Emma & Brandi can't even get a 5-6 minute opening match? :why:

No wonder Io won't come over & work with them. No point in flying all the way over here & getting your match pushed to youtube status when you've got bigger plans you're trying to make happen.

It's a non tournament match, it being pre-show status is fine
It is actually 2 separate tournament matches. I know the picture makes it look like a tag match.

Never the less, neither match will probably be very good so pre show works for me :skip:

Kind of a flat feeling going into this show. Jay Lethal matches are always good but him in the title match again feels tired. Same with MCMG-Briscoes.

I must be missing the boat on Matt Taven because all I hear is praise and they put him with their most over singles act on a big show, is he good brehs? I've found him tolerable in a tag team or faction setting but to warrant a match of this caliber?

Adam Page and Gordon are clearly the next big stars here IMO, both should be in the main event picture soon to freshen up those matches.

Ive always thought Taven is mad underrated in the ring. And he can talk pretty good. They need heels to go against Bullet Club, thats why hes been fukkin with Cody. I think hes done good enough lately to earn this match

Page and Gordon are both good. ROH has done realy good with building them up. They should both be in the tv title picture but i cant see them in the World Title picture any time soon but thats what i thought about Castle too so :yeshrug:. As far as who got next i like Punishment Martinez better but thats just my opinion.

ROH does a shyt job at making stars nowadays. They've had dudes like EVIL, Takahashi, Jay White, & Adam Page for years and failed to get them over


Them Motherfukkas go do one tour in Japan and turn into Superstars :snoop:

The way I see it, in 2-3 years, Page and Gordon will be the guys at the top of the card in NXT, so might as well put them there now and get the most from them. And let's be honest, the top of the ROH card needs some new blood. Who's up there now? Cody, Dalton, Jay Lethal, Matt Taven, some variation of Daniels or Kazarian, etc.

Agreed on Punishment Martinez too, definite star potential. I've just never seen ROH make a star out of a monster gimmick the way Vince has time and time again. Now, is that cuz they haven't had the right guy until now?

I think theyre starting to do bit better lately :ld:. They've done well with Flip and Martinez.


Page still wouldn't be over if he never got that Bucks stimulus pack...

I agree they need new blood in the main event for sure. Its like theyre scared to give newer guys the big opportunities

I honestly think Martinez is gonna bolt to NXT first chance he gets if they dont do something with him quick. Hunter probably eyeing him up already

Flip was a star since Day 1

Martinez has been hit or miss for me.

Thing about Martinez is that in ROH he can be the scary monster because of the size of the guys there. In NXT, he's average sized. So if he's smart, he sticks in ROH for a bit longer and gets even better in the ring working with that roster, maybe gets some Japan work, and then goes to NXT in 2-3 years as a more complete package. Only problem is hes 36 already so clock may be ticking

I only realy started stanning Martinez the last few months.

He was easily the best in that 5 way or whatever it was for the tv title at Final Battle. Should have won the belt there.

Had a World title match against Castle on TV recently and I thought he looked great and carried the whole match.

Looked fukking devastating against Soberano at Manhattan Mayhem despite a couple minor botches.


I forgot he was that old. That could definitely turn WWE off of him some.
