I haven't been following ROH too closely for some time. They seem to have lost the luster they once had. With the WWE now treating indy darlings better than they have ever been, it seems like ROH doesn't provide that "alternative" that people credited it for back in the day. Now the best indy wrestlers are in NXT.
I am looking forward to seeing what ROH does with NJPW when they do those shows together in May. With Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada possibly working matches on North American shores, there is a chance for ROH to really capture something here. More specifically, on the topic of this thread, I remember wanting Matt Hardy to do something similar to this. I'd have brought him into ROH as Matthew Moore Hardy and given him the angle of a guy who thought he was gracing ROH with his Superstar presence. If they wanted another guy they could bring in for this angle, they could try either Matt Morgan (who I believe is retired) or Chris Masters. Kevin Nash as an on-air manager/personal commentator for their matches would be great. |

ROH is turning into the developmental territory for NXT. This amuses the fucking hell out of me.

I have to confess, I watched an couple episodes of ROH about a year ago. It was the episode where the ROH vs S.C.U.M. feud came to a head with the War Games match. I have to say, I didn't hate it. It was the fact that there didn't seem to be much story outside that main event and every match seemed exactly the same that turned me off. I was actually begging for a squash match just to see someone separate themselves from the pack.

Even better: a jacket with "King of Sports Entertainment" on the back.

Reminds me of Steve Williams in ECW. Beat a few midcarders, then jobbed to Raven raise the profile of ECW. Good idea to keep the big names for only a few months. Keeps cost down and prevents long term small fed pushes for those already in the national spotlight.

Pretty sure both Styles and Hero are freelancers.
Is Kevin Steen the top contracted star then? |

I would watch ROH if I could watch ROH. I used to watch it every Monday night on HDNet when it was on. Now its on channels I dont get and its too much trouble to try and stream it.

You can watch it for free online on their website. Sign up for free on their website and you can watch the weekly show. They make it available a day or two after whatever day it airs on tv.

If American wrestling fans aren't watching ROH right now, then a partnership with NJPW won't help them. The only fans that will attract will be the Americans that already what NJPW, and you gotta think if they're watching NJPW they're probably watching ROH already.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not suggesting that having the NJPW stars over will "save" ROH or anything like that. I just think it would be the most interesting it would have been in a long time. There are many nerds who believe that New Japan is the best promotion in the world today and have also lost interest in ROH. If there is a plan to re-focus ROH these shows would at least give them a good opportunity to do that.

That being said, I've always thought that a TNA/ROH crossover would do both promotions good, so what do I know?

1. I didn't call you a nerd. "Hey Fignuts, you're a nerd," is a statement implying you are a nerd.
2. I wasn't using the term with any sort of malice. I am part of that nerdy group -- I just don't want NJPW as much as I'd like. |

What's Davey Richards going to do when TNA releases him? DR has burnt bridges with ROH and WWE.
