The General Wrestling Thread

Show ended up being pretty good.

SWAMP CREATURE

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Tag match was good...obviously the big payoff is Gargano v. Chucky T...should be fun.
Ricochet and Generico delivered...was a fine match.
I don't often dig Cannonball Sami, but I liked the match. Obviously the match set up to that big spot where Fox jumped over the ladder...but it was better than the stuff on the first half of the show and was used to put over AR Fox.

Low Ki on commentary was insanely brutal. Swamp Creature needs to be involved more often.

I don't know what to think of the show as a whole...some "good"...some "boring"...nothing jumps out as a winner, but nothing was offensive outside of the openers (they really need to go with something people give a shit about in the openers, I nearly fell asleep watching Man Scout and Kaleb Konley...holy fuck was that match against the two geeks after them a snoozer). Honestly, I was falling asleep during Finlay and Davis, too. *shrugs*

I kinda enjoyed Low Ki and his SUPER SERIOUS commentary. He said all the things my old man used to say when he would watch wrestling with me...."He should go for a cover instead of goofing off with the crowd!"....."He's not going to beat this man using those fancy maneuvers!".

Low Ki is visual melatonin at this point. If he's boring and super serious on purpose...opposite effect of what I'm looking for. Holy shit, I'm over Low Ki. This guy is going to make a Ricochet match into something that would look like Dick the Bruiser versus The Crusher.

Looks like Bobby Fish, Scott Reed (the other geek from The Scene), and Rich Swann are still in the Gabe doghouse for missed bookings. Fish & Reed failed to get their visa situation straightened out before EVOLVE 11 in Toronto, and were stopped at the border. Swann missed his flight to California for DGUSA Open the Golden Gate. None of them were booked for either of these EVOLVE shows in North Carolina.

AR Fox was stopped at the border and missed EVOLVE 11 too, but he was booked this weekend. Odd. Probably because he's getting a big push, but then again so was Fish.

Swann may actually be in Japan right now for Dragon Gate, come to think of it.

1st time they ever fought.

If only Spike signed ROH instead of shitty TNA...

What is happening here?

Fighting the SWAMP CREATURE!?!?

Did Fit Finlay really work last night's EVOLVE show then fly up to Toronto for tonight's show to fight Roddy?

The man is a beast.

Also, heard the iPPV had problems A-GAIN.

Whoever is advising The Rock needs to advise him to stop doing these shitbag movies. His resume is awful.

Unless the end game is just to bank as much as possible. If that's the case, carry on.

He's not doing it for the art. It's all about the benjamins ... same reason why you see Rachel McAdams doing nothing but romantic comedies.

Yup, problems AGAIN.

People had problems ordering, and then it cut off at the main event.

They are offering free replays and the next PPV for free.

What's funny, is Lenny Leonard opened the EVOLVE PPV tonight by saying "Welcome to EVOLVE 12, live on crystal clear iPPV on wwnlive.com!"

ROH really needs to go and hire themselves someone that can do what Gabe did to set up their own WWNLive...seriously, hemanthejava or whatever his name here at VSN could do it for them for Christ's sake.

I mean, this is THREE pay per views in a row...that is unacceptable on all levels as a consumer, regardless of how they make it up to you.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Honestly, I know they were super pissed at Go Fight Live after the Showdown in the Sun debacle, but they should have just stuck with them. I wouldnt have tolerated a second fuck up, but GFL was always reliable to that point and handles wrestling, boxing, and MMA shows almost daily. They know what they are doing.

The amazing thing to me, is ROH is owned by a fucking broadcasting company! I mean, how can a professional broadcasting company not have the resources to properly handle what amounts to a live stream? stealthshot streams his fucking Golden Sombrero games on justin.tv with less issues.

Brian Kendrick replaces Richards in the Super Juniors Tourney.
