April 16, 20187 yr comment_5842989 They announced Liger for some of the War of the Worlds shows in May. Hoping for something like Liger/Gresham at the Chicago show.
April 16, 20187 yr comment_5842990 The tag gauntlet on this week's show is really fucking terrible and long. Did I mention that it's long as fuck? So this week's show is skippable? The end of the taping cycle usually is.
April 16, 20187 yr comment_5842992 Yeah. The gauntlet is 75% of the episode and then a Kazarian/Takahashi match that's pretty paint by numbers.
April 17, 20187 yr comment_5843175 I watched it because I was up late with my newborn and needed something on. I nodded off at a few points. If they'd brought that gauntlet down to 20 minutes or so, it could have been fun, but there was no need for it be 35.
April 19, 20187 yr comment_5843684 https://youtu.be/Oh3Qmjxvr4A ROH TBT Lacey, the American Beaty and I'm Kevin Spacey... Came across this on YouTube and I have an urge to dive into old ROH shows just to rewatch the Jimmy Loves Lacey angle and those crazy Jimmy Jacobs and BJ Whitmer matches.
April 19, 20187 yr comment_5843725 Just watched the Jacobs/Whitmer cage match again last year. Has its faults, but it's still a blast. I'd be curious to see how the Aries/Jacobs series holds up though. Been meaning to go back & check those out for awhile.

Came across this on YouTube and I have an urge to dive into old ROH shows just to rewatch the Jimmy Loves Lacey angle and those crazy Jimmy Jacobs and BJ Whitmer matches. I was front row for that first one in Detroit and they landed right in front of me on that botched super powerbomb spot. We thought Jacobs was dead.
April 23, 20187 yr comment_5844443 I was there too! I lived right down the road from that venue and caught every show. Miss those days.
April 24, 20187 yr comment_5844764 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?
April 24, 20187 yr comment_5844786 The semis and final of the women's tournament were fucking awful. So bad. Worst matches in NOLA that weekend.
April 25, 20187 yr comment_5844799 The ending of Sakai/Klein was just embarrassing to watch. Why do a women's division if you can't do it well?
April 25, 20187 yr comment_5844864 The ending of Sakai/Klein was just embarrassing to watch. Why do a women's division if you can't do it well? I thought the semi's were OK (just about), but the final was dreadful. I have no idea what they were going for with the moonsault that missed but was meant to hit and then a rough as hell and awkward DDT which had the worst combination of looking terrible but also looking really dangerous that meant the ending of the match got no reaction. As I think others have mentioned, given they had spent two years building up Kelly Klein's undefeated streak, the fact it ended like that basically makes the whole streak null and void. Don't understand the booking of the tournament at all - from everything I can tell Sumie Sakai seems like a lovely person, but I always thought that using Emma to put over Deonna Purrazo in the final would've been the way to go. It also would've been a really good match probably!

It also would've been a really good match probably! Sakai was like the fourth most logical option in the tournament, behind Emma (who has a big star vibe), Klein (beating Emma or Purazzo in the final to set up a feud), or Purazzo (beating Klein to pay off their feud). I also thought the semis were ok (watched them on TV this week since I'd skipped the pre-show day of), but the final was as bad as I recall. And the TV is still dead if it's not pushing the Bullet Club wars forward.
April 25, 20187 yr comment_5844893 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.
April 25, 20187 yr comment_5844958 I literally only watch their super cards and never feel like I miss a single relevant thing. I've never seen a single episode of their TV, but it sounds terrible. I mean, I'm sure they occasionally have a match worth watching or whatever. But I don't feel obligated to see every above average match put out by every company on earth or anything. So, if the TV isn't even slightly compelling, I'm good.
April 25, 20187 yr comment_5844960 I only watch it because it's easy to access but there have been times like 2014 and 2015 where the TV was good.
April 26, 20187 yr comment_5844974 The few times I've watched ROH through the Fite app or whatever, it's been hot garbage...bush league presentation, mediocre indy 'rasslers, and Bubba Ray Dudley stinking up the joint.
April 30, 20187 yr comment_5846184 Read on DVDVR someone mention that someone from ROH said they will not be adding the pre-HDNet era stuff to Honor Club which means I'll never sign up. Their best years were before they aired on HDNet so it's a huge mistake to not add that stuff.

Their best years were before they aired on HDNet so it's a huge mistake to not add that stuff. It's okay, you wouldn't be able to find it even if it was there.
April 30, 20187 yr comment_5846201 I subscribed to the Honor Club predecessor about 5-6 years ago when it came out. It was GARBAGE then and also didn't feature much pre-HDNet footage, so that wouldn't surprise me.
April 30, 20187 yr comment_5846202 Honor Club managed to be worse. I could actually find stuff on the old system.

Their best years were before they aired on HDNet so it's a huge mistake to not add that stuff. They already have? There's a Punk comp up there. But yeah, the full shows should be up there, and I don't know when they plan on doing that. If I was into streaming the current shows, I would not be a subscriber.
