I'm wondering if we may see some kind of "Year of the Rise" stable to counteract The Age of the Fall. You know, obviously with a better name, and all that.

Austin Aries and Jimmy Jacobs now want to get at each other's throats. Jay Briscoe now has reason to despite Jacobs, as does Mark Briscoe. There is perfectly logical cause for Aries and The Briscoes to now associate themselves with each other. Who could make up other members of the group? Well, Aries seems to have a bit of a partnership going with Bryan Danielson. It wouldn't be hard to work him in, given that he has had his fair share of problems with The AOTF and that he even has an upcoming match with Black at their VA debut.

Maybe throw in a random ROH student into the group. I'm not sure if any brilliant wrestlers have come from the ROH Wrestling Academy, or anything, but they could do something interesting with it, I'm sure. This ROH student obviously loves ROH enough to train with them, and the AOTF is all about destroying ROH. Austin Aries also apparently works very closely with the students, and it appears they are touching reality-based points with his character (his relationship with Lacey now being acknowledged, for example). A personal student of Aries would make an interesting ally for him. You can have Joey Matthews try and lure this kid away from the anti-AOTF camp, and offer him training of his own, which could spark some Aries vs. Matthews matches, and some Matthews vs. student matches, and even some Matthews' student vs. student matches.

I don't know who to suggest for the group, but I wouldn't make it Pelle Primeau, as he seems closer to Claudio Castagnoli in the storylines now. Bobby Dempsey is also over enough as it is, and Shane Hagadorn should be a part of Sweet N' Sour International. I'd go with Mitch Franklin, because while he has a bland name, and is probably not example a barrel of charisma, I have heard that he is one of the more promising students the ROH Wrestling Academy has had to offer.

I would not mind a "super group" formed to battle The Age of the Fall. I think it would actually be a pretty good storyline, actually.
