The King is Dead Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Someone's saying Vic Viper won Nigel's title tonight in Ireland on the ROH boards. I don't believe him but just so we know, anyone have the results from IWW's show?EDIT: Nigel will probably just win it back tomorrow if its true. Won't go down in the history books.

Paid Members Dearly Devoted Dexter Posted June 15, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2008 I see ROH have booked the "Marks For Japan 2" tour for September. I thought they were supposed to be saving money at the moment? Speaking of money, some Bot on the boards claimed that the PPV's were selling better than expected. If this is the case, then why not release the buyrates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cum Doctor Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 any Albright match that goes under ten minutes gets the thumbs up from me.I'm beginning to think that I'm the only one who likes Brent Albright. He has a strange look about him, but I always find watching him in ROH fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a strange look about him, but I always find watching him in ROH fun.He's ok when he sticks to simple big man moves, but apparently he complained to Gabe that he was a more well rounded wrestler than that. Which is laughable if you you've ever watched him work the arm. He isn't helped by the fact he's (at the time of RA) in the worst heel stable ever. As long as he stays away from main events I can live with him being in the mid card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gadge Posted June 16, 2008 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I take it that Rising Above review is written in live match order, or something? As a DVD experience, I thought the 2 hour PPV segment was very good, the bonus matches were just there. That review makes it sound disjointed. Oh, and you missed the women's three-way altogether...

alexander Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Oh man, AAA to ROH...This has the potential to be so, so ugly you can't imagine...I never got why ROH were so resistant to bringing in Lucha legends to work exhibitions like they do for Japanese guys. Santito and Panther will tear the house down for half an hour for a fraction of the price it costs to ship Muta or Kobashi in, and the massive Latino population of the states will turn out to see them.But yeah, Extreme Tiger, Crazy Boy and Joe Lider in ROH...The comedy potential is limitless.

Tazz was criticized for believing his character too much, i'm sure I heard a story about Jim Cornette not letting people walk on the same side of the road or something, that's how it should be but the ECW generation has devoured kayfabe.

This has become an enjoyable, friendly discussion thread, don't turn it into a redunant argument where nobody will change their minds and everyone will repeat the same points over and over.Sorry to mini-mod, I just don't want this thread to be dragged off-topic into irrelevant rhetoric.
