the way he's being booked on their tv show it's happening) not really what I want, I don't think he's ready for that, but I do think he's good.

Oh I think he's overrated, don't get me wrong, I just don't think he's as bad as most people say. He has great in ring skills, it's just that he cuts worse promos than Jack Swagger.

Bison Smith, ehhh, I'm not too impressed, he needs work, he has potential, but need A LOT of work.

Don't worry about the questions, I'll answer what you've got.

Kane86
08-20-2009, 02:21 AM
Well Bison Smith is just taking the spot Abyss was in when he was in the Embassy.
He is just Muscle but I like watching him Crush the little guys.

What do you think about Claudio? I think he is awesome and one of my favorite heels.

Eh, Abyss was much better, and much more talented IMO. Claudio is the man. I think he, instead of Roderick is really the one man who hasn't been ROH Champ who should.

Abyss is one of the best big men out there he deserves more recognition for it. It sucks TNA wrestlers can't go back to ROH. I would really like to see Abyss vs Bison Smith.

Bison Smith vs Necro Butcher in like a Street Fight or something would be good.

I really could care less about Brent Albright his in ring ability is Sub par and his Promos just suck.

But Claudio would be an excellent heel champ. I would like to see him and Hero get back together.

Speaking of Hero I like his New Gimmick. But what are your thoughts on the Hero/Kingston fued?

I know its been going on since CZW in 2005 but man it is one for the history books.

I prefer Eddie Kingston out of the two. The Last Man Standing match they had at the TPI 2006 was just INSANE1

I'll have to check it out. My issue isn't with him itself, but him in ROH. I want to like him, but he just sticks out like a sore thumb in ROH, and it rubs me the wrong way. Like, ROH is suppose to be an alternative to bad gimmicks, and granted, it's sort of a kick back to the 80's, I hate the clash of his gimmick with the rest of the roster.

They're not trying to be black, that's just how they talk. No offense but I'm not crazy about "like they're black" sayings. It's more that they think they're from the city, you know?

Jimmy Jacobs is great at just about everything besides being an imposing threat, and for awhile he had the AOTF to fix that, then he had Brodie Lee, and now I'm not sure where they're gonna go with him when he comes back.

He was even able to pull off a whiney pussy gimmick well with the whole angle with Lacey. His match with Colt Cabana was great...

Talk about guys that should be ROH Champion... Cabana should turn heel and be like a goofy aggogant jackass that beats everyone while making fun of them. I think that would be awesome. He could take a page out of Don Muraco's playbook and beat Rhett Titus or someone while eating a sandwich it'd be hilarious/great.

Ladder War...

Well now that Danielson is leaving. He should face off against Nigel for sure in hhis last show. They are perfect for each other.

Would love to see the briscoes involved in that ladder war.

Danielson's last show will be the 9/26 New York show which I'm going to. He's going to be facing Aries. Initially I thought the ladder war would close the show but I don't see any way Aries/Danielson doesn't go on last. He'll get a hell of an ovation at the end of that match.

ROH is coming to my hometown, Windsor, Ontario.

This is very strange to me. Gonna check the show though.

Well, that NYC show is GBH. And Claudio vs. Omega has been announced for it. That happened in NYC at Final Battle 2008 and it was fun live, but sucked on the DVD.

My only problem with ROH right now is that they seemingly lack that "top star" to obviously de-throne Aries. It seemed like Tyler Black was being sold as that guy, but like Nigel McGuinness, I fear that they've waited too long, and I'm not sure if I'll really care if he achieves it.

A lot of guys in ROH seem to be meandering. Roderick Strong, Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Brent Albright and Colt Cabana are all top-notch workers, but seem to be floating around doing nothing. Dare I say it, but it might be time to give Kevin Steen and El Generico singles pushes to sort things out a bit. Or move Steenerico into a feud with The Embassy so that Albright and Cabana can move up.

I'd also love to see ROH get Jimmy Jacobs, Paul London & Brian Kendrick back. Kendrick with Brodie Lee as a bodyguard in ROH could be greatness. Jacobs, without The Age of the Fall shtick, could actually be a major player in ROH. Paul London, when not being a bitch, is Paul fucking London. Since he's done his dash with the WWE, and even TNA, London could be a ROH faithful that the promotion could actually get behind.

Bringing in Rob Van Dam for a big weekend would be greatness, too. Have him face Jerry Lynn one night, as a throwback to their ECW series, and then have him challenge Austin Aries for the ROH World Title another night. Aries and Lynn going over a former WWE Champion would do wonders for ROH's credibility. But would RVD agree to it?

Is it just me or does Kenny Omega seem to be being built up as a major threat to Aries' title? I've heard good things about Omega, but is he ROH World Title worthy?

RVD should go over Lynn and lose to Aries. he'd do whatever is best for business though.

I'd like to see him face Danielson actually.

Truthfully, Danielson leaving the company gives them a sudden burst. The Final Countdown Tour is going to attract a lot of fence-sitters when ROH comes to their area, and for anyone who has appreciated Danielson's work, they might be inclined to buy the DVD associated with it.

Plus, interest will be buzzing about what ROH does without Danielson, which allows them to get someone else to step up and face Austin Aries, and actually get something compelling going.

And now that Danielson has moved up to the big time, if ROH plays their cards right, an American Dragon DVD set could one day make them a fair bit of money.
