ANX with something to prove, but it's time for Steen!

[St. Jimmy]

KILL STEEN KILL.

[St. Jimmy]

Love this Segment, Corino is selling this for me so well.

[St. Jimmy]

Final Battle is going to be fucking fantastic.

[St. Jimmy]

Love these Roddy Strong segments.

[St. Jimmy]

Young Bucks vs. Future Shock. Sure, this is gonna be a spotfest - but it looks fun.

[St. Jimmy]

The only person in this ring who has yet to prove something to me yet is Adam Cole.

[St. Jimmy]

Slower match from these two teams, but solid so far.

[St. Jimmy]

Good match overall, Steen promo was really the focus of the episode. Alright show, not very special.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

ROH has had some good factions in the past, and some shitty ones -- but it'd be hard to go wrong with Kevin Steen, Jimmy Jacobs & Jay Lethal.

I'm assuming that's what's going to happen. Evil Jimmy Jacobs is the goods. That, or they'll have Corino ultimately turn on Jacobs, and play Jacobs as the huge underdog to get the crowd behind him.

Still, I say turn him evil-ish. He's at his best when he's in that bizarre and sadistic gray area between face and heel (his feud with Whitmer/Colt where he was psychotic and crazy, but was really just a love crazed kid essentially getting picked on by bigger people, or the entire AotF thing, where he was a crazy cult leader, but actually trying to make valid points about society.)

Kenny King should just snap and become a loner submission machine

Davey Richards should just snap and become a loner submission machine

Rodrick Strong should just snap and become a loner submission machine!

Grizzly Redwood should just snap and become a loner submission machine

Pelle Primeau should just snap and become a loner submission machine, but this time with respect, but not honor.

Kevin Kelly should just snap and become a loner submission machine, but this time with dishonor, but with mutual respect.

Honor Respect should become a loner submission machine, but with dishonor and no respect, which would contradict his own name!

Read the results for Final Battle, really wanna see Steen-Corino. Looking forward to most of the show really. Also pretty interested in seeing that 80 minute 8 man tag match they had in November.

[St. Jimmy]

Amazing PPV. Steen and Corino killed each other, Strong vs. (Mystery Opponent) was fucking gold and the Main Event was epic. Best PPV of the year hands down. So looking forward to where they're going in 2012.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

So I guess this means (Mystery Opponent) isn't going to the WWE.

[Juan]

He failed some sort of drug test but from what I read, WWE is still interested and he's gonna take the tests again

I literally spilled my bucket of lard while watching this in my mom's basement on a Saturday night. Better than prom date with my sister. It was that good.

[Swiss Ultimate]

You're free now.

[Swiss Ultimate]

This is your chance to shine. Don't waste it.

[Indifferent Clox]

I feel so free. So at peace.

Things Roh has that wwe is seriously lacking:
Chain wrestling
30 minute + matches
matches that dont end with just a finisher
storylines that don't make the viewer feel stupid
Jim cornette

[Indifferent Clox]

I think this should.be the dgusa/Roh/chikara/evolve/ mxpw/ japw/ purereso thread.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I still think the no-selling and multi-finisher matches are kind of silly.

[Indifferent Clox]

Then dont watch Japanese wrestling. You'll think its ridiculous.

The whole Point is these guys may not look like Superman. But they can take moves and comeback. The style is much more difficult.

Its not a style for marks. Its a style for people with a little bit of knowledge, who realize, not every headbump is gonna la break yr neck. And if yr smart you tuck.

This has kinda turned me off of ROH. What is the point of a 45 minute match where Davey and Eddie kick each other in the head 500 times without selling the effects? According to that match, Eddie Edward should be a UFC Champion.

that's the 2nd time I've seen you use the word "mark" in 2 different threads. You are a bigger "mark" than just about everybody here, in fact fucking everybody here given the fact you talk this bollocks so often so you really shouldn't be one to try and use it in some derogatory form.

Originally Posted by Indifferent Clox The style is much more difficult.

you are talking complete and utter shite

[Indifferent Clox]

Dude, how many southern style wrestlers are there? Showman if you will? Not saying any wrestling is easy. But its much easier to wrestle like cena/ Hogan/ the rock than it is to wrestle the style of say kobashi/ misawa/ Kawada.

[Xero]

But CSL, Clox is in the business. He took an arm drag from Ricky Morton. He knows better than most veterans.

[Indifferent Clox]

Ask anyone in the business strong style is a much more difficult style to work.

I'd say its like this in terms of difficulty. Of course there are exceptions
garbage (exception Sabine/ rvd / Terry funk/ hayabusa)
showman (exception Shawn Michael's / Kurt)
lucha
Strong style
Junior style

once again, complete and utter bollocks. It hurts more to use the style of a Misawa or Kobashi but guess what? It's a fucking work. And it absolutely is not "more difficult". It's ridiculous how predictable and locked into that same fucknut indy/puro mindset that so many skinny fuckers in kickpads are today.

[Indifferent Clox]

Yeah it hurts more/ easier to botch and kill someone/ more cardio needed. Dunno how that doesn't equalmore difficult but whatever

fuck off fuck off fuck off.

Those are the only guys "in the business" that will tell you that.

you wouldn't, because you haven't got a clue, that's the entire fucking problem with you and your likeness

[Innovator]

I feel like "strong style" is the new flippy mcflipperson style. Instead of guys wanting to be HBK and only doing the moves without everything else, they all want to be Low Ki or Davey Richards.

[CSL]

local fed that's really starting to get over on that "scene" uses "British strong style" as a tagline, absolute cunts that are run by and use quite a few guys with that Clox mentality. And these are the ones that have the gall to call anybody else "marks".

[Swiss Ultimate]

I care more about story-telling than a bunch of guys risking life and limb and going down their move-set.

Rock kicking out of a stunner means a lot more and is more effective than Shoshimi Ayudi kicking out of his 7th top-rope piledriver from Ken Katuri Sayuni.
