I agree with that. ROH isn't known for handing out title shots, so why would they start now? Plus, it would give the KOW time to build up even more heat as a team.

Also, I can't stand Irish Airborne. I hope they stay away from those belts for a long time to come. They've got a hell of a lot of developing left to do.

If you read the post that Hero made he says that he and Claudio signed an open contract that Aries & Strong sent out through CHIKARA. So I'd say the match is all but set.

That, on top of these already announced:

Danielson vs KENTA
McGuinness vs Marafuji
Homicide/Joe vs Briscoes

Damn, I really need to find a cheap plane to NY for 9/16

That show is hot.

Homicide & Joe vs. Briscoes is gonna be a war.

Wait...remember back in 2004 how Homicide and Ki were responsible for "injuring" the Briscoes, forcing them to take a long sabatical from ROH. Thats what we call continuity.

You know, I was thinking. Corino is buddy buddy with a bunch of Zero One guys, so I'm wondering if ROH will bring in someone to fight Homicide to try to "take him out" for Corino or Cornette (thinking like Joe was brought in to take out Low ki by the Prophecy.)

I'm calling it now, Homicide & Joe will win the Tag Team Championships before 2007.

That'd be good, but I'd rather see Cide go for the World Title, if KENTA doesn't win.

Everybody should check out the new video recap at rohvideos.com It has lots of footage from the UK shows.

Also, I placed my order today for Chi-Town Challenge & Death Before Dishonor IV. I can't wait to see the COD.

Chi-Town Struggle was a solid show live. Granted it was my first live ROH experience, but I liked it a lot.

I really hope that Joe/'Cide don't win the tag titles. Sure, Joe would be a Triple Crown champ and Homicide would get his first ROH gold, but it just doesn't work for me. Let Homicide get a title on his own, a la winning the World Title. As far as Joe goes, I could care less if he had won all of the titles or not. He's done so much for that company as it is.

I got Chi-town Struggle, man the Cabana/Danielson match should get a lot more love. I knew the ending yet I thought Cabana had it at the end with the Colt 45. Also Delirious showed up against Joe, and is really stepping up in 2006.

I love Delrious. He was hilarious at Throwdown.

If you haven't seen it, at one point, he goes to the top, but catches him and is about to throw him off the top.. Delirious holds on, and just says "NO!" Joe tries again.. "NO!" and again.. "NO!" Joe backs away and tells Delirious to get down... "NO!" Joe walks away, then Delirious jumps, and Joe casually walks out of the way.

It was great.

Saw some of the guys at a show last night. Nigel is really beaten up right now, he still has a huge scar on his forehead and he has a hell of a black eye.

Aries wrestled but was moving around extremely gingerly. To be honest IMO he need to take at least 2-3 weeks off.

One of the Briscoes appeared to injure his foot but he carried on ok so I'm not sure how serious it was.

You know, anyone who hasn't needs to check out www.rohvideos.com.

Check out some of the content they have uplodated damnit! Especially the last summary vid with the Danielson/McGuinness highlights.

People are saying Dragon/Nigel is the MOTY, can't wait to see it.

I love the video roster on rohvideos.

I would mark out like a bitch if Jimmy somehow beats Homicide.

Maybe have Corino interfere and the two battle, and when Homicide goes to nail a Lariat on Corino, he smokes Lacey.... Jimmy goes ape shit and destroys everyone around him, including Corino, the ref, Homicide, etc... That would be awesome.

I just wanna see Jimmy huss again, it'll be the markout moment of the year once he ditches Lacey and does the huss again.

I want to see Jimmy huss Lacey.

Boy, that sounds dirty when I read it again.

Hell, I want to huss Lacey.

Or she can huss me...

As long as there is some hussing going on between me and Lacey, I'll be happy.

Don't we all wanna huss Lacey...don't we all...

Speaking of Lacey, Straight Shooting with the Women of Honor is pretty interesting. Allison Danger talks a lot

As long as we're talking about Lacey...

Yeahhhhhhhh

Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew :love:

I just ordered Buffalo Stampede, In Your Face, and Death Before Dishonor IV. Anyone have these dvds or any reviews of them(w/o match results)?

Don't have them. Next order is gonna be In Your Face and DBD IV, maybe I'll hold out until War of the Wire II comes out.

I recommend Chi-town Struggle though.

Throwdown was a pretty hot show too.

Both the world title match, and KENTA Vs Strong are badass.

As far as Jimmy Jacobs goes, he's best as a cocky chicken-shit heel. Just like his IWA-MS title reign.

P.S. The kings of wrestling are taking the tag titles.

You know, I watched that video of him that someone posted on the ROH message board about his reign, and I have to agree. He plays the part really really well...

Although I do love his gimmick right now too, and think he could be a great baby face. If they really do want to do something with him, they could play the Lacey thing out, then have him "come to his senses." and dump her. He gets some women, etc, and slowly starts to transform into a cocky asshole... Later Lacey and him reunite, but now he's no longer obbessive.

THat video was not there when I replied damnit! But yeah, that's the vid I was talking about.

I don't remember the Buffalo Stampede card exactly but it had a couple good matches but with a terrible crowd. I mean really, just bad. Pretty sure they haven't been back to Buffalo since.

[random] What's happening with Low Ki in RoH at the moment?

Low Ki and ROH have supposedly severed ties.

I don't know if an official statement was ever given (rumor has it Low Ki wanted more money, and ROH would have had to give all their big names more money then.)

Storyline wise, he was fired by Cornette because he was the one who accidentally knocked out his tooth in a brawl.

I think Ki didn't want to job to Roderick, and money.

His name is being thrown around a lot now, so who knows.

I was thinking they could bring him back, but my prob is, unless he turns on Homicide, he'd probably take the spotlight off of him, which would suck.

It could work you know. Ki as a heel never really clicked properly, everyone pretty much still cheered for him...I'm willing to bet a large part of that was due to his association with Homicide, as he had the same thing going. Now Homicide is uber-face, Ki turning on him could work.
