Balee is too close to Bayley for comfort. I will not stand besmirching Bayley's good name by association with a goober like Roman Reigns.

That's disappointing, but 8k for traditional PPV isn't terrible, though I know they did better in May. It's honestly a combo of Jay Briscoe being a total non-draw and the bloom being off of ROH a bit

DC has The Spectre who, while criminally underused, it still one of my favourites ever. Marvel have The Punisher who, while entirely overused and ruined in the modern era, is badass. DC wins, but just barely. They also have Lobo.
Given the jacked up prices you had to pay for DVDs after shipping back when ROH was 'good', relative to whomever. More speaking for me. You were used to paying more for ROH because you wanted to watch it. And that was when WWE was pretty watchable.
Frankly, I think people aren't buying it because their roster's not that great and their events aren't either. I think NJPW is eating their lunch when it comes to an alternative for US/EU hardcore wrestling fans. And they should.

Shit, I could've told you that 5 years ago!
Though the fallout from the WWE Network is hilarious, considering the intial outbursts from production companies varied wildly from WWN's 'We want to support more devices and provide as much live content as possible to SMV's 'They're like Walmart! Our product is still better! Check out our awesome DVD-R's!'
That doesn't even make sense. Survivor Series did MORE actual buys even though the PPV was free that month with the Network. And people buying ROH PPVs likely aren't the kind of people who just come across it and think, "Wow, a wrestling show. I should buy that. But wait, I can get all WWE shows for $9.99 a month. This surely isn't worth it.".

Instead of fighting PWG . ROH should bite the bullet and work with them.

Agreed on both accounts. Plus, ROH hasn't exactly been the top draw for talent since being bought out by Sinclair and neither have they been in a position to secure the best talent available, as they did in previous years - if you're into indie wrestling, there are a lot of alternatives out there who put on quality shows that rival ROH. I watch the TV and buy the iPPVs usually, but most of my indie money goes on PWG, SMASH, Beyond & AIW these days.
I haven't seen it, but I'm incredulous as to how anyone could fuck up a character as simple as Lobo. Badass bounty hunter, near immortal, kind of a dick.

I don't agree with it either. If people want to buy it, they'll buy it. And they need to get their technical shit locked down for iPPV. I couldn't watch half the show because it kept cutting out.
They went for the tumblr demo
ROH legit sucks. If you're going to watch indie wrestling for that stupid indie style with spot spot spot spot spot holy shit this is crazy, I have no idea why anyone would pick ROH over PWG. The shows are hotter, the matches are crazier, ROH talents are better in PWG (since forever), announcing is better, and somehow the complete lack of production values looks better than all the effort ROH has put into improving the production vaules.

Of course. Cure is the corporate chosen one for the GAFfiverse. He bought in.
Me, on the other hand, I walk alone!
Mother fucker, I will fight you. Exclusively at HoH's next awful IPPV. Step ladder match. BE THERE.

It's weird how many bookings AJ gets even though New Japan won't let him lose. Every time I see "AJ Styles vs.", I know AJ will either win or be DQ'ed or something. The match will be good, but the finish is never really in doubt.
Just a samoan boy
Born and raised in west Pensacola
He took the rocket train goin' anywhere
A wrestler in a smoky room

One will win, all others will lose

That might not be a New Japan thing and moreso a 'Fuck you I'm AJ Styles, I'm not jobbing' thing
And ya like Serp says, he's definitely a draw. CZW's anniversary show with him on it did COD level attendance
You're never right! \o/

Nah. New Japan has told all the indies that they can book him under the concession that he cannot lose. Same thing they did with Okada, Tanahashi, and Nakamura when they did the shows with ROH, They have a strict no-job policy for their top guys.
Macho Madness
Member
Yep. And from what we heard, it pissed off Steen. Steen didn't know about that policy and was unhappy to lose to Nakamura.
Fuckin' mark.
Bayley? That's strange. I've never heard this name before. Probably because it belongs to someone unimportant (aka jobber or expendable).
Unlike Roman Reigns, megastar, superstar, shining star, heir apparent, birthed from the loins of Zeus himself.
Which is hilarious. Bitch, you're Kevin Steen and he's Nakamura. It's insulting to Nakamura to even be in the ring with you Tom Arnold looking mother fucker.
BronsonLee
Member
As well they should. There is 0 reason for any of their top guys to lose.
Good, fucking Steen stop being a goob

It was less about jobbing to Nakamura and more about doing back-to-back jobs. He lost clean to Cole and Nakamura on back-to-back weekends. He didn't mind jobbing to either individually. He just didn't like losing two weeks in a row on two of their biggest shows.

Makes sense. Simply being in little rinky dink promotions is one thing, you don't want your champ jobbing in them on top of that.
ROH guys have their chance to pick up Ws when NJPW only sends over Iizuka and Taichi this year

He was leaving! Did he expect to win the title or beat Nakamura? Neither were gonna happen
Shit, I'm still laughing at how he didn't put Silas over on the way out!
