LEGIT Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Definitely spectacular, over-doing it a fair bit though IMO Edited September 7, 2014 by LEGIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznor Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I can think of a lot of other words i'd use before 'spectacular' Fuxake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I either really like it or really hate it. I don't know which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgi86 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Over on Twitter the Bucks have been calling that move the Meltzer Driver. Funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted September 7, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) The Meltzer driver is great. I fucking love the Bucks. Their whole act is just so daft but there's a self awareness that makes it work. Â Word from Meltzer is ROH had no plans to take the belt from Elgin but the Baseball stuff ruffled some feathers. Theres also various things floating around about ROH possibly being upset he wasn't protecting the title, doing a clean job at PWG for example. Sounds like he's been a headache. His twitter timeline is pretty weird, tweeting baseball teams asking about tryouts. Â The show itself though was great. 12 quid to watch live and very high quality on Ustream. Bucks/ReDRagon and AJ/Cole were the highlights but the whole show was fun. Only downside was a poor crowd in the big moments. A very worthy purchase.

Paid Members Benno Posted September 7, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Well, they either lucked out or knew there was a potential issue:  F4WOnline.com  -In a weird way, Ring Of Honor lucked out on the last minute decision to take the title off Michael Elgin last night. Elgin ended up stopped at the border due to working visa issues and will not be allowed in the U.S. for 90 days. That had nothing to do with him losing the title, which was for a variety of reasons, most discussed last night. But had they not done it, they'd have been without a champion or would have had to strip him of the title in an awkward manner.

Paid Members gadge Posted September 18, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2014 This week's TV is well worth watching through the ROH site. AJ Styles vs Kyle O'Reilly and Briscoes vs Young Bucks in one 50 minute show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted September 20, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 I've just finished watching the ROH TV episode Gadge recommends above, making it the first ROH I've seen in about 18 months (after previously getting EVERY show from 2002-2010, then just limiting myself to the big signature shows, then giving up altogether). Â It was a really good, well put-together simple little show that was an easy watch, and I'll probably consider myself a regular viewer again for this point, of the weekly TV at least. Â Couple of really good matches, a few angles, and commentary that does a good job of explaining everything that's going on. Â I didn't know they broke up their 'big' events into TV blocks now too (this show was matches from 'Death Before Dishonor' this year) as well as the other tapings. Â What day does the new TV go up on the website each week. Â I know members get it early (and plenty of ROH fans could be described as 'members'), and 'paid members' get the full archive, but what day does the current episode swap over?

Paid Members Benno Posted September 20, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2014 It's Thursday I believe. Â ROH keeps having these great iPPV's that seem to garner them all kinds of goodwill and momentum and then they follow it with TV that's highlights of month old shows. Next week's TV for example is going to have an Elgin title defence, weeks after he dropped the belt in what was a relatively big story. Â That aside, when the TV is as good as this week, that can be forgiven. While Bucks/Briscoes was fun, AJ/O'Reilly was particularly tremendous. Show was also absolutely worth seeing just for that Jay Lethal knee brace advert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only_The_Strong_Survive Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Know its late but i watched Final Battle 2014 last week and its a much better outing than Best In The World 2014 in my eyes. Whole feel and flow of the show was just much better then BITW. Addiction/Alexander vs Bucks/ACH, Time Splitters vs reDRagon and Cole vs Briscoe were all awesome matches. Â Only downside seems to be the venue got shit all over for restricted views and the buyrates were down, Probably down to it being christmas period more than anything.

ryan1888 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 on the venue argument, i wish they'd run the hammerstein ballroom a hell of alot more. that was the first venue i seen ROH work and it had me hooked. fantastic venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted February 6, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 6, 2015 Final Battle was a good show but yeah, they were stuck running that shitty building because the Hammerstein is out of their price range. Â There was a thing in the Observer this week that Joe Koff had a meeting trying to convince the Sinclair TV bods that they should make a run for Number 2 promotion with TNA falling as they are. He apparently even had Adam Cole and The Briscoes there cutting promos about it for some reason as part of his pitch. Â Needless to say, it isn't happening and ROH is remaining the solidly entertaining but ultimately "just there" cheapo television product it is.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 24, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2015 So many opponents for him to work with in ROH at the minute. Both fresh faces and familiar ones. Glad he's back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 24, 2015 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 24, 2015 That's a great video, immediately reminds you how great and how much of an aura Joe had at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
