Jay Briscoe

Wait.....what?

[EmpireWF]

Where you been?

[s@ppisgod]

I haven't kept up with ROH in about 6 months. But....Jay Briscoe? Really? Did he catch fire or what?

He beat Steen at WrestleMania weekend. They did the emotional "surprise win" gimmick, and it got over very well.

Not sure it has any legs, especially since ROH is owned by a corporate entity and it only took Briscoe a couple of weeks to say something really stupid on twitter. But the pin was a great moment.

My little luchador

The ROH TV taping was pretty fun. They put on a really good show. Every match went at least 10 minutes. I was shocked that they let the enhancement talent have an opportunity to go out there and really make a name for themselves. A guy named Adam Page looked really impressive against Adam Cole. I'll do a more in depth review tomorrow morning.

FF to 1:50

How have i never seen this?

[EmpireWF]

I was there on the side of the hard camera (the opposite side of where the powerbomb happened). Live, it literally looked like the craziest thing I've ever seen. Didn't notice that moments before, a large group of the ROH Students took over the section and broke their fall.

Still, wild.

[SuperKevin]

Certainly no spots like that last night at the TV taping

so since I have essentially given on the current product from anything but promotions in Japan, I decided to round out my WCW collection a bit. I have a lot of random matches, a few PPVs from the pre-Bischoff era, some from the NWO heyday, and a lot from the 99-and-later period. Ended up finding a pretty slick non-torrent way to get almost everything. All the PPVs, Nitro, Thunder, etc. Its a lot more than what I was planning and I'm starting to run low on storage space for all of this.

Its sad that I would rather watch a WCW event from 99 or 2000 than current WWE or TNA, but ther it is.

Why?

Evolve
DGUSA
CHIKARA
PWG

All putting out a great product.

[Bigpapa42]

Good point. I should have said "bigger promotions on TV". I will watch DGUSA, PWG, etc. I have honestly never really got into Chikara. I will even still watch ROH, though I don't go out of my way. Just doesn't feel like those replace the hours of weekly viewing that would typically go into WWE and TNA...

[Leftwich]

Really enjoyed the Ambrose vs Kingston match.

[IamMedellin]

Really enjoyed the Ambrose vs Kingston match.

yeah, I enjoyed it as well... pretty big reaction when Ambrose got the pin, sux they buried Kofi to where they almost knew he didnt have a chance

[Leftwich]

Someone needs to find a gif of Sheamus tripping Mark Henry. That was comedy gold.
