Gertie's official ROH Thread

[Gertner]

This is a thread where only the art of WRESTLING will be discussed. No sports entertainment here. A promotion that stresses the spirit of competition, where you can check your personality at the door, because intensity, respect and honor is the name of the game here. Where every match is the MOTY, and where the chairs are fortified for your fat ass needs.

So let's discuss the upcoming television show where WRESTLING truly matters!

Now let's get down to business. Grizzly Redwood vs Pelle Primeau. MOTY without a doubt. Thoughts?

Where WRESTLING matters.

[Innovator]

PERSONALLY I think the Young Bucks vs. a returning Dunn & Marcos would be 5 stars.

[Gertner]

I disagree. Dunn cracks a smile during his matches which shows WAY too much personality. -3 stars

[Nark Order]

Oh. Gertner is throwing a fit again. Nice.

[CSL]

I honestly can't wait for Respect and Honor War of Attrition and Respect VI so I can see Davey Richards kick some guy really hard 6000 times, randomly do lots of moves for no apparent reason other than get to his next lot of random moves, kick out of 6 super head drop bombs before going over with a single dreaded Closed Fist Punch (it's deadly because he screams before he does it) before looking around intensely and then shaking his opponents hand after the hardest most epic match of his life. Before going on to have the same hardest most epic match of his life again the night after against some local skinny guy in a nightclub. Who the fuck needs a bit of psychology, timing and structure when you can just do lots and lots of moves?

[Gertner]

Stop ruining my thread Narc

Does it still count as WORKRATE when you're actually punching, kicking, and concussing each other?

[CSL]

it depends if they managed to get the crowd to chant "AWE-SOME WORK-RATE" during the match. If not then they probably didn't manage to kick each other enough times.

[Gertner]

CSL raises a great point.

[Gertner]

I thought this was a nice gesture by ROH

"Ring of Honor Announces Bring Your Mom to the Mutual Respect Without Honor and Maybe Intensity iPPV"

Ring of Honor will be letting fans bring their moms to the iPPV for free in an attempt to reduce the carbon imprint of mother having to sit in their cars idling for 3 hours while their sons are in the venue. Hopefully this create a bonding experience, as well as give the sons some practice in the realm of social skills as their moms will be the closest thing they've ever had to a date.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

You know, ROH could benefit from running exercise seminars before the shows... You know, teaching basic things like sit ups, push ups (probably girly), jogging, etc. By doing so, they may raise the chances of their fan base dying as older, fat virgins, as opposed to young, obese virgins.

"Grr! im in the IWC, but I like to pretend im not by posting half assed jokes regarding indy promotions the rest of the IWC supports!" People who want to bash ROH are not allowed to be CM Punk fans btw.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Sure they are. That's silly.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

What promotion does CM Punk wrestler for?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wow, horrible preposition use in that last post. I am so sorry.

For what promotion does CM Punk wrestle?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

This is about as funny as AIDS

[#BROKEN Hasney]

So while I chow down on a big old AIDSburger, I give this 7/10

congratulations on making a completely fucking retarded post. By your definition, everybody that posts on the internet has to support who the internet consensus supports. And for the record, CM Punk the WWE version is nothing whatsoever like CM Punk the ROH version, the same way Danielson, Bourne and co aren't the same, they never would have come close to the levels of success they have by maintaining that "style". Get a fucking clue and an opinion of your own, you are talking out of your arse.

[The Jayman]

I want to see awesome displays of artistic combat

[Chavo Classic]

And I thought everyone here hated TNA

[Gertner]

I need to be made Mod of this thread so I can get rid of non-workrate discussion

[Gertner]

This brings me to my next question:

Can you have Honor without Respect? Or do those two generally go hand in hand?

[Volare]

Honor in one self or honor in another.

[Gertner]

And now, my two favourite "comebacks" that ROH fans make when you make fun of them.

