Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4
You know that guy would be the first to rant and rave about his profession getting disrespected too.

Ring of Honor Wrestling
I only watch it because it's easy to access but there have been times like 2014 and 2015 where the TV was good.

Too much or too little?
What I hate is how a show like RoH can go. You sit through a 20 minute match and then they follow that up with a 30 minute match. It gets old. I really enjoyed Chikara and NXT for this. Shorter matches and shows you were out of in 2-3 hours. Chikara shows are really good for that leaving you wanting more. They run about 2 hours, the main event is usually about 20ish minutes and everything else can run short to mid range. Nothing tends to overstay it's welcome.

Too much or too little?
I tend to prefer shorter matches. I hate 60 minute matches and I usually start losing interest in matches that go past 35 minutes.

Has wrestling gone overboard with the various streaming services?
The Fite app is really great if you don't have it. A lot of free content and you get RoH and CWF Hollywood TV plus a lot of other promotions.

Former Wrestlers Speaks Out Against Allegations That Led to WWE Removing Fabulous Moolah's Name from Battle Royal
Yeah, I don't get it. I get being skeptical but I think even if you're skeptical it's more of a "I don't see any compelling evidence right now" vs. a strong conviction that she absolutely is innocent.

I'm sitting at work trying to not laugh my ass off at you reading that review of the dildo from last week's show right now.

Their TV is really bad at pushing any kind of narrative forward. Some weeks you feel like there are feuds and then they just never get mentioned for weeks.

The ending of Sakai/Klein was just embarrassing to watch. Why do a women's division if you can't do it well?

My friend wouldn't believe me when I told him Drew Gulak was Soldier Ant.

Yeah, I love Jervis. I know he isn't the first person to do the character but he brought it to life.

The semis and final of the women's tournament were fucking awful.

I try really hard with RoH but their TV is just so fucking shitty an lazy. We're weeks past Supercard of Honor and they're just now showing matches off of that show. How are you supposed to ever be excited about the product or sustain interest when you get these month long dead zones surrounding the big shows?

I think Condron has the potential to be a really special talent, maybe in the ring, definitely as a super charismatic personality. I really enjoy his vaping douchebag gimmick.

I thought the Tito vs. Kevin Condron match from last week's CWF Hollywood show was a lot of fun. I recently started watching their TV again and had forgotten what a fun product they put out.

Who was a bigger star at his peak?
The real botch was that they waited almost a year to give him the belt when fans were dying to see it. He should have won it at the Rumble.
-
Who was a bigger star at his peak?
The product was pretty busted by the time he went back. They did have an impact on the numbers with the Broken Hardy shit there and in RoH though.

I think people kind of forget what a train wreck Savage was from the late 90s well into the he 00s too.

She was what 12 at the time? That's a serious hornets nest to kick.

Technical Wrestlers Today
It is, I think, kind of a common problem with a certain kind of young wrestler. Stringing move after move together with a kind of "Look at me! Look how many moves I know!" type of attitude rather than trying to tell any kind of coherent story or develop dramatic tension or whatever. It not just jumpy flippy guys who are spot monkeys. Hopefully they'll grow out of it eventually. He reminds me a lot of young Chris Hero who would absolutely derail matches trying to show off how many moves he could do.

It's the lack of struggle that bugs me too. It feels like he has a checklist to go through every match.

It's probably not worth the cost of a potential lawsuit.

It actually makes her worse since she was in a position to protect her people and chose money over them.

Is TNA the worst wrestling promotion in history?
This needs to happen on Southpaw wrestling.
