Re: NWK Reviews Ring of Honor Round Robin Challenge
Reading your reviews and then using my own hindsight, it's kind of interesting to try to pick apart what segments seem like Gabe trying to take guys that Rob wanted booked and use them in a way Gabe felt would be productive That actually explains the overexposure of guys like Da Hit Squad quite a b...

Re: BRM Reviews the 10/17/2018 NXT (well... that was frustrating)
Anyway, Nikki rolls around while the fans chant that “NIKKI’S GOT A SECRET!” Aleister demands that Nikki tell him, so she worms her way over to him… and whispers in this ear. The fans were NOT happy about this, and neither was I. We not only got non-finishes in BOTH parts of the heavily-hyped “doub...

Re: CM Punk & Seth Rollins vs Antonio Cesaro & Kassius Ohno - NXT 10.17.12
I miss this Kassius Ohno... I miss the KoW. I feel like they spent the majority of their ROH career wrestling the same three teams, so to see them in a place with a roster as expansive as WWE teaming together would've actually been magic. Kind of, but that's because they only teamed together for tw...

Re: ROH vs SCUM: How to do an "invasion" angle right
While it was done right from a technical point of view, I think it's important to note how poor certain choices Delirious made were: particularly the use of Cliff Compton and Mike Mondo. Both sucked and never should have been in the company, and using them as featured players here was a poor idea. ...

ROH vs SCUM: How to do an "invasion" angle right
So I just recently watched ROH's "ROH vs SCUM" 3 Disc DVD release, and wanted to expand upon what they did right, and compare how other invasion angles messed it up The motivations and objectives of the invading group are clear [/b] This one goes without saying., or at least you'd think so...

Did you know: Sting
Actually came up with the name before The Police's Sting did, and so as a result musician Sting pays wrestler Sting money to use the name? Don't worry though, wrestler Sting only makes musician Sting pay a cent a year for it

Re: Did you know: The Hart Dynasty
Yes. There is an excellent story about Barry Windham politely trying to explain to Teddy that it was disrespectful to use Windham's Superplex finisher as a nearfall in their match because he was going ot be wrestling later that night, with Teddy responding by trying to explain to Barry that his Sup...

Re: BRM Reviews the 10/10/2018 NXT (COLE VS. DUNNE VS. RICOCHET!)
Unfortunately, even the editing couldn’t hide the fact that Ricochet was late breaking up the pin in the finishing sequence, so this winds up as a 9.75. I watched the match after reading this, with an eye out for that spot. It actually sort of looked like Adam Cole squirmed out of the pin, or at le...

If it was then they wouldn't feel any need to acknowledge #GiveDivasAChance because not giving them a chance would be part of this natural progression of theirs.

I don't want or need every other sentence to either be some tidbit from someone's background, or some comment about "what this opportunity means to X/dreams/sappy bullsh*t/whatever." Average WWE fans are stupid. You need to bludgeon them with the babyface is, especially if it's someone th...

Wrestled at a WWE house show in Calgary in 1996. Teddy Hart and TJ Wilson, the future Tyson Kidd wrestled Harry Smith and an unknown named Andrew Bacarnia Teddy Hart and TJ were 16 years old, and Harry Smith was a mere 11 years old! This was done as a tribute to Teddy Hart's brother Andrew, who had ...

My thoughts on the new member of LIJ (and critiquing CHAOS)
Amidst all the talk of who the new guy in LIJ will be, with people speculating it will be someone from outside the promotion, all I can think is "I hope it's someone from CHAOS defecting" CHAOS is by far my least favorite New Japan faction. It's so frontloaded with main eventers that the m...

Re: NWK Reviews the Era of Honor Begins
I don't remember about this show in particular (I don't think she had been part of CSC's act before ROH but I could be wrong), but she was definitely referred to as the "*censored* hag" on later shows and within two shows she'll try to make out with Simply Luscious Also, keep in mind that...
