Some info on the ROH PPV deal;

ROH’s PPV’s will air on inDemand, Dish and Direct TV. The PPV providers approached ROH as well as several other groups such as Bellator and Glory MMA promotions, to fill their schedules with the absence of WWE, with them already finished with Direct TV and expected to conclude with others in the coming months.

The deal is said to be not as expensive as other PPV deals as ROH doesn’t have high running costs, however Sinclair will be making the necessary production investments ahead of the show.

The PPV is not seen as make-or-break, as any money they lose Sinclair can recoup without much issue, but to break even they are looking for 10,000 buys. The hope within the company is that even if they don’t reach that figure, that It’ll make enough noise so that more fans start following the product so that they can surpass it for their second PPV, Final Battle, which takes place later this year.

I'm not sure how their previous run on PPV did, but 10,000 seems a bit ambitious. At least Sinclair are finally going to put the money in to improve production. Also, I hope these PPVs are offered via Ustream as well, otherwise that'll suck for international viewers.

Not posting full spoilers, but the 8 Divas for tournament is not as exciting as I wanted :/


  • Sasha Banks
  • Bayley
  • Natalya
  • Layla
  • Charlotte
  • Emma
  • Alexa Bliss
  • Alicia Fox
The lineup (with at least three main roster Divas) makes less sense when, as JBL took the belt of Paige because she is not on NxT to defend enough.

It's pretty weird that house shows count when JBL is telling Paige that she'll have to defend her Divas belt all over the world but they don't count when the main roster announcer team are arguing about how rarely Dean Ambrose defends his US belt.

I think of Yujiro as Val Venis. Porny gimmick, works fine, won't be a main event talent ever.

Same here, but he could definitely be doing a lot more than he currently is. He doesn't even get picked often as a tag partner - Shinsuke goes with Ishii, Yano tags with Iizuka and Okada picks YOSHI for some reason.

Yujiro's best work is his theme music. So goddamn good.

Damn Memphis is up 2-1 on OKC. ATL up IND on 2-1.

Still not as pathetic as my Rockets.

The complete melt down of the Pacers after the All Star break is the worst thing to happen to Indiana sports fans since the Malice at the Palace. It's baffling how they be playing so well and now are playing equally as bad.

I don't think Gaves looks depressed, but Condit has the 1000 yard stare of a man who spends his days going through the motions and thinking of ways he can get himself killed and still make it look like an accident so he won't hurt his family as much. All that guy wants to do is curl up in his bed and let the world pass him by.

He should just come out and lean on that post for a 10-second count out and walk back up the ramp like the badass leaning mofo he is.

Dude looks like every 90s stereotype of the "bad boy in high school".

He doesn't play by the rules. Not even his own rules.

Looks like he's got the rules written on his jacket, just in case he needs to check to see if he is (or isn't) breaking said rules.

I guess they didn't want to debut like four new women at once. They're losing Paige and Emma, Summer Rae is pretty much done on NXT, so they have a grand total of four NXT Divas on TV now that Alexa Bliss is debuting.

This summer is gonna need some new blood.

So there is a thread about things non gamers say that piss you off. To be honest not much. I just feel, relatively speaking, games are much more accepted these days.

Wrestling on the other hand. Still tough to be a fan.This community should not be taken for granted.

Graves will be a legit star. There needs to be more than just military fetishes for "alternative" tumblr types. Graves will set their underwear on fire.

Because the way the Usos try to say it is stupid, and until the shirt spelled it out phonetically, it was hard to even understand how they wanted it said.

OOO-SO is superior pronunciation. #seriousshit

So not worth it

To be fair, when you put US - O on a shirt, people are either gonna say "us" "oh" or "U" "ES" "OH"!

Don't get me wrong, I don't stoop low and say... "OH I WOULD NEVER WATCH THAT!"

I own up to it. Hell, every once in awhile I get a casual fan, or people who grew up with it and they kinda geek out for a bit.

Many just don't get it and judge it for something that it's not.

This is how I deal with it, really. I don't really have any shame for watching wrestling in 2014, and why would I? Sometimes you'll get the whole, "It's fake so that's why I don't watch it" bit.

Aiii

So not worth it
"Why are you watching half naked men rub up against eachother?"

"Don't you know it's fake?"

Are the two absolute worst things people ask. Yes, movies are also fake and you watch those too don't you? And the first one, what kind of homophobic shit is that? Aside from the fact there's also half naked women rubbing up against each other, why does it even matter?

Yeah and I actually find that if it comes up in conversation and you do geek out over it, people seem to relate to it. That seems to be the case with any kind of subject though in my experience.

Awesome metal bar in my town is run by a wrestling geek and has cheap whiskey. It's the best bar in the world.
