cpst Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Thanks for dropping this a bit earlier. On WWE PPV weeks it's nice to listen to this podcast before the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpst Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I hear ya. We try , with work schedules sometimes it's hard.I don't even understand how people with jobs put out consistent podcasts.

bradhindsight Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Will listen tomorrow - thought 10/22 ROH TV was worst of the year (talking real TV, not packages or Honor Rising stuff). The best part was the Briscoes interview segment. Lot of fatigue post-PPV night before the taping. Felt really flat. Real bad ending to the main event too.

I kind of merged shows and forgot about the O'Reilly match. I still stand by the above, and I like Gresham and love that they're using him, but I'm just not feeling bulked up O'Reilly. Is it me Pete? I need to re-watch the Shibata Field of Honor match and I haven't seen their NJPW match either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I enjoyed the Shibata matches . I think he just has to adjust to carrying the bulk. Though he has lost some of his quickness or explosiveness . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchaundead Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I liked both Shibata matches a lot too but it feels like an odd diversion from what should be KOR on a war path to the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyPulis'Cap Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Great show as ever guys, was really intrigued to hear what you both thought of the Sullivan/Corino/Whitmer angle, as on the latest ROH TV I was watching thinking, "what the help is this??" I really liked the original Corino/Whitmer story they built for well over a year but that Should've ended after their match, Corino winning and then everyone moving on. I'm now completely lost to where this is going. Everything about the angle - from the dialogue, to the acting, to the promos is awful and you can just tell the crowds have no idea to react to any of it. I can actually take a bit of hocus pocus and out there storytelling in wrestling but this turns me off the shows at the moment completely. For all the nonsense at times, at least at the heart of the Undertaker and Kane stuff was the fact that they were brothers with a clear past that they explained as they went along. Yeah it got stupid with flaming caskets and setting camera men on fire with lightning bolts but you could still follow most of the basic elements. With the Corino/Sullivan stuff im completely lost and as Pete said, they have no past onscreen relationship to draw on so none of it makes sense in any way. Even if more of the story did make sense, the acting and lines are so corny that it wouldn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 ^ I also really liked the slow burn of Whitmer / Corino (really it was at least two years before they met in the ring) and, in the minority, actually really liked heel Whitmer in 2015 with the Colby stuff and everything. I'm all for them using Punisher, and I get tagging these young guys with vets (see: Kamaitachi, Jay White, etc), but man is it just brutal. And what's the end game - a Final Battle rematch? I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thanks for the kind words. I'm with you on the original angle was organic feeling. While now how it has evolved it feels phony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
