Only_The_Strong_Survive Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Is this going to be available over here i wonder? Â Seems to be quite expensive for an SD show aswel, Glad they are giving an option for HD though. Its about time they started using HD cameras and offering HD TV and Blu Rays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 17, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Good news overall, because its a step in the right direction. ROH are going to have to up their game in terms of storylines, though. The shows are good for ones offs, but their character development and progress of their angles has left a lot to be desired. They are going to have to make some new Samoa Joes or CM Punks or something. You cant get by when it comes to asking people to spend over $9.99 like they did with iPPVs. They have so much generic shit around the bottom to middle portion of the card. Guys who were they wear the black trunks and have the same physique and have the terrible entrance music. They should develop Hansen's character. He looks awesome. And bring in some exciting workers like Johnny Gargano or Ricochet to spice to cards up. Maybe bring Kaz and Daniels in. ROH is the opposite of TNA. ROH has a lot of good stuff in place, but it doesn't look polished. If they upgraded the presentation and got a bit more variety on the shows they'd be away. Â Doubt its going to happen, but I reckon if Nigel McGuinness came out of retirement for the first PPV that would cause a lot of buzz.

We could see Gargano 1 day if his deal runs out, Ricochet is unlikely though with his Dragon Gate Japan commitments.  @courtbauer "Will there be an iPPV option?

seanz25 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I hate to say it, and I want them to succeed, but i have a feeling that this will fall on it's arse. TNA can't draw on PPV, yea they're programming to build up the PPV's is wank, but they have a significant mainstream TV Deal in place, one that's much more extensive than the ROH syndicated setup they've currently got, plus you can get you're WWE PPV's for $10 in HD. ROH are chargin 24.95 for an SD Version, yea a few thousand loyal fans may buy if they're lucky, but the PPV cut will me tiny. Are they really that big a company that this is viable?

harlow2 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I wonder if cable/satellite companies were searching out for wrestling options with WWE abandoning them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I would be very interested to see how this does in comparison to Sacrifice next week, because that build has been so shite that I imagine if ROH really promoted this to death and had a good build, they would run it close. Â I'm one of those people who, if it's on the telly, I'll probably buy it and watch it. I know everything's available for free, but I hate the hassle of having to watch it on a little screen, try to navigate pop-ups or taking five hours to download part one of four for a PPV. I just want to be able to turn on my telly and have it there for me without having to worry about my internet not being fast enough or the servers crashing. It's all a pain in the arse to me and I know there will be lots of people out there who will agree, so this is a massive plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only_The_Strong_Survive Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Thought i'd ask in here, Â I've been an ROH fan since there debut on HDnet, Over the years i managed to collect every single ROH show. Im proud of my collection spanning 12 years. But over the years i've less and less time to watch the old stuff while keeping up with the new stuff. Ive watched from 2002 to the start of 2006, And from the start of my fandom in 2009 till now. Â My question is should i sell my collection and just buy the comps instead? I always said i could go back and watch it all again but am i really going to have the time to watch 12 years and growing worth of 3 - 4 hour dvds? Â Also wondering what some of these would be worth nowadays, All originals and lots from 2006 till start of 2009 still sealed. Also have Glory By Honor VI Night 1 or 2 (I can't remember which) Signed by Misawa and Kenta Edited April 19, 2014 by Only_The_Strong_Survive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted April 19, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) I sold a bunch on Ebay. All can depend on how many other copies of the individual show are about.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Christ! Will be definitely checking this out. The show is absolutely stacked. This has the potential to be the show of the year. Great to see Alex Shelley back in the States. Chris Sabin is a free agent now. Would like to see them work together in ROH in the near future. Maybe even have Sabin and someone against the Time Splitters. Or Sabin, Shelley and Kushida vs the Young Bucks and Adam Cole or something. Would definitely love to see more of Shelley, though. The guy is sensational. Edited April 23, 2014 by IANdrewDiceClay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Hopefully we do see Sabin down the line in ROH also, Even though i hear he's had to change his style due to injuries. Motor City Machine Guns in ROH would be awesome, Add them and Bad Influence to roster and the tag division would be stacked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingmad Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 These upcoming shows are looking blinding. I mean the Ballroom has been sold out for weeks for this. I was blown away by the Supercard of Honor show I saw live in New Orleans. I've not been a fan for a few years, mind is changed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Benno Posted April 23, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 I get the idea of ROH/NJPW showcase matches and I'm sure it'll be fun...but yeah, the NJPW matches are a tad bit dull there. Â Hopefully they're resting the big guns in tags for some bigger singles matches in New York. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
