Having never seen an ROH show in my life, I decided to check out this 30% off deal. I just ordered Round Robin Challenge III, Second Anniversary Show, and The Last Stand on VHS for $13.25, shipping included. I figure, get the stuff that's on sale, that way if I don't like it, I'm not out much. But three shows for less than the price of one WWE DVD is awesome.

1) What are your feelings going into your final ROH weekend?
Colt Cabana: I've got all kinds of crazy feelings and emotions. I know I'm very excited. I'm excited to wrestle in front of the best and most appreciate wrestling crowd for one last time. I'm also a combination of nervous, scared, happy, constipated and sweaty all in that order. I'm really not sure if I'm looking forward or dreading this upcoming ROH Midwest weekend. I guess I'll just have to take it all in when we get there. 2) Lets look back at your career in ROH, what are some of your favorite matches that you've been involved in? Cabana: I've had so many great and fond ROH memories. I'll be happy to list off some personal fave's. Maybe these are some of yours too. Of course, my first matches with CM Punk at the Murphy Rec Center and then top that off with when Punk and I became Tag Team Champions in front of our hometown against the Briscoe Brothers. I also have a soft spot in my heart for the time when Bobby Heenan managed me against Jim Cornette for everyone's first time. Wrestling Austin Aries in a cage, my catch-wrestling series with Nigel McGuiness, and standing victorious over Homicide after a brutal fight without honor. Other personal favorites include wrestling the greatest wrestler of our generation, Bryan Danielson, and having fun with my wrestling in singles matches with guys like Kikutaro, Spanky and Jack Evans. 3) What are some of your favorite moments that you were involved with in ROH? Cabana: I know I wasn't involved in it, but I was in a way. That was being able to watch Samoa Joe wrestle Kenta Kobashi live from the top of the New Yorker. I don't think I'll ever forget watching that match sitting next to James Gibson and being so emotionally invested in it. Having fun with my talk show, "Good Times, Great Memories" was also just a pure blast. When Dusty Rhodes came on "my show", it was pretty surreal to sit there and have Ace goof on Dusty only for him to walk in and cut a promo on my hairline. 4) What do you want your legacy to be in ROH? Cabana: I just want everyone to remember me as the meanest, toughest, hard-hittingest, stiffest prick in the business. People will tell their kids that they once ran into Colt Cabana at a bar and he beat up their son. "Colt once bent a keg in half", they'll say to their friends. That's how I'd like my legacy to be in ROH....PLEEEEEEASE. 5) What would you like to say to the fans that have watched you in ROH since 2002? Thanks. Thanks for supporting me. Thanks for supporting ROH. Continue to support me. Continue to support ROH. Have fun enjoying pro wrestling and please don't take what you have in a company like this for granted because just imagine what you'd do if ROH wasn't around...think about it. How much would that suck? |

I'm actually hoping they give Takeshi Morishima quite a long run with the ROH World Title. The guy seems like a pretty credible Champion, if you ask me.
His next scheduled title defense is against Austin Aries. Morishima should go over there, and following that could be a rematch with Homicide. Doug Williams defeated Morishima in a tag team match recently, so they could give him a title shot based on that. Just keep Morishima rolling. |

Shingo is up next after Aries. I know a lot of people don't like him but for me Shingo has been great the last 2 months.
The intial list of NOAH names for the first show in Japan has been released - Morishima, KENTA, Marafuji, Shiosaki and RICKY MARVIN will all be there. Which is awesome. |

