Hmmm... the Congress Theater? That's a pretty odd place to have a wrestling event, but whatever.

That venue will hold 200 ppl, tops. Unless they're planning on fwrestling on stage.

 

[FedEx227]

Yeah, I'm not sure what their thought is on that. If you've ever been you know what the place is like. Granted it has balconies but you aren't getting more than 200-300 people in there unless you're going to have people sitting on the stage.

GA seating on the stage, more than likely. ROH does that at Hammerstein.

 

[FedEx227]

:-/ that'd be kinda crappy. There's over 100 different, better venues in Chicago... why the hell would they chose a theater?

But whatever.

Obviously Pearce thinks AmDrag is as good as gone, because all he does is job lately.

More ROH/ECW parellels...the Tyler Black long title quest is just like the RVD storyline, and I bet just like RVD, he never ends up winning it (WWECW dosen't count, you dorks).

sidenote-American Wolves are fucking awesome. Modern day British Bulldogs, with a heel edge.

You are likely correct about ROH. It just sucks - I'm just getting into them in a real way, and they are in decline. Shitty.

I thought part of the reason Dragon was putting other guys over was that he was helping with booking and didn't want to use that to his advantage...? Wonder if AmDrag would jump to the E... I keep hearing he has an open offer from Vinnie Mac, but I really wondera bout that...

Can't believe Richards and KENTA caught hell for that match. Still my pick as MOTY to this point...

As much as I love "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived", A-Double, ROH is a shell of what it was.

Adam Pearce has completely changed the product, which, to be fair, is why Cary Silken hired him, but it's been for the worse.

Case in point...Bigpapa, you were at the Houston show where KENTA & Davey Richards tore the house down. By far the best match of the night. Well, Pearce laced into both guys after the match, because they "did too much", which I guess meant it was too hard for the main event to follow.

That's utter bullshit. In the Sapolsky era, everyone was encouraged to have the best match possible. It catered to a niche audience, but at least it was some sort of audience....the Pearce toned down, screwjob laden, "less is more" booking appeals to no one.

Sapolsky was critisized for burning out crowds with loaded shows that ran too long. But hey, I'd rather be burnt out than bored. I never felt ripped off after a Gabe show. The Pearce shows are straight up trash.

Attendance is in the toilet, they've dropped PPV, and the hardcore audience is completely turned off by the Pearce product. Mark Cuban supposedly turned them down to buy a piece of the company, so yeah, they are probably pretty much fucked.

What the fuck, Kayfabe is dead. and the boys fucking killed it.

Kayfabe has been dead for a long time. You know that.

A boy can dream, I was pissed when it happened and was not real happy about it myself. but still kept my mouth shut. could have come on here and told every one every little thing i saw. Its a respect thing. If your a Adam Pearce fan (first shoot your self) but this is the kinda thing that ruins wrestling for people (ie the fact hes a dick) but if eye who stands nothing to gain by keeping ROH backstage shit private can keep my mouth shut why cant others with much more to gain?

I hear you, man. But it's 2009. It's dead.

With that said, i'd love to hear some Pearce dirt. Don't be shy, his own guys definately aren't.

the guy that got must the shit for it and who has been buried under Pearce booking is a good friend, collateral damage. lets just say that theres alot of guys in that looker room that are not saints, and most of the worst offenders are the guys every one is marking out to today. why ruin that for people.

Lynn, Jimmy, D Lo, and Necro are still Good peoples in my book. Hero I get along with and the ROH students are some of the coolest guys around.

I bet Austin Aries is one of the guys you're talking about. He was one of the guys who had grown tired of the Sapolsky booking, and supposedly is tight with Pearce and helps with the booking.

was in the same room but never met the guy, I guess just as much my fault as his. he treated our ref good in the back if it counts for anything.

How long befor Candice Michelle shows up on a PWG show?

 

[BazookaJoe5]

TNA never ceases to amaze me. lol @ Samoa Joe helping Angle win the belt. This makes no sense at all.

Maybe they will have a good explain--wait, this is TNA I'm talking about. No, they won't. It should be funny to see the reasoning behind it though.

OMG! A swerve!

TNA is so clever.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I read the spoilers, it'll be something lame like "I gave Kurt the belt because I want to take it from him again...RAWR, I'm Samoa Joe!!"

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Have you ever seen a star killed off so fully & completely the way TNA killed off Joe?

Joe & Styles had all the momentum in the world, and TNA had a chance to make two stars for themselves, and instead they turned Styles into a goofy comedy dork and killed him, then buried Joe with the crybaby gimmick.

 

[BazookaJoe5]

On another TNA note, am I the only one who finds Daffney strangely attractive?

It's criminal what they have done to them and part of the reason I don't watch TNA much, if ever, anymore.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I stopped watching TNA a long time ago. Recently stopped DVR'ing RAW, too.

All I watch now is ECW & ROH on HDNet. I keep up with NOAH & Dragon Gate on the internet. That's it.

Life is too short to waste on shitty wrestling.
