Jay Lethal & "The Sicilian Psychopath" Tommaso Ciampa

I thought this boring garbage was over.

 

[The Great One]

I'ma be honest. This looks horrible.

And Steen is winning easily, especially with that gay stipulation that this was Richards last shot at Steen's title.

 

[CM_Burns]

I haven't followed ROH in a while but this looks good imo. Finlay vs Elgin and the main event should be good.

 

[OGJOHNNY5]

looks wack.

i'll catch the Homicide and the All Night Express matches, ill pass on the no sell strong style steen/richards shyt.

People need to stop pretending ROH is terrible. It's objectively false.

No it has been for a long time, interest has waned, web traffic to their website is down, live attendance is down (they have stopped running in MANY different cities) and their business has dropped. It started before Strong got the belt, but it continued and tanked since then. They are still easily profitable but have a smaller margin for mistakes.

So you can say whatever you want, but it's wrong. They have a few bright spots here in there but that's it.

I never said anything about ROH being as good as it used to be. I said it isn't terrible, and objectively, it isn't.

Actually, the product is a lot better than it was around '08-'09, even though I don't remember the criticism being nearly as strong during that period. They'll likely never touch their run from '05-'06 again, but such is life.

Business being down really doesn't mean much either, because business is relatively poor throughout the entire industry.

 

[StatUS]

I've been trying to watch the tv shows leading up to this. They're awful and just not intresting.

I'll watch the show but man what the hell did Cornette do

Did you WATCH post-Gabe '08-'09 ROH? You know, the early days of Adam Pearce? The days of Ric Flair appearances, fukk finishes, Jerry Lynn: World Champion and destroying Tyler Black's momentum?

Really, the only good thing happening during that time was the Steenerico/American Wolves feud. Just an awful time period.

 

[Black Thunder]

fukk 04-06 was rohs best period

obviously dragon as champ was when roh was at its best

them nikkas was drawing houses in canada and europe and even did decent in japan if i remember
