Just to elborate, I was never saying that I think RoH is destined for sucess, it's just seems insane to think that they are doomed.

Rob's right so often that it seems worth trusting him, and assuming that he does know, instead of pulling that "playground shit."

Seriously, he is the ONE guy on here with a near immaculate track record. While he's not right 100% of the time, it'spretty clear he knows his shit.

Fair enough. I said I agree with him and I damn sure respect him. But he's insisting that he's right until proven wrong and that he knows for certain what will happen. BTY can fight his own battles but it struck me as silly to play the "how do you know I don't know ___" card. Either tell us you know or stop the kindergaten mindfuck charade is all.
If he does, I'd be interested to know his knowledge and enlightenment of the inside of the PPV business, as well as how he knows other than citing Wikipedia.

Dave Meltzer tries that same shit.

Trust his gut and then acts like he has inside knowledge. It's lame. If you can prove RoH isn't making money at the gate, if you can prove that their DVD sales are dropping, then get on that.

What is there to hide?

I think the majority of people here are ready to believe the truth, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone dumb enough to play along just "because Rob said it."

Especialy when you consider this guy has almost moved on from wrestling and is focusing the majority of his energy into MMA (something he somehow always knows the inner workings about [makes you wonder there too.])

Sounds like Meltzer: says his speculation as fact and then waits for it to come true.

And if it doesn't then enter the bullshit excuses.*

Is asking for facts and/or evidence too much? How about a sorce?





















The last part only applies to Dave Meltzer.

With a batting average like his, it's hard to say he's going by his gut. Especially when, as you say, he's all but removed himself from wrestling.

Actually you know what I think this a good idea. Right now I can tell you I am going to order this PPV. I'm the defination of a casual ROH fan.

Ordering a PPV to is mch less of hassle then buying a DVD off their website to. Again I don't think this is a bad move.

I've never bought an ROH dvd or ticket, and I'll be ordering at least their first ppv. There's a lot more hardcore wrestling fans with a casual approach to something like ROH. The ROH marks will buy the dvds and see the PPV, save some of the cheapskates I suppose. Going taped, dumb, but who knows how set in stone that is or if it will keep up.

But I'd be willing to be there's plenty of wrestling fans like me and Legend who'd love to order the PPV in the comfort of their home, but can't be damned to order a dvd online or go track one down at stores, if they even are sold there which I don't think they are. It's all about access. If your product is accessible to more people, it will reach a wider audience, and the chances are the fans willing to go to the lengths they do to follow ROH will still be there.

Of course, it's not gonna garner a huge audience or boom, but it certainly will reach more eyes, and I'm not sure what the cost/profit situation with the PPV will be. Like Rob said, it may backfire but what the hell, they can make their own bed. I'll buy, but I agree it's a risk to push like ECW did.

In an interview yesterday, Gabe said this is nowhere near the level of Barely Legal, mainly because the PPV market has changed so much. Back then it was unheard of to get on PPV if you were a wrestling company, it's a lot easier now.

The DVDs weren't available in stores mainly because of the TNA contracts, saying that their performers could appear for ROH as long as they weren't on PPV or had nationally distributed DVDs. As long as ROH sold the DVDs from their own website, they were ok. Now with TNA pulling Aries and Homicide, there are no more TNA guys on the ROH roster. National distribution is in sight now and is in the works.

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, here. The IWC takes news articles on faith when they're from Meltzer, etc., and even Meltzer doesn't really have as solid a track record. In fact, if Rob cited DM on his "facts," it'd probably be accepted, though he doesn't cite his sources.

Meltzer does it for his living and has been doing so for 20 years or so. If he consistently gets it wrong, he loses subscribers, loses money, and eventually goes out of business. Rob is a hobbyist, at best, and none of that applies to him.

And besides which I can't IM Meltzer to call him names when I want to.

Still waiting, Harvey

Read my user title, and you know which side of the fence I am on. It's OK think you know the facts, and think ROH is certainly doomed because they are doing something, but why the fuck can't people just enjoy the ride?