1. "Well the WWE is for kids". Lol, it's two men fake fighting. What's so different about it? That ROH does it with respect and honor?

2. "I bet you wouldn't say that to Eddie Edwards face". I've heard this one numerous times and I have yet to figure out how to respond to this, as it never has anything to do with what I said in the first place.

2. You're right, I wouldn't. He's too short for me to say ANYTHING to his face.

[Gertner]

"ROH is full of vanilla midgets"

"Well I bet you wouldn't say that to Rodrick Strong's face"

WTF is that?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I probably wouldn't tell Ezekiel Jackson that his show is lame and for kids to his face either. :o

[Volare]

"ROH is full of vanilla midgets"

"Well I bet you wouldn't say that to Rodrick Strong's face"

WTF is that?

That's when you reply "No I'm saying it to your face." Then you get in his face, and fist pump his face.

[Gertner]

I'll challenge him to a bout of Artistic Combat.

[Shisen Kopf]

Gertner is this thread going to be a super serious thread of great success? BC pro rasslin is the awesome

[MoFo]

Davey Richards has less moves than Cena, no fucking bullshit either.

Boring, shitty promotion that'll hopefully die out soon.

[Juan]

Boring, shitty promotion that'll hopefully die out soon.

See, I get Gertner's beef with ROH, which is mostly with ROH fans, but this statement is ignorant and ridiculous.

[Shisen Kopf]

I like the ROH because it is like the Cosby Sweater of Pro rasslin'.

[Londoner]

Man, this thread is amazing.

truly.

fucking.

AMAZING.



yeah.

[Gertner]

Good to see ROH sprung for a new iPhone to shoot their TV taping last night.

[Shisen Kopf]

It was only a 3GS though. ROH is still super cool though. I like it when they do stuff. Like moves and shit. It's great.

[OldSchoolFan]

And I thought everyone here hated TNA

Everyone Everywhere hates TNA, especially Dixie Carter

[Gertner]

Also, nice to see ROH's main event featuring a tag team no longer with the company but anyways.

Midnight on a Saturday to debut their product? ROH sure knows their audience i'll say that.

[Innovator]

1 am timeslots are where it's at. ECW! ECW!

[Gertner]

lol ECW is the cause of all of this

[FearedSanctity]

But...but they were on 11am, 9pm and 1am here :'(

[Gertner]

11am- ROH fans will be finished eating their mommy made breakfast and cartoons

9pm: because it's a Saturday night, what else are they gonna do

1am because mom and dad have went to bed and therefore they can get away with jerking off all over their Death Before Dishonor DVD while watching ROH on TV

[Seth82]

[Gertner]

Sorry, this thread decided to uphold don't ask don't tell. You're banned from this thread.

[Gertner]

Also, in other news, the Code of Honor is retarded.

[Captain of Fun]

For a guy who doesn't watch indy wrestling, you sure do know a lot about it.

I love me some workrate. Yum!

Ring Of Honor sent out the following today.

For the first time ever, Ring of Honor will be holding a special two-day tryout camp and seminar on Saturday and Sunday, November 12th and 13th at ROH’s headquarters and wrestling academy in suburban Philadelphia. This camp will provide those who attend the rare opportunity to be seen and evaluated by officials and pro wrestlers from Ring of Honor. The seminar will be organized by ROH’s top officials as well as Jim Cornette.

“Our one day seminars that we have held in the past have all been a huge success.” Cornette said. “This time you get twice as much evaluation and personal time with the officials. These camps have been the catalyst for us signing Michael Elgin, Mike Bennett, Tommaso Ciampa and others. We hope to find exceptional talent like those great athletes that would fit the ROH roster. Remember though that this is not just a try-out because everyone will learn something new and we can guarantee that.”

