ROH TBT

 

Lacey, the American Beaty and I'm Kevin Spacey...

 

Came across this on YouTube and I have an urge to dive into old ROH shows just to rewatch the Jimmy Loves Lacey angle and those crazy Jimmy Jacobs and BJ Whitmer matches.

 

I was front row for that first one in Detroit and they landed right in front of me on that botched super powerbomb spot. We thought Jacobs was dead.

I try really hard with RoH but their TV is just so fucking shitty an lazy. We're weeks past Supercard of Honor and they're just now showing matches off of that show. How are you supposed to ever be excited about the product or sustain interest when you get these month long dead zones surrounding the big shows?

The ending of Sakai/Klein was just embarrassing to watch. Why do a women's division if you can't do it well?

 

I thought the semi's were OK (just about), but the final was dreadful. I have no idea what they were going for with the moonsault that missed but was meant to hit and then a rough as hell and awkward DDT which had the worst combination of looking terrible but also looking really dangerous that meant the ending of the match got no reaction. As I think others have mentioned, given they had spent two years building up Kelly Klein's undefeated streak, the fact it ended like that basically makes the whole streak null and void. Don't understand the booking of the tournament at all - from everything I can tell Sumie Sakai seems like a lovely person, but I always thought that using Emma to put over Deonna Purrazo in the final would've been the way to go. It also would've been a really good match probably!

Sakai was like the fourth most logical option in the tournament, behind Emma (who has a big star vibe), Klein (beating Emma or Purazzo in the final to set up a feud), or Purazzo (beating Klein to pay off their feud).

 

I also thought the semis were ok (watched them on TV this week since I'd skipped the pre-show day of), but the final was as bad as I recall.

 

And the TV is still dead if it's not pushing the Bullet Club wars forward.

I literally only watch their super cards and never feel like I miss a single relevant thing.

 

I've never seen a single episode of their TV, but it sounds terrible. I mean, I'm sure they occasionally have a match worth watching or whatever. But I don't feel obligated to see every above average match put out by every company on earth or anything. So, if the TV isn't even slightly compelling, I'm good.

Read on DVDVR someone mention that someone from ROH said they will not be adding the pre-HDNet era stuff to Honor Club which means I'll never sign up.

 

Their best years were before they aired on HDNet so it's a huge mistake to not add that stuff.

It's okay, you wouldn't be able to find it even if it was there.

They already have? There's a Punk comp up there.

 

But yeah, the full shows should be up there, and I don't know when they plan on doing that. If I was into streaming the current shows, I would not be a subscriber.