Does ROH put out a great product? Then why the fuck are people complaining that they get to see it? Order the shows, get some good wrestling into your diet, send Vince and Vince your own personal "fuck you," message (as small as it may be), and just see where it goes.

Who knows where ROH is getting money from? It's a point I brought up that has been completely overlooked because I suggested a crazy way ROH could get mainstream attention, because they're just an "indy fed", and we all know guys can't get over doing what they do for a living well, these days. ROH has got great relationships with Pro Wrestling NOAH and Dragon Gate, both companies from a climate rich of professional wrestling. I'm not sure how much money Dragon Gate has to spare, as it is much smaller, but Mitsuharu Misawa's company could have a bit of cash lying around.

Why would Pro Wrestling NOAH go out of its way to help ROH? Because they've been their American exposure for quite a long time. People seem to be in agreement that Takeshi Morishima was given the ROH World Championship, at least in part, as a friendly move to Pro Wrestling NOAH, who want to move Morishima up to the GHC Heavyweight Championship division, but aren't sure if he is ready.

As Mr. Monday Night suggested, it is unlikely the WWE would have been oblivious to ROH's ventures. I think that is probably correct, even if most mainstream entities want nothing to do with them. So perhaps they are throwing some cash their way? I'm not sure of the reliability of those WWE funding ECW offerings, but the same thing could be happening again.

If the WWE knew about ROH growing, why didn't they stop them? And don't use the "they don't care about ROH," excuse. I find it hard to believe. If you don't want someone around, you take care of them while you can. You don't wait until it is noticeable, and you don't pop the bullet into their skulls in daylight.

It's just an idea I'm throwing out there.

And Innovator's point is very relevant. ROH DVD sales are hard to gage by, because ROH doesn't have a conventional distribution deal. With ROH now being an entity seperate from TNA, they can now put their shows on DVD. Sure, anyone can order an ROH DVD over the internet, but a lot of people still don't trust internet shopping (I know I don't), and some geeks might be afraid to actually have a wrestling DVD delivered to their house.

If Ring of Honor doesn't get greedy, they could actually do quite well in the DVD market. Perhaps it's because I'm not too strung out on money, but when I saw ECW DVDs being sold for $8 at a local store, I snatched up about six of them. $8 x 6 = $48, for those not keeping track. I spent around $50 on ECW that day. If ROH keeps the prices of its DVDs down, when they appear in stores, they could make some nice sales.

And let's assume this does fail. Let's assume the PPV thing falls on its face, and they do need to break it off. It seems like the deal has only been arranged for 6 shows because it is what both sides of the fence are comfortable with. I doubt either has put themselves in a position where they will be ruined. ROH goes back to running smaller shows, less frequently. They will not lose their audience. If anything, it will grow. People might wait slightly longer between shows, hence excitement grows, and ROH will at least earn a few fans via their PPV experience.

Plus they managed to get rid of TNA, which I think ROH secretly wanted, anyway. Delirious seems to be stepping in as a possible replacement leader for The Resilience, and that was before Austin Aries was pulled. ROH can now go wider and more convenient (for some) with their DVDs.

If you're a fan of ROH, or good wrestling, just support this thing, and tell your friends about it.

Doesn't surprise me. I have people like him worked out. My friend is one, actually.

I think he believes he is more intellectually appreciated than he actually is. Wouldn't surprise me if he tried to wow people at parties with his "knowledge" of politics, culture, literature, or what have you (especially when drunk). None of this knowledge is first hand, mind you. They're his own amateurish opinions, formed by the beliefs of guys like Jon Stewart, Roger Ebert or H.P. Lovecraft, which he is just taking for a spin.

I don't want to sound as petty as he does with his "assaults", but it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't have too much luck with the ladies, either. Pushes too far, tries to get away with too much "humour" (which they would find a turn off, as it is very pretentious) and he really gets nowhere, while they think what a loser he is, as he gives his mates the "thumbs up".

People like KK aren't stupid, but they are disliked, and they don't end up successful. They're too smart to be stupid, but they're too idiotic to be intelligent.

