i hope he is used better there

jay lethal just 'snapped' and turned heel

[Triple A]

I just put the PPV on... Mercedes Martinez vs somebody... crowd seems dead

[Triple A]

1 hour pre-show on ROH YouTube that started at 7 PM only has like 5,000 views... seems like not a good sign...

[xrodmuc316]

Are we supposed to care about ROH now that Tony bought it?

Briscoes shoulda made a cameo on Breaking Bad as cooks

[rez]

Tony probably dumb enough to keep em in RoH and cost it a TV slot on TruTV.

[slik]

should be a good tag match

[Triple A]

Briscoe guy seems likes his breath would be "nasty"

[Triple A]

Briscoes have a great look... look "legit" insane and like they would kill you

Mark Briscoe looks like this dude I knew in high school that got dared to call a bomb threat in from a payphone for a hit of acid. A payphone that faced a business' security cam. womp womp womp.

GODDAMN JEZEBELS

give brandon cutler the roh world title plz

[erickman]

peacock says 10 est

damn that will be the pre show so it starts later then that.

[Jordan]

This has been a really good PPV so far. The FTR/Briscoes match and subsequent angle were fantastc.

[Jordan]

Hoping for some kind of announcement at the end of the PPV regarding the next step for ROH. My order of preference...

1. Cody is the "GM" or whatever and is going to run ROH.

2. A TV deal.

3. Regal is "in charge"

4. Another PPV

[Triple A]

Why is this Wheeler Yuta match coming on later than the FTR/Briscoes match... crowd absolutely dead

Should have just had the tag match be second to last

[Jordan]

They way they treat the Pure division is pretty cool, very serious. Commentary has been excellent through the night. Ian Riccaboni reminds me of a young Tony Schiavonie, he's able to spin things in a kayfabe way that keeps it fun for the viewer. Caprice bring a ton of energy but not in that annoying WWE or Impact way that you get from Graves or someone like The Pope. Promising stuff for ROH right now IMO.

[Triple A]

Commentary is putting me to sleep in this match... Riccaboni talking in a really quiet whispering low energy voice... killing me

[slik]

how would you all feel if Excalibur staged an INVASION and attacked Caprice Coleman on commentary with a vicious chair shot

[Jordan]

They did go into ESPN mode for this one.

[rez]

Slik check yo rep

[Jordan]

I would be disturbed. I saw a video of a real life unsuspecting chair shot recently and it was really bad. I kinda wish they'd stop using chairs altogether and get more creative with hand to hand combat!

And I don't want Excalibur in ROH!

[rez]

They did go into ESPN mode for this one.

tennis or golf mode

[Jordan]

Wheeler did it! Amazing, the boy hood dream has come ... true!

Khan is RUTHLESS

Holy shit. that's a badass mask

Can't believe that Tony called Chavo back and then got him to work in ROH!

[Triple A]

excited to watch Bandido... everything I've seen from him has been sick

[rez]

If Jonathan Gresham doesn't make the cut he can always become the mascot for NHL's Seattle Kraken

ok..i'm done joking about peep's livelihoods. I've been entertained. Thank you, RoH cast

Hopeful that ROH gets a deal on Tru TV. I'd like weekly 1 hour episodes plus quarterly two hour super shows in addition to their PPV's and try to retake the touring territories that ROH once had a hold in.

[Triple A]

Rampage seems like it was actually a pretty good card "for once" tonight... gonna watch it

I only saw the main event but it ruled. Keith Lee and Powerhouse Hobbs yeeting each other all over the ring. It was great and I want to see more.

Jamie Hayter vs. Skye Blue also... @BigVito22

[Fignuts]

What a great night of wrestling

This was like the most entertaining AEW women's match in months. Not amazing but solid and the crowd was into it... Jamie Hayter is s0 good and Skye Blue plays the underdog role really well... also both hot

[Triple A]

Best Rampage in months... 4 solid and fun matches. Unfortunate that it was on tonight with like 932578 other things on!

So weird.... not the first time they have done this either.... had a guy featured on their show for months and then months later announce that he has signed and it is like "huh? But he was already there?"

[xrodmuc316]

https://i.imgflip.com/6b56op.jpg

[Jordan]

Oh God, he went on stage? I didn't see that on the show or looked away ... wtf... get a grip.

[Fignuts]

He definitely wasnt there when joe came out. Those must have been taken after the show went off air.

[Lock Jaw]

Or photoshopped

[Evil Vito]

I too am angry that a professional wrestling promoter dares to be excited and enthusiastic about professional wrestling.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, what a fucking mark. Didn’t end up watching this. Don’t care about any TK promotion. Was FTR vs. The Briscoes good?

[#1-norm-fan]

I too don’t care but would also like to know how the matches were.

2. A TV deal.

Since my name is on the line, I am kind of curious about 2 and 4. I am still on the boat that this is the last ROH show, unless it becomes "ROH: One Night Stand." (which doesn't count). ROH TV Title will likely never be seen again. The other ROH Belts are held by an AEW talent, except the top title, and I'm sure they'll find a way to hot shot it back onto Lethal on Dark.

You might end up being right. ROH didn’t have enough fans to prop it up, and I’m not sure the people sticking around want more AEW.

[erickman]

yeah if tony was going to talk more tv it would have been last night.

[asphyXy]

Wrestling is good again. Fuck.

[Fignuts]

Lol, what a fucking mark. Didn’t end up watching this. Don’t care about any TK promotion. Was FTR vs. The Briscoes good?

God damn excellent.

Ill say one thing though. If ROH is going to be a bigger deal under Khan and get a tv deal, they need to get that belt off Gresham. I love seeing the dude work, but dude is 5' 4". Just, no. He was in an interveiw and Rhett Titus and Josh Woods fucking towered over him. Even the female interveiwer was taller ffs. If that wasnt bad enough, he flubbed his line.

Great technician and hed be useful in the midcard, but he cannot be the face of this if roh is moving up to bigger things.

I might seek that out then. :y:

Hmm, all your points about Gresham make sense. If they want this thing to matter and make sense, I would run with Danielson for a while. Or Claudio if you can get him. Maybe Joe. But I don’t know how likely TV is outside that syndication spot. I don’t know if WarnerMedia would be “cool” with TK generating his own competition for them.

I think it’s likely that it will, at its best, end up like the NXT to AEW’s WWE. I don’t think he’ll actually be able to shine it up enough to have it stand as a viable entity on its own.

[#1-norm-fan]

I too might seek out some of this show.

Totally don’t care though.

[Jordan]

The best thing about Dalton Castle was when I heard of him the first time because he became ROH Champion. I then eventually saw him and was very whelmed.

[#1-norm-fan]

Great gimmick and great performer but I haven’t really heard anything about him in years.

[Lock Jaw]

Heard he was champ in some other thread and was just like "lol".... not a gimmick to be a world champ....

[#1-norm-fan]

No. Especially in a “work rate” company. Still love the guy though.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

He’s entertaining, has a fun gimmick, decent enough in the ring. I like him more than Gresham. He’d be a good mid card act for them on the main TV roster.

Gresham I can’t get into. Didn’t care much for their match either.

Embarrassing.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I tried to be optimistic about the idea of ROH, but it was pretty silly. Tony Khan thinks he does a good job with AEW. What kind of content do you think he is going to generate for ROH? Probably nothing because no one will pick it up.

Doesn’t really make sense for a guy to own two wrestling leagues either. Why not just amalgamate them? But you try to look past that if one’s really good and caters to your tastes.
