Coming from the bitch who's trying to come up with conspiracy theories?

Yeah, pardon me if I don't exactly take you seriously.

Yeah bro, conspiricy theories. I'm all about that.

:lol: Drama Queen. No wonder so many wrestlers wear mascara.

Good effort, but you fail again.

I'd say try harder, but I dont think you can.

Keep telling yourself that.

Oh yeah, dont worry. Now go throw your insdults about me in 12 other threads big man.

Yeah, I've been saying for a while now that a Mick Foley versus Rob Van Dam match would be a hardcore dream match. Fucking hands down it would be pretty close to a 5 star match.

actually i didn't, i was just saying, but thats ok

If ROH keeps selling out the Grand Ballroom, I wonder how long until they try to run the Hammerstein, something to think about.

Also in the interview with Gabe, he said that they've been working on this since early fall...I just can't believe this didn't get leaked until they announced it.

Official Statement


Ladies and Gentlemen this is an official statement issued by one Castagnoli Claudio.


There have been rumors about my status as a US resident, my visa, work visa and so forth.


Those rumors are FALSE.


These rumors hurt me, my integrity and my status in this country and business.


I'm a man of honor, pride and integrity.


I do have a green card or permanent resident card if you will and also do have a social security number. In case you don't know, you need both of these in order to be and work in this country legally.


So before so called "News Sites" and "Newsletters" release heavy statements or rumors like that, they should really do their job. It's called research.


Let me close by saying there was and is nothing wrong with my visa or residential status.


Sincerely,

Castagnoli, Claudio

Meltzer does it for his living and has been doing so for 20 years or so. If he consistently gets it wrong, he loses subscribers, loses money, and eventually goes out of business. Rob is a hobbyist, at best, and none of that applies to him.

And besides which I can't IM Meltzer to call him names when I want to.

Still waiting, Harvey :p

That should tell you something about how entertaining you are. I can't even be fucked to read your big writing all the way.

And I was bringing up your inability to click a button, not be bothered reading what I have written. My God, I don't read all the bullshit you write (you might not like to admit it, but there is more bullshit in a single sentence of your's than in eighteen paragraphs of me making Funaki a World Champion), so me calling you out on not reading what I wrote would be hypocritical.

No, my friend, I am merely pointing out your inability to hit a button correctly. Everyone makes mistakes, but I would not be doing that and going around calling people "'tard".

"Because you're fucking stupid. And that's not about entertainment. That's about you making stupid argument." - Stereotypical Asian guy from King of the Hill. At least, I think that was the impression I think you were trying.

Dude, I'm not fucking stupid. I don't want to gloat, but I know how smart I am, and I may not show it in the little wrestling posts I make for fun, but I'm betting that you're underestimating my intelligence, and everyone here has been overestimating your's.

Get out of the shadows, stop spinning things; making elusive arguments veiled behind cliches and ideas taken from other, smarter, more entertaining human beings. They could pull them off because they were respectable; likeable, human beings.

What? Keep telling himself that you failed again (because you did), or that you couldn't try harder (because you can't)?

It's one of those matches were the dynamics of the personalities just work, too. Rob Van Dam has the fitness, martial arts, weight-lifting, etc. Mick Foley...well, doesn't. It'd just work as a clash, in my opinion, on so many different levels.

Foley can't work anymore. Van Dam...well let's just say I question his motivation to ever pull out all the stops again. It'd be a clusterfuck, IMO, and would not go down well at all.

Foley's pretty much had his time in ROH with the stuff he did with Joe and Punk, they don't really need him to go back and do something with Van Dam, who would already be over (or not, in all likelihood)

This thread makes me laugh now. Like I said, we'll see if I'm wrong in 6 months. Looks like they are gonna charge about $10 a show so that's a decent start in not over committing.

As for the DVD sales, Gabe said it himself on Meltzer's show. The archives are all over the net but for those who can't be fucked to research it, I'll find it in the next few days and post the sound byte. Gabe has also made comments elsewhere about making more DVDs to make up for lack of sales (again, not a bad idea either).

As for what KK said about me, I appreciate it dude. Nice to see someone has a little faith and a decent memory.

Why don't you understand that you're saying that seeing RoH is a bad thing?

...Does this crown make me look like too much of a drama queen?

No need, I can find WOLs pretty easily. I just wanted to know you weren't saying something you couldn't back up (like you do half the time in the football thread :p )

PPVs are only going to be $10-$15, which is a great price for Ring of Honor. They're also going to get a little creative with their shows, and tape full three hour (approximately) events, but only use some of it. The rest will be exclusively released on the DVD.

That's smart by ROH. It gives people a reason to buy the DVD after they have ordered the event. They're also considering not just using one show as the selection from which the PPV is constructed. There have been ideas for PPVs showcasing a particular wrestler. It sounds a little iffy, but look at it this way:

Independent wrestling is like independent filmmaking. You get some crazy ideas in the indies, and sometimes they might not be conventional, may seem bad, and might tug at your expectations a bit, but if the art is good, a grander vision can be realised.

Apparently iNdemand hasn't put any pressure on ROH for any minimum amount of buys, either. Sure, they want this to do well, of course, but I think both parties understand what is going on here, that ROH is a smaller company looking to expand, etc.

I wasn't £50 lighter last season :)

Gabe is on WOL tonight so I'd be shocked if all this talk isn't brought up.
