    Cary Silkin doesn't think current ROH is being treated well

    I haven't read the entire thread so apologies if I'm just repeating everything that has been said. I agree with what people have said about a AEW/ROH split. I feel like this is how it was initially billed when ROH was being brought back and then as others have said it essentially became AEW...

    WWE ‣

    Just for what it's worth, while we discuss ideas as part of the > Universe, I don't know everything that goes on with Jam and Deco's booking. Nor do I contribute to any of their shows. [RAW - EPISODE 1469] Man, 2021 really feels so long ago now with Bobby Lashley as champion and the Hurt...

    Ring Of Honor: Death Before Dishonor

    I thought I hadn't seen a post from you in a while but wasn't aware that I had missed one! - It's obviously too soon to be taking the World TV title away from Dalton and I much prefer him as a heel, with The Boys being used beyond the entrance - I always felt Castle did his best character work...

    NXT [EPISODE #469] ‣ "WHAT'S NeXT" PREVIEW We are one week away from NXT TakeOver: High Stakes, and tensions between our double NXT Champion, Bronson Reed, and the Million Dollar Champion, LA Knight, continue to soar. Last week, the number contender solidified his alliance with the newly...

    • [FEATURED STORY:] Earlier today, WWE posted a digital exclusive featuring the NXT Women's Champion, Raquel González, alongside Mercedes Martinez and Dakota Kai. The champion appeared to be banged up following the brutal Warrior's Way match but that didn't prevent her from celebrating the...

    Ring Of Honor: Death Before Dishonor

    I like Kenny King tribute to ROH in his promo, sure, he's had success elsewhere in his career but I feel like he's a stalwart of ROH that doesn't always get his flowers. I think the same could be said for Titus too, both men don't always make the top ten lists of stars associated with ROH but as...

    Ring Of Honor: Death Before Dishonor

    Interesting to see ROH TV on YouTube and not Honor Club but honestly, I think ROH needs more eyes on it and YouTube is a good way of getting exposure when there's not viable TV deals. I like Dalton leaning into the Television Championship as a fighting title. I think it adds stakes to the...

    Ring Of Honor: Death Before Dishonor

    I always enjoy seeing a Ring of Honor project and I respect the fact that you open by saying that the premise isn't very realistic. I think you've done such a hard switch to the pre-pandemic era, it would have been interesting to see you build the hype to this special Supercard of Honor event -...

    AEW: All Elite Wrestling!

    It feels so odd seeing AEW Dark again with how much has changed IRL. I continue to love the direction of this show as a B-show that not only handles the mid-card talent but introduces the newcomers and still manages to drive Dynamite stories forward. Cody opening the show is a smart move for...

    ROH Supercard of Honor - April 5, 2024

    I think Johnny and Taya have been doing some really good work on ROH, and Dalton is just such a hidden gem. Although I'd rather all three feel important on ROH than jobbed out across Rampage and Collision. That being said, Jerry Lynn randomly running in and making it a Fight Without Honor match...

    AEW: All Elite Wrestling!

    Nice to see this is still going! Let's get into the review... It's still weird to read this a as project initially based on the idea of Punk joining AEW, which was unthinkable at the time, then during the lifespan of your project, he's not only joined but left and done something even more...

    TNA Sacrifice 2024 - FRIDAY, March 8 - Live from Windsor, Ontario - Live on TNA+

    The booking of the tag belts has always felt based on whoever is the flavour of the month but this feud could have lasted far longer, because Spitfire have had about 3 matches as a team. I don't get the logic of MK Ultra losing to Decay, to win the belts back and them lose again two weeks later...

    Ring of Honor *SPOILERS* taped 2/3/24

    I'm glad we're getting some storytelling but I don't know why it always feels like The Iron Savages and Karter/Garrison are always part of multi-man tag matches and the repeated four-corner matches seem more like they're trying to get people on the card rather than tell a story. I think ROH...

    NXT [EPISODE #468] ‣ "WHAT'S NeXT" PREVIEW The WWE Universe was stunned last week when up-and-comer, Cal Bloom, attacked the NXT Double Champion, Bronson Reed - the same man who saved him from a beating the week prior. To add insult to injury, Bloom seemingly has aligned with "The New...

    NXT 2012 - Gateway to the Future

    I love this early NXT with the transition from FCW and the early charm it had. I wonder how hindsight will impact your booking decisions, like Stojy said, there's a lot of great talent on the roster but also curious to see if you'll build anyone who perhaps didn't much time back then. Good luck...
