His gimmick is right out of a mid-2000 e-fed, too. I've seen about a dozen matches of his in 2018 and had already made my mind up to nominate him as worst wrestler in the 2018 awards, so was stunned to read the news this morning that he's heading to NXT.

Something that people would be interested in watching more than the latest round of Finn Balor vs Baron Corbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinc Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) The notion that every feud/match/storyline must get a young guy over, or else it hasn't 'accomplished' anything, is among the worst wrestling tropes around.

Guest Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Personally Punishment is one of the few on the ROH roster who actually interests me. Him, Dalton Castle and Gresham are all I give a shit about there anymore. Hoss who can do mad shit and has a cool deep voice + spooky laugh. Inherently more interesting than Corbin. Very inconsistent and unpolished but I've thought for a while Vince could (and does) do loads worse He's an interesting wrestler, he had a hilarious botch fest with Soberano Jr. (who in fairness arrived late to the venue that day) but then later in the month showed people the match he wanted to have with a great little sprint against Marty Scurll, who im not a big fan of. His good moments are very good and I think he'll bring enough character value that he'll do better in WWE than people who are superior wrestlers such as Keith Lee Edited September 30, 2018 by sj5522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aye, Martinez is the drizzling shits. The rest of the ROH roster, bar a few main eventers and the likes of Gresham, is dreadfully stale too.

Jon-Carr_92 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Yeah. I got The Dudley Boyz Straight Outta Dudleyville with the limited edition slipcase that has fold out table legs. I also saw a while back they had the Sainsbury's exclusive slipcase edition of WrestleMania XXXI which is the main 4 matches and the Brock Lesnar v Roman Reigns quarter has a image of Seth Rollins inserted in the background in reference to his cash in during that match, so I got that. It's mainly a load of the comps they have in that sale, but not a bad choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Kairi Sane, Io Shirai and Mauro Ranallo were all shown in the crowd last night at the New Japan show, in the past wrestlers have been punished for that, do we reckon the same thing will happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right that not everything should have that aim and I never had a problem with that rumoured Rock/Trips match for that reason. However a big problem with the last decade or so is that every big star who has popped in for a few appearances has left nothing when they've left. The rise of Daniel Bryan is possibly the only exception but that was a fluke. Maybe Roman although he was "made" long before he beat Taker. Not every story should make someone but surely at some point, you've got to try with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I doubt they will, and why should they? From Liger being on a TakeOver to Tanahashi and Aikawa being allowed backstage on one of their shows, they acknowledge there exists a world outside themselves. Nobody got in trouble here either.  Edited October 1, 2018 by air_raid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like it’s a very different time now. You’ve got the New Day doing video game tournaments with The Elite, Kevin Owens describing Juice Robinson as the best promo in the business on Twitter and Daniel Bryan openly talking about what an achievement, “All In,” was in press interviews. It’s nothing like it was back when that poor chap in the Highlanders was shown in the crowd during a TNA show.
