ROH bans Ladder Matches

[Soulpower]

The Ladder War is so innovative, so dangerous, so death-defying and so incredible that ROH officials have decided to ban this type of match. The thoughts among ROH officials is that any athlete competing in another Ladder War would have to take too many extreme risks in order to try to top the "Man Up" one.

"It is a spectacular match," ROH President Cary Silkin said. "There is just no way the "Man Up" Ladder War can be topped and it would be too dangerous to put anyone in a position where they would have to top it. The Ladder War is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of match."

I actually like this. ROH doesn't tend to whore out gimmick matches anyways, and it makes more people want ot buy the PPV because it has ROH's last ladder match. Of course, it wouldn't shock me to see a "Unsanctioned Ladder Match further down the road.

I actually like this move, as it makes more special the Ladder War that has already happened, besides it hypes even more the PPV

^^^^^^^^


i dont ever recall a ladder match i know they've had ladders in match but not a ladder match i guess its the right call but in 2 or 3 years there gonna need those ladder matches to get known i cant wait to see the man up one

i think the last match i seen of there, was london/Shane but i think that was street Fight.. but nice idea. but im only into 2006 with ROH.. im still behind, but i havent watched wrestling for about good 2-3 months only watch lil bits here and there..

Like Icon said, he last ladder match I can remember was between London & Shane and that was how long ago? I really dont care for gimmick matches tbh. I'd rather see a traditional match over a lets say no DQ type of match.

man,i haven't seen any ladder matches for some time now..but its a good move by ROH..after all,they want their wrestler's to be safe and sound when the show ends..

Interesting strategy. Im surprised how much buzz their is about this move. When i first read it i didnt think twice. But ROH is playing it smart in my opinion. d

maybe it's just there to make ladders used more by TAOTF. Because it's banned, and it's a rebellion, it's against ROH, maybe we might actually see more ladders in the upcoming shows.

When does ROH come on?

 

[thedeadite]

right now it comes on dvd and they started doing ppvs this year too.
no tv deals though (i think it's carried in some way on cable/satelite here in canada but i have neither).

So to watch it you have to buy the dvds?
