I haven't really kept up with RoH in a long time. I heard that Gabe was done as booker and Adam Pearce was booking though. Any major storylines going on, besides the aforementioned Aries/Jacobs/Black storylines?

Going to their first show of the year in a couple weeks (Jan 16th in VA) and was wondering what to expect. I obviously don't mean what to expect in terms of the matches announced but in terms of booking, who's moved up the card/down the card etc. Anything changed or has it continued to slide into mediocrity?

From what I've read, it really seems quite good. Nigel McGuinness is still ROH World Champion, with the idea behind his reign being that he's about to surpass Bryan Danielson's reign in terms of length. Not sure where he was a year ago, but he's a full-blown heel now.

Claudio Castagnoli and Austin Aries are both heels now. Claudio was upset because he kept losing, and he's just snapped and become more serious. Aries' turn is pretty similar, but seems more fuelled by specific motives. It will be interesting to see why he re-alligned himself with Jimmy Jacobs.

Tyler Black has pretty much been a fireball picking up momentum, but it seems Aries, Danielson and Jerry Lynn (now a full-time roster member) are all shooting ahead of him to challenge McGuinness, while Black feuds with his former partner in Jimmy Jacobs.

Basically, I suggest you go read this column. It's probably the best way to get up-to-date with ROH: http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/co...8-Part-One.htm

There is a little scroll menu down the bottom to see his other columns, including parts two, three and four of that one. He's a great wrestling writer, and makes tools like Xero look like complete, well, tools, for calling me out on "four page posts."