Those attending the two-day seminar will spend all day with Jim Cornette, Match maker/head trainer Delirious, camp administrator Kevin Kelly, ROH World Tag Team Champion Charlie Haas, and others. Attendee’s will receive in-ring instruction from Charlie Haas and Delirious. Both men will be assisted by various ROH wrestlers including Rhett Titus. Interviews and promos will be evaluated by Jim Cornette and Kevin Kelly who will also assist in match critique.

You can expect all areas of wrestling to be covered at the seminar from the in ring technique to the out of the ring attitude. Amongst the items on the curriculum are video taping personal interviews as well as sample promos. Watching each attendee work out in the ring and video taping exhibition matches that will be critiqued in detail. Not only will your work on promos and technique be assessed but conditioning, appearance, mind-set and potential will also be evaluated. We will get a complete look at the talent, and then detail for them either what they’re doing right, or what they need to improve on to make it to Ring of Honor and become an all around better wrestler. Those who impress us will be given an opportunity to take the next step and possibly being booked on live ROH events. Not EVERYONE from the seminar will be booked, but SOME will be, and we promise everyone will get their money’s worth.

The seminar is open to any current pro wrestler with at least one year’s experience. Each attendee is responsible for their own transportation to and from the ROH Academy, and any necessary lodging. The $295 registration fee includes each day’s activities plus lunch, video of the campers’ tryout match, and critique by the ROH staff. Saturday will start at 10am and last until 5pm. Sunday will start at 10am and last until 4pm. Enrollment is limited to 35 applicants, to insure each camper receives individual attention. To enroll, you must complete the application form, and submit it and your registration fee to ROH on or before November 12th, 2011.

Your application form can be emailed to rohhelp@aol.com, faxed to (215) 781-0727, or mailed to Ring of Honor, PO Box 1127, Bristol, PA 19007.

Payments for the seminar can be made by credit card, paypal, check, or money order.

Look at the butthurt workrate nerds

[CSL]

lol it's about time St. Jimmy stopped pretending to be an actual poster

[Shisen Kopf]

I bet alot of these ROH dorks whack off to the workrate!

[St. Jimmy]

Troll thread is troll thread.

[Gertner]

This thread is about honor, respect and the fighting spirit.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Popular thread.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Gertner definitely getting the attention he craves.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I've never watched an episode of an ROH or have a problem with Gertie, I just got very bored.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just realised that I have Death By Dishonor IX downloaded and I wasn't bored enough to watch it instead of doing this thread.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Who really cares though, Spider-Man is the man.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The clue is in the name I guess.

[Gertner]

I've never watched an episode of an ROH or have a problem with Gertie, I just got very bored.

Lol and I have and I get crap

[Shisen Kopf]

ROH=the cure for insomnia. I how after the show ends the rasslers come out and help take the set down.

[Skippord]

lol I like this one

[Gertner]

Less than 12 hours for ROH fans to buy their lube to shove objects up their ass while they watch ROH tonight.

[Gertner]

Wow, saw a couple minutes of ROH. ECW from 1995 looks better visually than this. Horribly bush league and the crowd manages to be even bigger douches than TNA's crowd.

[Gertner]

Caught the last three minutes of ROH. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a person in the front row who weighed less than 300 pounds.

[Gertner]

I may be home to watch a full episode this week. I'm sure the personality will leap through my TV and slap me in the face

[Skippord]

post more spiderman pictures you bunch of cocks

keep coming in here hopeful and then I am crushed

[Gertner]

This thread is for a discussion of workate and the code of honor, not for Tom Foolery

[Skippord]

delightful spiderman pictures with fun captions are not Tom Foolery you son of a bitch

they are the fabric of Americana

[Gertner]

As a Canadian I spit on your Spiderman pictures with fun captions!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

save your tomfoolery for the official chikara thread

[Gertner]

Thank you Surpreme

[Skippord]

also the fabric of Canadiecana

[Gertner]

So I wonder how many dates tonight got canceled because ROH is on tonight hahaha!

