I've more or less always been skeptical of MJF (not sure why he's better than Miz) and think he has fallen off tremendously and I've never been a Cole guy, but aren't the Cole/MJF segments regularly the highest rated?

Yeah and mjf just started getting more tv. Aew used to book people for one segment and you’d never see them again. They’d be blaming mjf for the ratings when he only had one 6 minute segment on tv.

You legitimately cannot blame any wrestler on the roster for their bad business. They’re not on the product enough to make a real difference.

The young bucks should be blamed because they're garbage.

I don’t think so.

We know certain guys have finessed ol boy like the Bucks & Jericho and such. Omega and Mox are probably way overpaid but that’s a mix of being a money mark and keeping them away from WWE.

I think though a lot of these guys you see are on some “happy to be here” type stuff where they’re breaking their necks over hot dogs and handshakes

It’s probably a crazy looking financial iceberg

A match during tonight’s ROH TV tapings was stopped due to a possible concussion, according to a new report. PWInsider reports that Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal defeated Griff Garrison & Cole Karter in a match that ended via referee’s stoppage after Sydal hit Karter with a twisting splash. Sydal landed on Karter’s face and smashed the back of his head into the canvas, which caused the apparent concussion.

According to the report, Daniels and referee Paul Turner called for the ringside doctor and Doc Sampson came out and looked over Karter before calling for the end of the match. Karter eventually walked out after taking a long time to get out of the ring and Daniels got on the mic to put Karter over, noting that this wasn’t the way they wanted to win.

No word as of yet on Karter’s condition beyond the above.

Definitely the right thing to do. But it kind of ooi ts out the absurdity of wrestling in that a person can take 100 moves in a match that ostensibly target the head and keep wrestling but an actual blow to the head is a match ender.

More moves should be treated as high-risk high-reward and there should be less kickouts from big moves.

:mjpls:

Has Hobbs even been doing anything worth talking about since he whipped Jerichos ass? That’s around when I stopped watching.
