Its ironic that in a promotion that is all about workrate the sports entertainment style stuff is the best thing about it. Project161 , Larry Sweeney , the Toland/Dempsey deal , Jimmy loves Lacey and even looking back at Nana and Embassy. ROH does good sports entertainment!

I don't really think its ROH doing Sports Entertainment. Its just doing angles and stories (Jimmy/Lacey aside). Thats what wrestlings about.

I mean the hanging thing sounds like something Vince would love to do if he thought he could get away with it.

I think we can completely rule that out until the whole Benoit thing is long and forgotten.That picture of Jimmy is so fucking cool. Jay/Mark Briscoe (not sure which one it was) couldn't have bled that much, surely?

It's been confirmed that the Age Of The Fall footage WILL be on the next Video Wire. Am I a sick puppy for looking forward to seeing it?

No not at all. This from all accounts is the best thing they have ever done. Also im glad to see Tyler Black has revealed himself as the guy behind the blogging. Not a big deal i know but at least it puts him up there as a leader alongside Jimmy Jacobs. Not just someone in the background. This stable is awesomely creepy.

Never seen the Jay Briscoe/Samoa Joe cage match then?

I love that match.I'm currently half way into 'A Fight at the Roxbury' - and if the second half is as good as the first half, it'll be a really good effort as on paper the show didn't look that great going in.

Ah, knew I had something to talk about - Austin Aries Vs Morishima from "Battle Of Saint Paul" is just a fantastic match. Aries really shows why he's a cut above, you could tell he was leading Morishima and stopping him from selling as much as usual. And when he hit the same combo that beat Joe for the title the place was unglued. That guy is such a smart worker, and his selling of the beating he took was great. Aries is about the most underrated guy in ROH history, I think. If the Shingo match is better (As I've heard) then I can't wait for it.

Video Wire with lots of great footage.

 

The Aries/Morishima match is one of my favourite title matches of Morishimas run (that and Fighting Spirit with Nigel)

 

The Crowd are crazy when he hits the combo.

Fuck me, how does Jay Briscoe have any blood left in his body after that?

 

Real good set up for the new stable. I think they already announced Briscoes Vs two from AOTF for an upcoming show. Bound to be Black/Jacobs, but Necro/Jacobs sounds like an awesome team on paper.

Wasnt Jacobs wearing a leg brace? I thought he was fit but that footage made him look injured.As for the angle well it was awesome. I hope they increase its numbers and give Jimmy a proper little disfunctional army to lead. Surprised they have blown their load with the match so soon though. I can only think that Jimmy will antagonise the Briscoes to the edge whilst never actually getting in the ring with them. Then the pay off comes when he actually does step up and face them.

All right, I'll bite. Let's have a looksee......Ok, so I'm not a regular watcher of ROH, so maybe you can answer a few qns about that video?1) Who was the weird looking old man in denim shorts? It looks like one of the Moondogs has unretired or some shit. His legs are the skinniest I've seen in a wrestling ring.2) Why are there a bunch of skiers at ringside? Was this filmed in Colorado or something?3) Who is the tiny guy with the cane? Is he someone's son? His voice sounds like it's just breaking, so I presume he's about 15.4) Is that porn star Liz Vicious in the ring?If that is the best thing ROH has ever done, it doesn't look like I'm missing much to be honest.

[LaGoosh]

It's not the best thing ROH's ever done. I have watched alot of ROH and found this incredibly underwhelming and dissappointing after all the hype it's got.

He's wrestled a few matches recently, but I wouldn't object to a big hold off before the Briscoes get at him.

1) Who was the weird looking old man in denim shorts? It looks like one of the Moondogs has unretired or some shit. His legs are the skinniest I've seen in a wrestling ring.

Necro Butcher. More of a Brody with better psychology and attitude than a Moondog. I also find it hard to believe you've never seen Christopher Daniels in a wrestling ring.

2) Why are there a bunch of skiers at ringside? Was this filmed in Colorado or something?

You might have twigged if you listened to the promo. The stable is going for a disaffected youth type vibe, and those are people (I'd guess students and the like) made up to be the group's 'disciples'.

3) Who is the tiny guy with the cane? Is he someone's son? His voice sounds like it's just breaking, so I presume he's about 15.

Jimmy Jacobs. He's very much like Eddie Gilbert, in the sense that he's small, works a great brawl and writes his own storylines that get over really well.

4) Is that porn star Liz Vicious in the ring?

Lacey, doing a very weird departure form her usual thing.Your posts are much funnier when you're trying to be serious, as opposed to recycling three years of ROH cliches and tired old wrestling fan misogyny and making your self look a bit of a tit.

1) Necro Butcher. Works for CZW (don't know if he still does mind)2) There was a huge build up for The Age Of The Fall through an internet blog called Project 161. The posts encouraged people to wear bandanas and ski masks to cover their faces. I assume these people were plants.3) Jimmy Jacobs, ROH wrestler.4) No, it's Lacey, ROH wrestler and manager.

Thanks for the info there, champ. Sorry to have dissed your wonderful ROH. I was trying, in a non-aggressive way, to point out that the whole thing looked a bit crap and underwhelming. I fail to see what my undoubted hatred of women (misogyny) has to do with finally giving this much hyped fed a try and being disappointed. You're much better when you stick to informing people and discussing rationally, rather than attempting to 'pwn' me.