How would a basement dweller get a date in the 1st place

Too many Kenta Kobashi matches to discuss on teh internet, no time for silly things like sex

[Gertner]

The date would end when the female had the gall to state that Rodrick Strong has a higher workrate than Davey Richards.

[Shisen Kopf]

All the rasslers in ROH are bringing dishonor to themselves by being in that pile of doggy dump.

[The Show Off]

The date would end when the female had the gall to state that Rodrick Strong has a higher workrate than Davey Richards.

Actually my girlfriend broke up with me when I suggested that very same thing... but why would I want to be with a girl that prefers the kimura, shooting star press and the ankle lock to Srong's strong hold, sick kick and variety of backbreakers.

Besides Roderick Strong's workrate is 15% higher than Davey Richards according to this system of workrate rating a developed the night of my prom when I couldn't find a date.

[Gertner]

This validates everything that I've been saying!

I caught a bit of ROH's cable show while I was sick and though I had some reasonably high hopes I have to admit I came away pretty underwhelmed. What sucks is that a lot of the ideas I myself thought would work years ago have shown to be the ones that don't work at all for me now.

Treating wrestling as a legitimate sport in kayfabe in theory seemed like it would be a good idea, but in practice in comes off as very boring and stale. It zaps what little charisma guys like Shelton Benjamin/Haas did have completely and generally I thought Cornette came off as way too boring. The closest thing that I saw to a colorful character was Truth Martini and I didn't care for him at all.

Also didn't enjoy the matches with two guys no-selling everything. There was a definite lack of story telling in the product and that surprises me with Cornette in charge.

As for Smackdown, I can't get back into it no matter how hard I try. I followed it long enough to think that Mark Henry and Big Show were literally the only guys on the roster that could be champion aside from Orton and that made me really sad.

I think Raw is actually pretty fun whenever I get a chance to watch. It's also got my favorite guys at the moment, CM Punk, Miz and Triple H (in his wrestling non-wrestler role).


Now, onto my questions for Gertner:

Q1: On the subject of Kaval: Do you think he had enough charisma to have been entertaining in the WWE?

Q2: What famous wrestlers from ECW, WCW and the WWE have contributed to what is wrong with indie wrestling today?

Q3: Has your opinion of Daniel Bryan changed at all?

Q4: What wrestler are you currently big on?

Q5: What show is currently the most entertaining?

Q6: Who do you think is going to die next?

Q1. No he did not whatsoever. Solid competitor, but the WWE is a totally different animal. You can't be undersized and not be solid on the mic

Q2: Wow. I I don't blame the wrestlers at all. I blame the fans for being retarded and waaaaaaaaaay to into wrestling and take it too seriously. Wrestling is a job and the wrestlers are there to make money.

Q3: No. He's not over enough to be champ and never will be. His U.S Title reign sucked but his supporters refuse to believe it.

Q4: Sheamus has been my favourite wrestler for a LONG time. He wrestles good matches, in a solid on the mic and is an overall good character. I'm really high on Percy Watson but from watching NXT, the WWE seems to have toned down his charisma which is a shame. Also love Cody Rhodes, CM Punk although I really think he should limit his "shoot promos". Less is more in my opinion. Mark Henry has stepped his game up too.

Q5: Smackdown basically because the majority of characters that I'm digging are on that show.

Q6: Probably Matt Hardy

:D

[Shisen Kopf]

Good thin the ppv wasn't called death before boredom bc everyone would be dead. But on the awesome side ROH signed Nigga macho man!! Gnarly

[Gertner]

lol christ

[Captain of Fun]

No way does Matt Hardy die before Scott Hall.

[Gertner]

Hall might be like Jake the Snake and just defy science.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I wish Macho Man had defied science, but I guess he already did that with his elbow drop.

[Gertner]

Please remember everybody, this is a no nonsense thread. Keep the personality to a minimum.

[Shisen Kopf]

Would you say this thread is serious business?

[Gertner]

THIS THREAD IS WRESTLING!
