  1. Steve Keirn making just 4 ballots but getting over 200 points (with one of those ballots 94) means three guys really ranked him quite high.
  2. Corino was my #100 - finally on the board!
  3. And tomorrow's is loaded with the tag title match, Kenny Omega vs ACH and the Fight Without Honor.
  4. Overlooked due to Mania weekend (perhaps), thought the last ROH TV was the best in ring show this year: http://placetobenation.com/ring-of-honor-tv-episode-237-recap/

  9. I feel like we need a sub-forum named "The Jerry Saggs Fiasco" now.
  10. Dave's been reviewing the weekend shows and we just put up the Supershow: http://placetobenation.com/wwn-supershow-mercury-rising-2016-review/
  11. First time as a co-host across any of our channels and shows. Very excited for this and started listening on my way in today. Thank you both.
  12. Show has been out on the P2B feed since 2:30am Gus. Sometimes we double the reaction shows up on the PWO-PTBN feed but plenty there from Kris yesterday, plus all the GWE and Kal stuff, so its just on the regular P2B podcast iTunes.
  13. Have a couple streams of thought from both last night and then thinking more on the show today (I just read this entire thread and it was infinitely better than Mania itself): - Ryder's win feels like a "Swagger cashes in the briefcase and wins" pop and NEXT Monday (tonight doth not count with that crowd) everyone will be sitting on their hands. It's Fandango all over again. I would completely believe that Neville was slated to win here and they didn't re-write anything other than to give it to his replacement - Jericho kicking out of the Styles Clash is an absolute burial. Never ever should happen. Could have told the same story without it. Now the story made no sense for Jericho to win anyway and worse off is that they ran through EVERYTHING here. What is left? Weapons I guess since its EXTREME RULES. Ugh. - Awesome entrance for Sasha - KING pop for her (Snoop's other singer they introduced sucked fwiw) and while I'm sure she had nerves (you can catch her colliding with Becky before the bell gazing at the crowd), I actually thought she was the worst of the 3 in that particular match. Becky really held it together early for them to get into a groove. Charlotte was perfectly fine. And I like Sasha a lot. I liked how they teased the Bank Statement finish (she rolls over and keeps the hold on) and still had another couple of minutes. Really had you buying everything at the end. MOTN and it wasn't close. - No one sells a ball shot like Lesnar. He's #1 all-time there and good on him for them still bothering him as he walked up the ramp after. Lesnar suplex squashes have been interesting exactly once - in the match where Reigns got to actually make a believable comeback. Here it was the same old shit and I honestly thought surely they'd switch it up and really get the crowd behind Ambrose here. I even PICKED Ambrose to win - thinking they'd actually try to make a star here since it was mid-card anyway. Instead we get kendo shots and all that storyline build with weapons is essentially for naught. Brock needed to take the barbed wire bat and create a nearfall to really bring everyone in. This was so flat. - Just a couple months ago Undertaker was going toe-to-toe with Brock Lesnar in the Cell and then this abomination. Just as Kelly noted earlier - I also wondered aloud (for my wife who could not have cared less and was doing something else) that this was shaping up to be worse than Vince/Bret. Shane reversing the triangle choke was probably the worst move/sequence on the entire card. In what universe did that fit based on any kind of backstory? Shane doesn't have the strength to lift the damn bolt cutters! Obviously an insane spot (think about how fast Taker had to get the hell out of the way too) and it looked, thankfully, like the table was padded underneath too. Trotting your kids out for that though - I mean, damn. - Poor Tatanka doesn't even get an intro. But neither did Corbin - wtf. The only match on the whole show where someone felt elevated. - Maybe the biggest mystery on the show - was the main event No DQ or not? Seemed it, because, I mean the posters said it and Stephanie pulled the ref out but damn if the announcers had no f'n clue. I do want to give them kudos for watching Cheeseburger palm strike a woman on recent ROH TV and then think 'we should also have our biggest star hit a woman". - By all accounts of the guys we had there live, they completely drowned out the boos with cheers when Reigns won.
  14. Mine is in. Real excited to hear we got over 100. Fantastic.
  15. Hell, you and Parv should do a 2-man reaction show to your own interview.
  16. I liked the Bucks vs. Tanahashi/Elgin match just fine on first watch but after revisiting following watching their 3/12 triple threat and then the gauntlet stuff, I thought it was actually a great performance by them - I'll call it the best main event i've seen on ROH TV this year. They work as full blown babyfaces here, with Tanahashi cutting off tags and everything. I wonder if they'll ever release the full version as I'd like to see it. http://placetobenation.com/ring-of-honor-tv-episode-235-recap/
  17. I put together a stream of consciousness-like piece on the 3/12 show: http://placetobenation.com/hot-takes-on-roh-the-312-conquest-tour-philly-show/ Chad wrote up something as well: http://placetobenation.com/roh-conquest-tour-thoughts-from-the-312-philadelphia-show/
  18. I'm only 15 minutes in but Dalton's pre match stuff was amazing.
  19. I was too busy last week to catch the Gauntlet so need to re-watch here, but did see this week's TV. Fun TV main event for sure. Liked Ishii getting the spotlight although I thought they were going to run Honor Rising specials first, like him wining the belt to explain what was going on for this current TV. Also, I haven't watched the Philly 3/12 show but Kevin said it was the best show he's seen in his 6 years at ROH. That's pretty high praise.
  20. I think they do a great job of following a specific timeline with their wrestler comps and they don't duplicate, so really would be finding your personal faves there. Their Year One - Five series is a nice time capsule.
  21. Big weekend sale on ROHWrestling - 25% + the ringside 15% on top. Usual sale figure for them but they FINALLY have a threshold for free shipping with any order over $75. This is great that those extra couple bucks to ship aren't being added on top of $6.99 DVDs that are 40% off. Doing a little back collecting of the bigger shows, plus Final Battle 2015 40% off is way better than their online VOD price.
  22. I enjoyed Chad's quick "well, I don't know about fair" response when Parv asked if it was fair to segregate joshi workers by their appearance based on their preference of sexual partner.
  23. Brian reading the Confessions of a Ring Rat article, using his Mrs. Doubtire voice for the woman's quotes AND NOT BREAKING (??) is one of the better podcast achievements of late. Well done.
  24. Eddie is also above Rey on mine.
