Nice card, Biss. I've seen a bit of Daizee Haze's stuff from Shimmer and like what I've seen so far. The main event looks like it would've been a real solid match.

Speaking of Lynn, there are some serious rumors right now that he'll win the ROH World title from McGuiness at one of the shows in Houston, most likely the first one. Nigel's arms are apparently in bad shape and he needs surgery on one or both, so he'll need some time off.

Haze is one of the nicest people i'v ever met. I think Lynns time would have been right be for the release of the wrestler,

The main event was incredibly good, JT is not well know but has done 2 tours with DDT in Japan.

Cool that Haze is nice. She's damned cute.

Yeah, it would've been great for ROH to be able to capitalize right at that point with Lynn getting the belt. I'm not sure the time would've been right for Nigel to drop it though. Now, it seems time and his arm injuries don't leave them much choice. It sounds likely that Lynn would get a shot run before dropping it to someone else. Tyler Black, maybe?

I'll have to see if I can find a bit of LaMotta stuff online.

 

[BigBiss]

Yeah Black would be ok, im not big on the fact that he cant talk. But hes danm entertianing once he gets in the ring.

I'm just guessing Black because I'm not sure who else they have in a position to take the belt off of Lynn. I can't imagine Lynn would have a long run. Unless they build up Danielson a bit quickly again and make him the first two-time ROH champion? I watched the last shoot video with Saplosky and he said Black was going to be his next champion - I know he's gone, but it does make some sense.

Nice match.

I scored free tickets to TNA Lockdown with a meet and greet with TNA wrestlers prior to the show. I'm stoked, even though the show will probably be godawful, it will totally be worth it to meet some of the TNA talent...Velvet and Angelina especially :thumbsup:

 

[Bigpapa42]

Sounds like Flair had to get a bunch of stitches after that. The camera to the face busted him open pretty good. Don't know if he bladed initially or was bleeding the hard way, but he was bleeding a lot after the camera shot.

 

[EmpireWF]

Flair was opened up hardway, at least that's how I saw it. It's not like his forehead is too difficult to open up. lol

I'm still not anticipating the Piper/Snuka/Steamboat v. Jericho WM match. If it were Steamboat by his lonesome, then sure, but what the hell are Piper/Snuka going to add to it? (this coming from a huge Piper fan)

I may have already said this, but if I didn't have tickets and plans months ago, the card of this WM would not be inspiring me to go to Houston. We've got one match that's almost certain to be entertaining, which is Undertaker-Michaels. Another which has had a good buildup and should be at least a solid match, but has been so many times before in Triple H-Orton. The Hardy's match could go any direction, as could the Cena-Edge-Big Show match. The Divas battle royal will be a cluster fuck but at least fun to look at. The MITB match has potential, but I just don't get why guys like Kane and Mark Henry are in there - I just see the working out badly.

As for the Jericho match, I can't see it being anything more than painful to watch. There's only one possibly outcome, which is legends winning and Jericho getting a "lesson". Which is going to be awesome, because its going to make one of the WWE's best heels look like ass, getting beat up by a bunch of geriatrics. Good booking, E.

 

[EmpireWF]

I have this awful image in my head of Jericho getting his ass kicked by Steamboat/Piper/Snuka (Snuka can barely move at all), then Flair coming in and locking on the figure four....then Mickey Rourke of all people hitting him with a punch for the pinfall.

Rourke is so yesterday lol

Its a "feel good" angle that's a big waste of time and has no good end game. Jericho can't win or he looks "right" and the fans would hate that. He loses, even if its 5-on-1, and he looks like a joke. This isn't some midcard guy - he's a main event heel who was the best worker in the company in 2008, a champion for part of the year, and had the main storyline through the summer and fall.

My guess is that after the legends get the win, Flair gets revenge with a figure four, then Rourke does his diving headbutt. What a fucking waste of Chris Jericho.

ADDENDUM on the subject of Jericho vs. The WWE Legends:

Nice match.

Sapolsky had Black pegged as his next champ from the day he brought him into ROH. Same goes for McGuinness, who was told almost two years prior that he would be champion. Sapolsky was the last of the old school bookers who actually planned things out further than next week.

They may give Lynn a short transition run, but at the end of the day, Black will be champ. Houston should be interesting next weekend. I can't wait.

Jericho can always cheat though... not in the "har har, wink wink-nudge nudge" way that we expect from Flair or Piper but in a heel way.

...Jericho has to lose though for this feud to pay off though, unless Flair can finagle a trade up for three of his dudes for a mystery opponent of their choosing.

Jericho agrees thinking that the odds will be in his favor seeing as it's a one-on-one match then and then we get the rumored Jericho/Austin match we've heard about for weeks.

I wonder if McGuiness is in as bad a shape as the rumors say. We could see a title change next weekend if its true.

Really looking forward to getting to see KENTA and Nakajima. And Danielson and Koslov. And sorta wanting to see WM... Sorta...

Even if Jericho cheats to win, he's still winning. Its still justifying everything he's been claiming. Its only be a good idea if they were setting up another match, as you said. From what I've heard, though, the WWE doesn't have Flair booked beyond WM. So that chances of the storyline continuing seem slim.

My thought is why not when it comes to proving Jericho right?

It's shitty to think about when most older fans (and I came in a little before Undertaker fighting bums like Giant Gonzales...) fondly remember Piper and Snuka and Flair paving the way for all the guys we see today BUT...

Honestly, this feud is for all us Old-Heads and those who've went back and caught up on the old-school matches.

All the new fans are about Jeff Hardy and Cena fighting the bad guys; and even worse, there's a section of fans missing from the "WWF Attitude" days that have moved on from watching wrestling so we don't even have The Rock fans anymore really.

I'd fear more about that then Jericho pinning a bunch of old guys looking for a paycheck...

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

What a fucking waste of Chris Jericho.

Thats what ive been saying.. what an insult to your best performer at the biggest stage of the year.

 

[FedEx227]

Thats what ive been saying.. what an insult to your best performer at the biggest stage of the year.

Have we pretty much all accepted the fact that Jericho will likely get his ass kicked? Badly. Just so we can have a "Woo" fest with JR raving about the legends of past.

What a shame.

 

[BigBiss]

Any one keeping up with King of Trios?

Besides my boys from st louis laying a egg looks like a pretty epic weekend.
