Question to anyone on WrestleGAF that has actually ordered an ROH PPV from Gofight live. How is their video quality usually? I'm not expecting a 720p stream from them but is it at least watchable if I put it out on a 32in screen? My Roku box just added them to their available channels and the Tag Title match is looking too good to pass up for $15

Yeah, it's obviously not the best quality, a bit lower than DVD, but it looks fine on my 26in TV via the PC.

IF ROH would just increase their production values it would be great. These hype videos are making me want to start watching it, but last time I watched I saw then fighting in what looked like a school gym and had to turn it off.

 

[British Monsoon]

I'll never understand letting a crappy venue get in the way of watching awesome wrestling, because outside of WWE & TNA it's nothing but school gyms, national guard armouries and bingo halls, with the occasional show at somewhere like the Hammerstein Ballroom or Centre Stage. As long as the wrestling is good and the crowd are hyped, then it'll be a good show regardless of the venue.

No worries tonight though as the ROH iPPV is at the Ballroom, which always makes for a good atmosphere. Also, they'll be upgrading the production for the new TV show in September.

For me it's not so much the locations as it is the crappy camera work. Very disorienting at times.

Yeah, it's never too bad if they have the hard camera set up well and good cameramen for the handhelds, but on some indies the camera work is pretty awful. I'm kind of impervious to it at this point after all those ECW fan cam events I watched in the 90s.

Only worthwhile thing about Hogan and Orton's feud:

 

[EraldoCoil]

^ lmfao!!! OUT OF NOWHERE!!

Also, the gif above that one ....

<3 Natalya

 

[Shadowlink]

I hope I'm not the only one who actually liked Orton during his Legend Killer gimmick.

Only worthwhile thing about Hogan and Orton's feud:

I remember this lol! Anyone have gif of Orton staring at his daughter after the rko?

Needs to be on in Dallas. Guess I'll stick to the internet version for now. Also rumor has it Chavo is going to TNA as they showed interest in him in the past and Hector Guerrero is on the spanish announce team. Mexico America or whatever the fuck they are called needs a new leader I guess lol

 

[BillRiccio]

I'm waiting outside waiting for CHIKARA to start and there are so many weird wrestling people here. Ye Gods I love wrestling.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

There's something to be said about the fact that ROH doesn't have PPV's every 3 weeks, and how good I feel about dropping money when they finally do have one.

Plus that fact that it's $15 instead of $60 or whatever the WWE charges nowadays.

 

[Chamber]

Whoa, did I miss a Kaitlyn appearance?

 

[British Monsoon]

There's something to be said about the fact that ROH doesn't have PPV's every 3 weeks, and how good I feel about dropping money when they finally do have one.

Same here, it really helps build the hype when shows are months apart rather than weeks, especially as ROH aren't booking from PPV to PPV like WWE nowadays.

For anyone one the fence about the iPPV there's a free 30 minute preview show that's going to start in 15 minutes;

[Plywood]

Oh Kaitlyn, greener than grass.

 

[Black Republican]

for the regular roh viewers, is eddie edwards considered a a better roh champion than roderick strong and tyler black?

The fans have taken to him quicker than either - they took too long with pulling the trigger on Tyler, so the fans kinda turned on him, and I don't think they fully had confidence is Strong's run at first, although he proved that wrong with a good reign in the end. The surprising thing was how quickly they took to the idea of Edwards as champion, as no one expected it to be him.

I was shocked by how behind Edwards the Japanese fans were in that NOAH match he had against Kotaro Suzuki earlier this year.

Oh look, I see Hermy. And he's excited!

 

[IsayFever]

rofl @ the end of Botchamania 179

 

[UberTag]

ROH BEST IN THE WORLD KICKS OFF IN 5 MINUTES!

An actual wrestling PPV worth paying for. How about that!

 

[Net_Wrecker]

That guy in the front row with the 2 cups :lol

WTF is wrong with him?

 

[DMczaf]

"something something something TERRY!"

 

[Net_Wrecker]

OMG A Randy Savage chant and Jay lethal plays it up.

LOVE IT!!

 

[UberTag]

Nice "FUCK TNA" chant from the crowd to celebrate Jay Lethal's return.
And a "Randy Savage" chant to follow up to encourage some Black Machismo antics from him.

And they're throwing Slim Jims at the ring. Holy shit!

 

[Str0ngStyle]

I need to go to NYC for an ROH show. This crowd seems real hype

 

[Str0ngStyle]

Man lethal's elbow drop is sick

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Man lethal's elbow drop is sick

The Madness lives on every time he drops it.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Batista on his weight loss: "Gave up the weights, gluten, red meat, pork....down to 260...feel great. Leaner than ever though. I feel great at this weight."

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Rhino's piledrivers sound brutal.

 

[El Pescado]

I love Kaitlyn and A.J. I can't decide which one I love more though. They're both so awesome.

Spoiler

I think my wife is on to me. She was going through the DVR and was about to delete Smackdown and I was like,"Wait! I didn't see if Kaitlyn or AJ were on it yet!" and she looked all suspicious of me.

 

[Str0ngStyle]

Am I the only one that thinks that Michael Elgin looks like a midget?

 

[sillentassasin]

Am I the only one that thinks that Michael Elgin looks like a midget?

He has a weird look yeah

 

[The Bookerman]

Wat?

Impossible. He's taking the same juice as stallone?

 

[rvd2kewl]

Am I the only one that thinks that Michael Elgin looks like a midget?

I can't get past looking at him as a stocky Jamie Noble. If he was as talented as Noble, maybe, but he's not.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

KEVIN STEEN HEEL FOREVER

Bwahahahahaha that was great.

 

[Str0ngStyle]

Well, ok then

 

[British Monsoon]

Hah, not quite what I expected, awesome nonetheless - Steen is amazing.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Christopher Daniels being such a dick :lol

 

[British Monsoon]

That was an awesome moonsault from the guardrail by Generico, enjoying this match a lot so far.

 

[remnant]

ROH is not going to head into a new television show with 2 face championships.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Daniels/Generico was really entertaining, especially the latter half.

This match right here though? Dis gon be gud.

 

[Polk]

Loving ROH iPPV so far.
Steen was great.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Was that a Little Jimmy chant? :lolol

 

[Str0ngStyle]

Tag team title match on now. Hope you ate your Campbells Chunky

 

[British Monsoon]

Oh that reversal sequence between Kenny King and Shelton was awesome.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Claudio playing to the crowd with the "AYYYE" stuff is always amusing to me.

 

[British Monsoon]

Damn, that spot was crazy - thought Claudio was going to powerbomb King from the top at first, then Shelton comes out of nowhere and just suplexes both of them.

Also, Mark Briscoe is crazy, doesn't even look before he does that triangle asai moonsault.
