I want AEW to let The Hurt Syndicate bring back Lashley's White Boy Summer.
Just give us a few straight months of Shelton & Lashley destroying yakubians each week like the Hon. Bro. Koko B. Ware did here:
:ohlawd:

Perry Saturn definitely used this as inspiration. :damn:

During a recent interview with Fightful, ROH wrestler Shane Taylor discussed multiple topics, including the ROH title scene, Ring of Honor returning to the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and more. Below are some highlights from Fightful:

Shane Taylor on ROH’s return to Hammerstein Ballroom: “It’s a homecoming. For someone who shocked the world five years ago to win the Ring of Honor Television Championship, World Television Championship, to be the only third black male in the company’s almost 20+ year history to do that. It’s incredible and to now, here we are, Final Battle 2024, back at the Hammerstein. It really does give you that feel, that Ring of Honors headed back to where it should be, and that is the birthplace of innovation, the birthplace of producing badass events and badass pro wrestling.”

On how Ring of Honor beforehand felt like a destination: “To me, it’s just been par for the course. This is what I do. This is what we do this is what we’ve always done and that is put Ring of Honor at the forefront and continue to make sure that we are one of the most felt presences in ROH, that we will be respected and we will do anything and everything we have to do in order to make sure that people understand that. I think the difference though, right? Ring of Honor prior, felt like a destination. Ring of Honor had a reputation and its champions had a reputation of proving we are the best night in and night out.”

On how Ring of Honor champions used to stand for something: “Whether that be just in a ROH ring or it be outside an ROH ring, even on the independents, Ring of Honor champions stood for something. Ring of Honor championships stood for something. Now, I feel like outside of a few champions like a Lee Moriarty or like an Athena, like a Red Velvet. Ring of Honor championships are passed around like participation trophies.”

Schiavone on Wednesday:
Oh no folks, Hangman Adam Page has been injured at the hands of the Death Riders and will not be able to compete at the ppv. Will it be a triple threat or will someone else step up and take his place?

I honestly hate this trend with subscriptions to add little by little of the back catalog, instead of lump summing it to get more bang of the buck :francis: . I hated it with IMPACT Plus, I hated it with NJPW World, currently hating it with Wrestle Universe, and I hated it with the WWE Network at the time.

Its basically treating the fanbase like whores, and the service like the pimp. Reminds me of Game Pass and the Call of Duty hype. Only to find out that they didn't have all the CODs, except the most recent ones.

I get it, business 101, but the shyt is becoming redundant as hell.
