I'm not saying he will be the next of any guy. I'm saying we don't know and that whether he succeeds or fails has zero to do with his height or weight.

Height may not matter. But, Rollins, Punk, and Bryan all look like they're in relatively good shape (insert skinny fat joke) while Steen, while he looks better, still looks like a chubby guy working a shift at Home Depot. Remember, Chris Hero got shit for his physique in developmental, and he had friends.

Surfer Sting

The absolute worst.

The NES WCW game was pretty good, I've never played this one though.

Eh, we'll see. Mojo Rawley and Bo Dallas seem to be doing alright.

 

[Data West]

I mean, I hope Steen works out just to spite Davey Richards and Cornette who said Steen was lazy.

 

[Macho Madness]

"The Look", Nepotism, and neither has done shit yet.

Mojo also got geeked out on the last NXT show.

 

[Striker]

Rollins doesn't belong in that company yet. The verdict is still out on him.
Hopefully the Ambrose feud pays dividends for both guys but I'm not terribly optimistic.
Landing the briefcase next weekend could help.

I feel like winning the MitB and Royal Rumble these days mean nothing. Edge was the last guy who won the briefcase and have it actually matter. The last Rumble winner that helped elevate somebody and them capitalizing on it was... probably Batista in 2005. Could have done more for Rey but outside the Mania match they didn't give him a decent run.

The last person the briefcase elevated you could say was Bryan.

Who they were planning to be the first ever to lose until Mark Henry got injuried.

This phone is dogshit. Can't connect to data so can only access internet via wifi. Battery life is atrocious. Is stuck at Android 2.2.2. You can update to ICS via PC (which I don't have a cable for anyway), but everything I've read says it kills the phone and makes a ton of running apps that kill your already pathetic battery life. It's really not even better than a flip phone, because with the flipper, I have unlimited data and can tether it to old iPhone or tablet where ever I'm at. It does have a dope screen though.

 

[Macho Madness]

until <someone> got injuried.

story of that guy's wwe career

 

[Sblargh]

I'll watch the RoH iPPV. If it sucks, I expect Alucard to refund me the money.

 

[Data West]

Mark Henry put over Bryan huge though. Made him look amazing by actually selling for him and letting him get the better of him multiple times.

 

[Striker]

The last person the briefcase elevated you could say was Bryan.

He went from midcard to upper midcard. It elevated him the same way it elevated Jack Swagger or CM Punk (at the time). It didn't keep them in that spot long term, like it did when Edge won it, cashed in on Cena and was a staple of the main event for a long period of time. Instead, he had a short WHC run and few months later was in a tag team role.

 

[tm24]

I hope this happens now too. I would laugh for ages

 

[strobogo]

Well I rode 20 miles again today, even though I stopped and didn't think I was going to get to 20. I found out that's how far I went after I got home. But now I have so much to catch up on. A bunch of shit on the Network. I think 3 episodes of Total Divas. GoT season finale. My care box for Bronson. Continuing to read The Sandman. But all I particularly want to do is dunk on fools with MJ and Pippen.

 

[MC Safety]

This is not the reunion you want.

This is the reunion you deserve.

Alright. It's a deal. I guarantee at least 2 4-star matches.

 

[Sblargh]

No sound coming off the Ustream iPPV.

 

[Lambda Pie]

No sound coming off the Ustream iPPV.

it's a ROH PPV. better get used to it.

 

[dream]

Holy shit, this "Michael Elgin" is hilarious indie in every way, from his name, to his interview ability, to his terrible look.

 

[British Monsoon]

No sound, my temporary laptop's an utter piece of shit and the ROH logo on the Ustream player covers up the full screen button on mobile. Fuck. I'll watch this in the morning.

 

[Alucard]

Are you guys getting a pre-show or something?

Nothing yet on my television.

"Mandy Leon" is wasting her time in pro wrestling when she could have an average career as a ring card girl for Showtime Shobox.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Edge lost the belt after 3 weeks and didn't get put back into the title picture for a long time. I don't remember exactly, but didn't he win his second title because Anderson/Kennedy got injured and had to give up his brief case? I suppose the fact that he defeated The Undertaker cemented his main event status. But not the first cash in.

 

[strobogo]

Lol, ROH having production issues? No way.

 

[dream]

Speaking of "Mandy Leon," wtf@spindashing

wrestling fans who turn their wrestling fandom into a gimmick are the worst.

 

[strobogo]

She looks like Layla, Tamina, and a Bella had a wild night with that super pretty mug shot guy.

 

[Sblargh]

Does everyone in the world cuts promos like Randy Orton? Is this an inside joke?

I really miss people angry, pointing at the camera and screaming.

Instead.... of talking... hehe... like this... pause for heel smile.

 

[Lambda Pie]

imagine Scott Norton if Norton had leukemia.

that's Elgin.

God what an astute description of this joe.

The "talent" they're showcasing on this pre-show is making me seriously reconsider watching this nonsense. What say you, Heel?

 

[Alucard]

HERE WE GO.

This opening montage is good shit. I'm psyched.

He feuded with Foley after that and then intervened with Triple H and Cena prior to the ECW show where helped RVD win (and would win the title shortly after).

Even when he formed Rated RKO with poops in bags, it was still a major story because it centered around the top talent on the show.

 

[strobogo]

Elgin is garbage. If he's one of the top guys on the indies right now, the indies are dead.

 

[Alucard]

Holy shit. These production values...already better than anything they've had on TV recently.

 

[dream]

What, could they not afford Don West for this show?

 

[Johnny Ryall]

Holy shit. These production values...already better than anything they've had on TV recently.

Big screen opposite hard cam is a nice touch.

 

[Heel]

Honestly, I'm tempted to watch just to see Kevin Stein's heartfelt attempt to reason with indie wrestling fans who don't understand why he isn't "doing it for the love."

The thing is, to do that I'd have to watch Ring of Honor.

 

[Sblargh]

Production values are good. I could live without this commentary.

 

[FallingEdge]

That's how it usually is with ROH these days

You sound like a guy who needs some Bobby Roode.

ACH being his favourite hardy boy was funny two months ago. Get some new material.

 

[dream]

lol@ROH having a TV title

the syndicated champion of the world

 

[serenewarfare]

I'm hoping this show goes well for ROH. Anything positive that could leverage them into a possible Spike TV deal would be fine with me.

dream, did you give Ring of Honor money?

 

[FallingEdge]

watch a bit of GLORY this morning. that was terribly boring and bad. would rather watch UFC or IWA. you guys lied about it being entertaining

 

[plagiarize]

Yeah. Something has to replace TNA.

 

[Johnny Ryall]

Definitely. TNA is on free TV in the uk and I'd still rather pay for this ippv than watch that pish.

 

[dream]

I refuse to answer this question.

I'm sorry you don't like men's sports.

 

[Vylash]

This match is so sloppy, this commentary is shit

 

[Johnny Ryall]

I really like ACH. Needs a new ring name mind you.
