What a crazy last few weeks I had...I went to:
-Both nights of the first ROH on HDNet tapings in Philly
-Night one of the CHIKARA King Of Trios in Philly
-ROH 7th Anniversary in NYC
-ROH "Supercard of Honor" in Houston
I saw Biss walking around at the Houston show, but never managed to introduce myself. Didn't see bpapa, even though he promised to be easy to spot.
The KENTA/Davey Richards match would have been a MOTY contender if it didn't have that weird (botched?) finish. KENTA is KENTA, but Davey really has come into his own. He's one of the 10 best wrestlers in the world IMO.
Now that I live in Texas, looks like no more ROH shows for me. It was great living in Jersey, right between Philly & NYC...so easy to hit up all the major ROH shows & lots of other indy's.
Biss, you gotta help me out with the Texas scene. I'm in Bryan/College Station, right near A&M. Hit me up with ANYTHING within a 2 hour drive or so...any Lucha come up this far north?
I loved the ROH show on Friday. Better than WM or Raw by far, in terms of the wrestling. I loved the KENTA-Richards match. Easily the best match I've ever seen, though I did really like the HBK-Undertaker match at WM.Comment

Kemp Texas is the closes show to you but your going to be far from what your use to.
How far is Austin? we may be your best hope. every one in texas is hung up on being the next WCCW... and that ship has sailed.
Did you catch the pre show matches? id be interested in what you thought.Comment

Do you ever watch shimmer and as a canuck what are your thoughts on nattieComment

Same facial expressions all the time and just not attractive enough to be a top WWE diva.
I'm sorry, but it matters.
When Maryse is in the ring and wearing white gear (yes white gear), I can't take my eyes off her. And I like her arrogance (sorry Rick Martel). It works on a WWE level.
Nattie/Natalya Neidhart bores me. Same evil laugh/smile as her dad, but 1/10th the charisma.My Twitch video link: http://www.twitch.tv/dave374000

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Nattie.

Hot chicks can still Valet and be on TV , do photo shoots the whole nine yards, leave the wrestling to Beth,Mickie,Malina,Nattie,Gail ... that crowd.Comment

unless its El Paso you dont want Texas Lucha.

Pretty hard to judge based on their opponents. All Redwood does is the chop gimmick, and Luke is 100 years old and can barely move.
No Larry Sweeney was hard to accept. He was in Houston, I saw him hanging around outside. Hope he gets his problems worked out.Comment

Thats cool, i guess im to much of a wrestling purest, I really dont understand why natural valets have to be wrestlers, both are god awful fundamentally, Thrish and Malena seem to be the only models that have really learned to work.

I've seen enough Shimmer and such to know that there are womens wrestlers out there with a ton of talent who can really work a match. A lot of them don't look like models and that's why they will never get into the WWE as things currently stand. But honestly, I'd rather see those kind of womens wrestlers in the WWE than some pretty attractive (with the exception of Maryse and Kelly Kelly, I don't find most of the Diva's exceptionally attractive) ladies who can't really wrestler at all.Comment