I'd love to know what he does with his life. If he is successful (not "going to be successful", currently is successful), happily married/in a relationship, I would be pleasantly surprised. Good for him, if he is.

If he's not, though, I'd laugh at his expense, because dicks like him warrant it.

What the fuck is the straw hat reference? I assume you're only trying to entertain yourself, because that's all you ever manage to do.

And it doesn't surprise me that you only pick moments where you won't look like the dick you are for being a dick.

By the way, I love the irony that someone calling someone else an idiot couldn't originally quote right. It's simple, you hit the "quote" button, and what you want to be an ass about because you have a rare moment of pathetic inspiration, comes up, all ready to go. Then you don't delete the end bit of it, because you are too eager to make a reference which, assuming by the way it alludes, isn't even your own.

Please keep walking. Come back when you get some material of your own to try and be smarmy about. And come back when you're actually a consistent human being with, you know, some levels of integrity?

"Straw Man," tard.

And I love the fact that you're actually bringing up not quoting correctly.

That's actually pretty close to another strawman in and of itself. Trying to make an issue out of that. You know.

Because you're fucking stupid. And that's not about entertainment. That's about you making stupid argument.

That should tell you something about how entertaining you are. I can't even be fucked to read your big writing all the way.

And I was bringing up your inability to click a button, not be bothered reading what I have written. My God, I don't read all the bullshit you write (you might not like to admit it, but there is more bullshit in a single sentence of your's than in eighteen paragraphs of me making Funaki a World Champion), so me calling you out on not reading what I wrote would be hypocritical.

No, my friend, I am merely pointing out your inability to hit a button correctly. Everyone makes mistakes, but I would not be doing that and going around calling people "'tard".

"Because you're fucking stupid. And that's not about entertainment. That's about you making stupid argument." - Stereotypical Asian guy from King of the Hill. At least, I think that was the impression I think you were trying.

Dude, I'm not fucking stupid. I don't want to gloat, but I know how smart I am, and I may not show it in the little wrestling posts I make for fun, but I'm betting that you're underestimating my intelligence, and everyone here has been overestimating your's.

Get out of the shadows, stop spinning things; making elusive arguments veiled behind cliches and ideas taken from other, smarter, more entertaining human beings. They could pull them off because they were respectable; likeable, human beings.

Official Statement


Ladies and Gentlemen this is an official statement issued by one Castagnoli Claudio.


There have been rumors about my status as a US resident, my visa, work visa and so forth.


Those rumors are FALSE.


These rumors hurt me, my integrity and my status in this country and business.


I'm a man of honor, pride and integrity.


I do have a green card or permanent resident card if you will and also do have a social security number. In case you don't know, you need both of these in order to be and work in this country legally.


So before so called "News Sites" and "Newsletters" release heavy statements or rumors like that, they should really do their job. It's called research.


Let me close by saying there was and is nothing wrong with my visa or residential status.


Sincerely,

Castagnoli, Claudio

I have been, and I like it.

RVD isn't exactly "Mr. Technical" (which is why I think you said it was markish), but I would much rather prefer to see him jump to ROH rather than TNA.

RVD is a great bumper, and could put over guys like Brent Albright, BJ Whitmer and Takeshi Morishima.

If Mick Foley isn't under WWE contract, and he and the WWE are going through a roughish period at the time, can you imagine Mick Foley vs. Rob Van Dam in a Fight Without Honor?

Yeah, I've been saying for a while now that a Mick Foley versus Rob Van Dam match would be a hardcore dream match. Fucking hands down it would be pretty close to a 5 star match.

It's one of those matches were the dynamics of the personalities just work, too. Rob Van Dam has the fitness, martial arts, weight-lifting, etc. Mick Foley...well, doesn't. It'd just work as a clash, in my opinion, on so many different levels.

Foley can't work anymore. Van Dam...well let's just say I question his motivation to ever pull out all the stops again. It'd be a clusterfuck, IMO, and would not go down well at all.

Foley's pretty much had his time in ROH with the stuff he did with Joe and Punk, they don't really need him to go back and do something with Van Dam, who would already be over (or not, in all likelihood)
