Interesting during my show Friday night, the crowd broke out a "This is Wrestling" chant during the AoTF v MCMG match. There was also a flyer saying ROH would come back to Detroit in July on a Saturday night. Since the only time I know of the D getting a Saturday show was last year before WM. So there must be something special planned.
Just checking the results from night 2, and wow sounds like Jimmy takeover night. Strange of how alot of it sounds like Jericho/Christian/Trish. So Aries and Lacey are pulling the same things that Christian and Trish were doing, yet they are supposed to be face? That's the only thing I don't really get.

It's not really like that at all
Aries and Jimmy weren't friends, they had no interaction prior to this. It's a lot more along the lines of Raven/Dreamer/Beulah.Also supposedly Jimmy stabbed Mark Briscoe in the wrist and he's out indefinitely. It's more than likely a cover for an injury he picked up but it's still awful timing after they just got the belts back. Tag title tourney? |

I'm with you that MMM. I can see a tag title tourney starting in VA, winners going on to NYC with Steenerico going over the NRC in the final.
As for this whole Jacobs/Lacey/Aries angle. I would agree that it does have a Raven/Dreamer/Beulah feel to it. I'm actually very excited for this like I said in previous posts, I would like to see a Aries Jacobs blood feud, and it looks like we are on our way down that road. Great stuff. ALSO Generico/Ibushi sounded SICK, can't wait to see it on DVD. |

Yeah, I gave in and bought front row tickets to the next show in Detroit. It seems silly to pay an extra ten bucks a ticket to move up a 2 feet, but hey.
What I'm wondering, is if Jimmy does have an extended feud with Aries, how long until he's in the world title picture. Anyway, as far as Aries being the "face" the problem is, it's hard to be a face against Jacobs. If anything, he'll be a tweener. A lot of wrestling fans won't cheer Jimmy because of the entire "emo" part of his character. Hell, you should of heard the shit he was getting in Detroit when he tagged out after getting skull fucked by Shelley. Jimmy does play the underdog role great though, so chances are, by the end of the feud, he'll have a big following again because people want to see him overcome the odds. |

I'd love to see a ROH World Tag Team Title Tournament. That shit would be pretty fucking cool. Just trying to piece eight teams together in my head:
1. Tyler Black & Joey Matthews (Jimmy Jacobs should be focused on Aries) 2. Davey Richards & Rocky Romero 3. Kevin Steen & El Generico 4. Chris Hero & Eddie Edwards (seems they want to use Edwards more as a heel) 5. Claudio Castagnoli & Pelle Primeau (they seem buddy-buddy) 6. Ruckus & Jigsaw (I don't like leaders being in the tag teams) 7. Joker & Sabian (they would be a fair representation of BLKOUT wouldn't they?) 8. Jay Briscoe and a partner of his choosing (Bryan Danielson?) Something like that could be incredible. Maybe even open the thing up, include 16 tag teams, and bring in a Japanese team or two for an appearance, and have some teams like The Young Bucks or The Heartbreak Express get a chance in ROH. Nick Dinsmore & Rob Conway and Doug Basham & Damaja could put over some guys in some solid performances. I think the team to take this is Kevin Steen & El Generico. |

Whoa, just realized RoH is debuting in VA about a half hour from my hometown. Now I just need to figure out if I can fit this in my schedule.

so how long has AOTF been around what's the whole story behind them? I know little parts but only saw them on undeniable.

It's sort of hard to explain. Essentially, its Tyler Black's and Jimmy Jacob's social movement. You could read the blog on the site if you're real ambitious to try to get their "message." More importantly, it's the evolution of Jimmy Jacobs, who has went from a mini-berserker, to a love struck kid, to an horribly emo kid, to a damn near psycho, to a "revolutionary" society hater of sorts, and apparently now to a psycho/emo/torn revolutionary society hater of sorts. |

When you look at it altogether, Jimmy Jacobs, Tyler Black, Necro Butcher, Joey Mathews, Zach Gowen, and Alison Wonderland ( no more Lacey though
supposedly), do make up a pretty badass stable. It's very Raven's Flock like actually.

Jay should team with GO, and they shall be known as the BRISGOS
Yeah If they're going to open it up the YRR will almost certainly be in. Might finally give a reason to put Incoherence together as well. Also, re AOTF, read this somewhere else and it chimed with me - it's not really Jimmy's movement, it's Tyler's. Jimmy created it, and got it up and running and everything, but he basically did it all for Lacey, at the end of the day. He doesn't really seem to believe it all. Whereas Tyler writes the blogs, etc etc, and has seemingly actually bought into the message for real. So it probably won't be that long before Jimmy is on his own. |

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. |

To even up the odds, Jimmy should bring in one of Lacey's friends to go against her and Aries, and who better than Rain?
