Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 25, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted August 25, 2016 Not really. Doesnt seem to be that inspired if I'm honest. The whole promotion seems to be built around waiting for the New Japan guys to show up. Its fun to see how much Kevin Sullivan has totally lost it as a character. He looks like Tim Healy in a dressing gown doing Joey faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 How often are roh running shows? And what kinda crowds are they pulling in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 They are pretty much constantly touring about, having a few shows per week, or every few weeks depending on the year. and pull in pretty decent crowds to my knowledge. Personally, I would just say, watch the last pay per view, then keep up with the results online/watch the tv show (you can watch in on their website for free)., and each big event/PPV has all the recaps anyway, so you'll soon get up to speed.

stevieg1980 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I think if your looking to start watching ROH with regards to being up to date with the current product then this week's episode is worth a watch. War Machine vs Keith Lee and Shane Taylor Cheeseburger vs Joey Daddiago vs David Starr vs Tim Evans The continuation of the Kevin Sullivan / BJ Whitmer / Steve Corino story The Cabinet vs Dalton Castle and The Boys And The Addiction vs The Young Bucks. Episode flew by and as its the start of the new tapings it feels a bit fresher than the last few months have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRINCE2356 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 So PCW vs ROH weekender is cancelled and been replaced by a 4 company supershow with WXW, CZW, PCW & Beyond Wrestling. Thought something was up when ROH booked the same night as PCW in liverpool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackpot Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Is the Olympia any good as a venue? Whenever I've walked past it always look big but looks run down. Mind you, most of West Derby Rd looks run down, especially that "hotel" on the opposite side to the Olympia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytie 2X4B 523P Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Wouldn't say the Olympia is run down but to say it could do with a lick of paint is an understatement, it is still a cracking venue and has its charm. Really enjoyed every show I've been to there (although the last NGW show was ridiculously cold). Not a bad seat in the house either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackpot Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Cheers mate, I'll have to try and get in there for a show at some point then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted September 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2016 I went to the first UK ROH show in the Olympia back in August 2006, then both the follow-up ROH double-header there in March 2007, but haven't been back since the King of Europe Cup weekender in April 2007. In fact, I think I've actually only been to Liverpool itself once since then, so looking forward to enjoying that particular city again. I've only ever sat in the first balcony (I'll be second row for the upcoming ROH show) but I actually quite liked the Olympia as a venue inside. Scruffy as hell on the outside, and the walk up to the place from the city centre makes you question what you're doing with your life, but it had a certain charm.

stevieg1980 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm pretty much the same as you Benny show wise except I went to the two TNA shows in 2008 as well and the 1PW fiasco on 2010. Sat front row of the 1st balcony for every show apart from 1PW which was so empty we moved to the 2nd row. Always a good view in the Olympia and yeah its not in good nick bit there's always a good atmosphere for a full show and the place has a old school charm about it. Still can't believe TNA used it in their TNA Impact video game. But there isn't an arena I'd rather watch wrestling in. I fell back in love with wrestling thanks to that 2006 ROH show. Certainly better than falling in love with a toothless hag in the Grafton next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
