Paid Members Supremo Posted January 30, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 30, 2017 Is this all Roderick String has to offer? Solid workrate? Admittedly, I don't watch a tonne of Ring Of Honor, but from what I've seen I can't help but wonder why a boring bastard like Strong is being brought in when a daft, entertaining guy like Dalton Castle, or a pair of maniacs like the Briscoes haven't been signed up. Strong sucks.
King Pitcos Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 If Nakamura and Dillinger got called up, would Strong be the top babyface in NXT?
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 30, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 30, 2017 If Nakamura and Dillinger got called up, would Strong be the top babyface in NXT? That's a harrowing thought, but yeah- probably. No wonder Triple H isn't happy with where NXT is right now.
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 30, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 30, 2017 If Nakamura and Dillinger got called up, would Strong be the top babyface in NXT?I assume Kassius Ohno will take that spot? The idea of Strong as a top babyface is laughable.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 30, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 30, 2017 Looking at the current roster, it really would be Strong or No Way Jose. They badly need to fix this.
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted January 30, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 30, 2017 Roddy Strong the top face? I have three words: no way, José!
the_mole Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 They get probably over $200 million on TV rights worldwide, they should have most of their best guys on TV, I don't know what Nakamura was making in Japan but he's probably on a lot more than $300,000 a year, wrestling in front of 300 fans every few weeks and a take over 6 times a year.
Paid Members WeeAl Posted January 30, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 30, 2017 With that being the case, Nakamura may get comfortable down there. Roderick Strong is a less interesting version of Dean Malenko.
Guest Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 The Briscoes didn't want to relocate to Orlando apparently, sort of a shame, though obviously not for ROH - if the Briscoes left the company would have fuck all identity left Them, Dalton + his boys & Silas Young + the Beer City Bruiser (what a fucking heel team, honestly, mustached Real-Man and a big agile fat cunt bringing tinnies to the ring) would all be amazing in NXT
Loki Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 NXT is the only brand I really watch properly now, so obviously I'm over the moon that Roode is sitting pretty at the top. My boy. Other than a rematch with Michael Jackson, things look a little thin though. As others have said, Roderick Strong is just unbelievably bland, like a create-a-wrestler character. I find No Way Jose to be laughably shit, and although he's better as a heel Almas isn't exactly setting hearts on fire. Personally I'd like to see more Elias Samson. He's got the goods to make the fans spit blood, which can only be a good thing. Samson, Eric Young, Roode... good heels, just short of faces.

War Machine look pretty good, they'd make a good addition to NXT as soon as AOP move up one day. Although in terms of appearance, they already have Heavy Machinery- who could be their own version when pushed. Dalton Castle, Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Will Ospreay, Matt Riddle & Jeff Cobb. These are the guys WWE need to look at when it comes to replenishing their conveyer belt roster. They can't approach Young Bucks until late 2018, and who the fuck knows what's happening with Omega. By all accounts, they are apparently signing Kyle O'Reilly and then Adam Cole once his ROH contract expires.

From the Observer Radio show he did last week it sounds like he's staying in Japan for a minimum of another year.

Silas and The Bruiserhttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/CUJbjuAUYAAK9Zq.jpg Both terrific miserable twats. Get Silas talking about 'millennial so-called men' or whatever while his mate flattens people with frogsplashes, absolute heat magnet The Dalton Castle/Silas Young feud is probably the most fun I've had watching ROH since about 2007.
Ambulance Chaser Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Dalton Castle in the money guy for WWE in ROH for me, his charisma is off the scale, don't do anything daft just bring the boys along with him and keep the entrance, except pomp it up with WWE production values and you are off to the races. I can see him feuding with Roode already, Bobby dressed to the nines looking down on Castle as some sort of freak, thing is once the bell rings Dalton can fucking go, he works his tail off. Not so sure about guys like Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly or Matt Taven, they just all become so generic, before you know it you have a dozen Roddy Strong types. Silas Young is a decent shout as a miserable twat heel. Another guy they should pursue is Leo Rush for either 205 Live or NXT, he is unbelievably talented.
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 31, 2017 Paid Members Posted January 31, 2017 I've only seen Dalton Castle twice, but he stood out massively as someone who's perfect for NXT. Glad I'm not alone in thinking that. He's everything I love about pro-wrestling, this over the top, daft entrance, ridiculous character, and a cracking little wrestler as well. I wouldn't change a thing about him. Imagine his Takeover entrances.
