[Mr. Enigma]

Onita looks so weird now after all the plastic surgery he had done to his face. Doesn't even look like him anymore.

 

[sf2fanatic]

My complaint about the company is they have guys (Edwards, Richards, Young Bucks, Strong) who do way too fucking much in every match they're in. It gets tiresome.

I definitely agree with that, and it's a problem indy wrestling is always fighting - the fans demand the faster-paced, innovative action you won't find on WWE, but at the same time, without reason or psychology behind the moves, it becomes meaningless. In general it's gotten a lot worse this past couple of years - guys like Danielson & McGuinness did a LOT of work in the ring, but I don't ever once remember thinking "this is pure overkill" like I did with Richards/Edwards at Final Battle. But it's a fine line they have to tread, as their previous match at Best in the World was one of the best matches of 2011 imo, but the Final Battle match went too far.

As for the Young Bucks, yeah, they've always been totally ridiculous when it comes to doing too much.

*edit, oh, and I wouldn't be surprised if the main event tonight goes into total overkill territory.

Say what you want about Onita, but at one point he came across like the biggest badass in wrestling.

Totally, and it helped that Onita's always seemed slightly unhinged - it's just that in no way did I think that in 2012 I'd be watching Akebono vs Onito for the Z1 title. Bizarre.

CHIKARA is why I'll be getting the ROH IPPV today. I am also not a huge a fan of the ROH super matches throughout the card but I enjoy most of the action ROH puts out. I'm just super burned out afterwards. ROH can't hold my attention storyline wise. Besides what Steen does I don't care about most of the guys on the roster or their reasons for fighting each other. Should be a good card from top to bottom today though and CHIKARA guys being there will make it interesting. Plus I think Vin Gerard will be in attendance to mess with Kingston. Check it out peeps!

Did you see that Chikara is confirmed for the ROH shows in Miami?

I did indeed I'm giddy as a school girl right now!!! UMB is going to bring the pain!

Well let me tell ya somethin', Mene Gene, that's an I-PPV, also known as a Yappapai PPV, and the Otomester is too old and too cute for that.

Spoilers from the last night of this year's prestigious wXw 16 Carat Gold Tournament;

Spoiler

El Generico beat Tommy End in the final - also, on day 3 they put on a World of Sports rules match between Fit Finlay and Johnny Kidd!

Can't wait for the DVDs, it was a great line-up for the tournament this year.

You have to Pay to View, so it's a PPV

Hell, if WWE offered iPPVs in the UK I might actually give them some money for once.

 

[Kaladin]

12 minutes till Young Wolves Rising (I refuse to call it the 10nth Anniversary Show)!

 

[El Pescado]

No Triple H Muppet in the latest episode of @WWE #AreYouSerious? That's #GarbageJuice...

Spoiler

By the way... Garbage Juice? Trending worldwide.

 

[British Monsoon]

Do as the man says;

@CMPunk; "Chicago is 175 years old today. ROH is 10. Celebrate accordingly."

 

[Kaladin]

Damnit ROH, I'm tired of hearing the opening lick of dueling banjos, start the feed already.

Here we go.

 

[British Monsoon]

3000kbps option? Is that new? Would be good if the overall picture quality is upgraded.

*edit, and we're go! Nigel & Kevin Kelly in the ring.

 

[Kaladin]

Ok, this is already the best looking iPPV they've done. It's actually in 16:9 widescreen!

 

[British Monsoon]

Serious. Looking really good, hopefully the camera work isn't as bad as it was at Final Battle.

 

[BillRiccio]

So far so good for ROH, even the video package got queued up ok!

 

[Kaladin]

So far so good for ROH, even the video package got queued up ok!

It had audio issues though, but it's a small issue. The picture quality looks great.

WGTT vs ANX up first!

20 minute time limit? Boooooo.

 

[British Monsoon]

20 minute time limit? Boooooo.

Lol, that's fine by me - I don't want a repeat of Final Battle. I was done before the main event even started thanks to that super-long tag gauntlet.

 

[Judderman]

It's weird, it's the month before Wrestlemania, but I'm not really feeling Wrestling that much right now. If only there was something to rekindle...

Finally, if this match-up doesn't excite you, then there's no hope; PAC will challenge Prince Devitt for the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title. I said Goddamn!!!

LET'S FUCKING GO.

 

[Kaladin]

This is wrestling in the first ten minutes? Is this the Impact Zone?

 

[Kaladin]

 

[Kaladin]

Bootaaay, did they say when PAC would face Prince Devitt?

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

He's debuting a Dr. Octopus from Spider-Man 2 gimmick?

 

[Kaladin]

He's debuting a Dr. Octopus from Spider-Man 2 gimmick?

I think that was posted for the middle fingers from the crowd. Otherwise, a fairly worthless picture.

 

[British Monsoon]

Bootaaay, did they say when PAC would face Prince Devitt?

Nope, just that he's challenged Devitt - no response from Devitt yet, I think, it's hard to tell from reading google translated Japanese pages

*edit, huh, surprising - I was sure WGGT would pick up the win after destroying Rhett's knee.

 

[Kaladin]

ANX victory? I fully expected WGTT to go over here since they have the Briscoes in Miami.

 

[BillRiccio]

That was a pretty fun opener. All Night Express can really go. Damn audio issue's again with the replay.

 

[British Monsoon]

Huh, "over a million" people watch the ROH show online, apparently.

Homicide vs Mike Bennett is up next.

Maria...hnnnggggggggg.

 

[BillRiccio]

Damn Maria is fiiiiiiine

 

[Kaladin]

New York is all over Bennett, he's probably the most over heel in this company.

 

[BillRiccio]

I enjoy how Maria does photo shoot poses the entire time she's in the ring.

 

[British Monsoon]

Homicide with his old music and Michael Meyers jumpsuit! Nostalgia. If only Boogaloo was here too, I loved the Natural Born Sinners.

 

[Kaladin]

They really need to turn down the levels on their audio.

 

[British Monsoon]

Lol, no way was Homicide ever going to hit a top rope Cop Killa.

GTS! And Homicide with the Punk tribute, nice

*edit, bah, Bennett wins with a roll-up out of nowhere.

 

[Kaladin]

That's a competitive tug of war!

 

[British Monsoon]

If this was 2002 era ROH, Maria would have taken a Cop Killa through a table.

*edit, WOO Eddie Kingston!

 

[BillRiccio]

EDDIE KINGSTON!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kaladin]

Eddie Kingston!

 

[British Monsoon]

Oh shit, STEEN!!!

This should be good, two of the best talkers in the game right here.

 

[BillRiccio]

Holy Shit Steen and Kingston in the same ring! Something is going to blow up!!!

 

[Kaladin]

Keep it classy New York. LMAO.

 

[British Monsoon]

"Sit down before I shut your mouth with my genitals".

Lol, stay classy Steen.

"I didn't come here to fight you....but things change".

 

[BillRiccio]

Eddie Kingston is a god on the mic

 

[Kaladin]

Was.....was Steen going to piss on the Chikara Grand Championship?

 

[British Monsoon]

That was pretty awesome, hope this leads to Kingston vs Steen.

House of Truth vs TJP & Red up next, dis gonna be good.

 

[BillRiccio]

Steen almost pissing on the Grand Championship was great. The whole segment was amazing.

 

[bart jr]

Thanks for the updates on the ROH ppv Bill, Bootaay, and djsandman. Unfortunately I couldn't purchase this one.
