Pinc Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Innit, let people speculate. Its not implausible that this could lead to a come back of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I was thinking too, people are obviously going to get excited, he hasn’t done anything wrestling related since leaving in 2014, so with him doing this it’s hard for his fans not to get excited that he’s got a bit of the bug or through doing this could catch the bug to want to wrestle again. Early days of course but anything’s possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Kennedy Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 It’s quite clever really. Punk does a special appearance in his home town for a company he’s been affiliated with for a while now and it will help boost ticket sales for his friends’ event the same weekend.

Daaaaaad! Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I reckon he's prime for a "special guest enforcer" role. You know, like his fellow real fighters Shamrock and Tyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 All In, Cody and Bucks event, sold out a 10,000 seater in an hour today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted May 13, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2018 Fair play to them. That’s a hell of an achievement. You have to wonder how big of a building they could’ve filled if they managed to shift 10,000 seats in an hour. Fingers crossed they stream the show now they’ve shifted all the tickets.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 14, 2018 Love how the biggest indie show in decades is playing the Five Star Wrestling "CM Punk might be there, honest!" marketing card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westlondonmist Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Have they announced any other matches other than Aldis vs Cody? I also imagine a 2nd show early next year and an attempt at selling out 20,000. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 To be honest, wasn't this all just to prove a point after a debate with someone rather than a plan to start running more shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it a running joke at Meltzer or something? If they can make money out of it then I think they will do more. Not a regular show promotion but 2-3 shows a year.

Thing is, it hasn't even done that. Meltzer originally said that ROH would struggle to sell out a 10,000 seater. Which they haven't done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is it too early for Ronda as champ but it'd basically be a face vs face match with very little build and zero heat. I don't know what they're thinking here.

Yeah I thought the house show matches coming up this week, and recent TV, indicated Rousey's next PPV match would be with Mickie James, who would undoubtedly do a far better job carrying Rousey to a watchable match than Jax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted May 14, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 14, 2018 Have to imagine we're getting a bait and switch of some kind, or Natalya turns on her and costs Rousey the match near the start so they can spin Rousey off with Natalya for a few months and away from the title picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