I'd love to see The Briscoe Brothers defend the ROH World Tag Team Championship against KENTA and Naomichi Marufuji. That would be a sweet ass tag team match. For some reason, I also get excited at the prospect of a Ricky Marvin vs. Matt Sydal match. Anyway, here are my predictions for what is confirmed for ROH this Friday in St. Paul: The Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew will take on the team of The Dangerous Angels. The Wrecking Crew (Rain & Lacey) are the hometown girls, and SHIMMER and ROH appear to be increasing their association with SHIMMER. What better way to solidify that relationship than to have Allison Danger and Sara Del Ray lose their first match as a tag team in ROH? I think Rain & Lacey should get the win here. BJ Whitmer will face Shingo in a "Special Challenge" on Friday. As he is heading into a ROH World Title match the next night, I think Shingo should get a little bit of momentum. This will be a hard-hitting affair, but Shingo should ultimately go over. Colt Cabana will team with Homicide to take on Brent Albright and Adam Pearce. I love Albright, but I just don't see his team taking it. Cabana has lost every match on his farewell tour, he should get at least one win. Pearce will get to go over Cabana the next night in Chicago. I expect to see Homicide get the pin on Adam Pearce. In the Four Corner Survival, Rocky Romero and Erick Stevens should cancel each other out. That leaves either Jack Evans or Delirious for the win. Evans seems to be picking up lots of little victories here and there, but I think Delirious will take it. Evans already has the push to create his own faction to war with the No Remorse Corps and The Resilience. Let's get Delirious in there. You also can't go wrong with putting your Survival Of The Fittest Tournament Winner over. The Ultimate Endurance Match will be a proving ground for all the challengers. The Briscoes retain, but hopefully it won't be the end of Mike Quackenbush and Jigsaw. Roderick Strong will hopefully retain the FIP World Heavyweight Championship against Christopher Daniels. They've only ever had Homicide and Bryan Danielson as former Champs, I don't see why FIP would want to pollute that by adding a TNA guy to the list. Hopefully Strong defends the belt on the Japan tour, and gets it a little more notoriety. I want to see Erick Stevens bring in the FIP Florida Heritage Championship, as well. At least momentarily. The Briscoe Brothers could also at least wear their FIP Tag Team Championships. With some defences of the FIP Tag Titles in Japan, they could become seen as belts worth holding. There is a little part of me that would mark out for sticking it to the man, and putting Austin Aries over Takeshi Morishima, showing Aries where his home is. The SuperStarr has always been better in ROH than in TNA, in my opinion. Putting the ROH World Title on the leader of The Resilience will also make them credible. Then they just bring in the FIP Florita Heritage Championship for some defences, and The Resilience is actually looking pretty good. Not bad for a stable lacking credibility. There is a lot of attention in Japan because of Morishima's possession of the belt, so that is probably a good thing for ROH. Morishima will in all likelihood retain here, and that's the way it should be. Now for my Chicago thoughts: Man, The Resilience have been taking a fucking beating. Austin Aries should beat Rocky Romero, as he is the leader of the group. Plus he will need to save face after losing to Morshima the night before. It's kind of cool that Christopher Daniels is facing the FIP World Heavyweight Champion one night, and then the FIP Florida Heritage Champion the next. They should have Stevens put his belt on the line here, and successfully defend it. Roderick Strong doesn't seem to be defending his FIP World Heavyweight Title against Jack Evans. Boo! Make the match for the Title, and have Davey Richards and Rocky Romero help Strong retain, which is eventually what pushes Evans over the edge into creating his own faction to battle in this developing war. Mike Quackenbush, Gran Akuma, Jigsaw and Hallowicked will get another chance to prove themselves in a Six Man Mayhem Match. I doubt either will get the win, nor do I think Pelle Primeau will get it, so that leaves Delirious. Once again, you can't go wrong with putting over your Survival Of The Fittest Tournament Winner. Mike Quackenbush winning to establish notice isn't beyond the realm of possibility, though. Homicide, BJ Whitmer and Brent Albright will clash in a three-way match. I'm going to rule out Homicide as a winner, as he goes over the previous night. It's either going to be Whitmer or Albright, methinks. Seeing as Whitmer loses more often than Albright, and because Albright only loses in a tag team match the previous night, Whitmer should take it here. The Briscoe Brothers vs. The Motor City Machine Guns will be awesome. Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley won't likely win the belts, but they apparently work splendidly as a team. After this defence, and Ultimate Endurance, I honestly believe that The Briscoes will have qualified for a successful World Tag Title reign. I think they could lose the Championship the next night, and it wouldn't be a big issue. It's good to see ROH giving the tag team division some love. Adam Pearce is getting quite the rub going over Colt Cabana. Good on him. ![]() Shingo will make a fun challenger to Takeshi Morishima. I don't think Shingo is yet established to take the ROH World Championship. This will be a good showcase for him, though. |

As much as I hate bumping old threads, I didn't really want to create a new thread for the couple of things I had on my mind.
1) Looking at the ROH website, I noticed that the ROH Wrestling School is back in action. What shocked me is the new head trainer - Delirious. Now, if you don't know already, I LOVE the lizard-man, but considering the roster has Danielson, McGuinness and Aries, is he really the best choice for a head trainer? 2) I didn't see a thread on it, so I was just wondering what people's thoughts were on Rave's departure from ROH. |

Rave leaving came as a surprise, but I can't say I'm REALLY upset. THere are people I like far more on the roster ( Jimmy jacobs for one) who have better characters and come across better.
I just wonder if he got pissed with his injuries. Say what you will, but when you get your jaw broken by a lariet, and the other guy gets pushed to the moon while you sit out injured, it could cause some sore feelings. Your opponent IS suppose to protect you, not hit you so hard he breaks your jaw. |

I think he ruptured his eardrum very recently also. Just not been having a good time of it.
Shame, really. When he and Shelley were together in the Embassy I really, really feel they should've won the tag titles from Aries & Strong. They could've been monstrously over as heel champs for a LONG time. They did kinda try to reboot him slightly after the split what with feuding with Nigel but honestly I don't think there's very much left for him to do. I guess they could've tried a face turn but there's a high chance it could've bombed. BTW Murder City Machine Guns vs Briscoes at Good Times Great Memories is fucking fantastic, |

I was reading about that earlier (I've been a bit out of the loop lately). It's a pretty crazy angle that I hope has an amazing outcome. There seemes to be quite a bit of hype surrounding it, so there's a buzz to live up to.

Any angle that can make smark fans question its legitimacy is a damn good angle.

So the other night Jimmy Jacobs made his return and BJ Whitmer turned heel and did an angle where he stapled Delirious's mask to his head.

I was at the NYC show last night and it was ridiculously good. I was glad to finally see Quack live. Jigsaw has also improved so much this year. Pelle took the most brutal beating I've seen in a long time. Pac disappointed me but I think it was because him and Davey Richards didn't go well together. People went nuts when Ruckus came out apart of Jack Evans crew and pulled out some crazy shit. Hero vs Claudio was all kinds of awesomeness. Then of course the 2 title matches stole the show. I'll probably have a much more detailed review up later. Oh, and Ruckus asked to use my lighter. That made me mark out.
