Is anyone still watching this show? This thread's been pretty quiet lately. Quadruple posting is ghey.

Good show this week. Generico/Davey was an ok match, but the brawl afterwards made this show. It was just crazy. LMAO at Hagadorn beating up Paul Turner and Generico hitting Del Rey.

Mark Briscoe looked good in his return.

I still watch, I just never get down here very often. Haha!! As you already know from our chat in the Platinum Section.

I honestly think the shows have been improving and becoming a consistantly enjoyable hour long wrestling show. There's never a week with nothing worth checking out, and usually at least two, if not all the matches are good to great. It's a transition that need to be made, but we're seeing rivalries develop and I think the only thing that counts against it at the moment is it's dual continuity with the live shows and trying to get both continuities to gel over the next few months.

^You're right, the shows are improving. Although this week was an exception...

It was pretty meh, and not the show that should've been the Monday night debut if they indeed got new viewers. Steen/Eddie was solid, but I think dragged on a bit longer than it should've. Eddie getting more offense than usual was good. The ending hurt this a bit for me, because did the ref seriously not hear that chairshot or was Hagadorn just arguing with him a bit too loud?!

Sonjay Dutt is hilariously bad in his promos and trying to sound serious.

Sami Callahan could be the most entertaining jobber going right now. But holy fuck, did Necro have to do HALF the things he did...in a squash match? He was getting loud cheers, but it just came off as a totally heelish thing to do. Especially the stapling afterwards.

Nigel/Tyler was easily their worst singles match together. I'd say it was in the bottom third of HDNet main events.

I can't be assed to find the episodes and download them. Not sure why, it could probably take me ten seconds, but ah well. So I'm up to ROHBrazil's schedule.

Last week's (the one with the Davey/Generico main event) was pretty fun. This week's was a big drop off with a disappointing main event, but Necro/Sami was a hell of a lot of fun. I have no idea what's worse: The dead fans or the brain-dead YouTube commenters. Sami/Necro was probably my favorite match of the episode and the segment afterward was great as well. Truth be told, I'm not the biggest Necro fan, but to say he is awful and doesn't deserve to be in ROH just makes my head hurt.

I read the comments because the "turn off comments" function is currently broken and I guess there is some sort of attraction to their idiocy.

I'm looking forward to next week. I believe that's the one with Hero/KENTA and Claudio/Albright?

[Marketh.]

Actually, no. I think there's about three more shows before that. I think this one is Aries/Roderick, which will hopefully be a lot better than the last two matches they've had.

[Crest Fall]

Ah, that's a bit disappointing. You're right though, I keep forgetting to check the schedule ROHBrazil has up on his page. Next show doesn't look exactly spectacular, but 23 and 24 looks like some fun. I've never heard of John Kermin or Even Scott.

Better show this week. Even though the first two matches were Porpoise Matches, this one felt more enjoyable. The main event made up for it, as it was better than the other two Aries/Roderick matches this year.

Not really caring about Lynn/Tyler next week, but Wolves/Cheech & Cloudy could be a really fun squash.

[Marketh.]

Ok show this week. Dutt/Delirious was a terrible match and went so much longer than it needed to be. Dutt seems unable to use his natural voice in a promo. He needs to stop doing that praying thing and mocking Jeff Jarrett. One's useless and the other is unable to get a cheap pop.

Wolves/Cheech & Cloudy was a fun squash.

The main event 8-man was surprisingly very good. Loved the abdominal stretch with the fans and Dirty Ernie's flip onto the chair. Finish was pretty lackluster, though.

[Marketh.]

Decent show this week. Briscoes/King & Titus was a fun opener. Kingston/Rinauro and Nigel/Jobber were both pretty dull for Porpoise Matches. Lynn/Tyler was mostly boring up until the end and if I hear someone say "eye on the ball" one more time, I'll break something.

I'm considering just abandoning this thread. Doesn't seem like anyone cares about this show at all, which is a shame because I think it's gradually getting better.

[Marketh.]

Yeah...I'll just abandon this thread after this post. No point continuing when it's just me reviving it every week.


Good show this week. Bucks/DCFC was a decent opener and one of the Bucks took a hell of a POUNCE! from Jon Davis. Dissapointed by the outcome since the DCFC have looked a LOT more impressive on HDNet. The Bucks show why they have barely any non-flippy/highflying offense.

Bison/Rinauro and Cabana/Ryan was ok fun, but Cabana's comedy just isn't funny anymore and comes off cheesy. There's no point keeping Rinauro around since he's not even good as a jobber.

Steenerico/Briscoes was great stuff up until the end and I was surprised they were going all-out for this. The promo afterwards with Steen announcing Ladder War II was well done, but I was kinda annoyed that the Wolves were chased off by guys who were broken down and exhausted after a match.
