    Yeah he was completely checked out in New Japan...I assume he will be more invested in AEW so we'll see if that makes a difference. As long as he's the #3 guy he should be fine.

    Press release says senior advisor with Marvez and Excalibur doing commentary. Justin Roberts is the announcer, and Alicia Atout is the backstage correspondent.

    JR would be invaluable off screen. Don't think they're dumb enough to have him do commentary most of the time.

    Excalibur getting a job like this brings a tear to my eye

    d--- really? Am I the only one that doesn't like him? I think I am lol
    Ex has been one of the most underrated dudes in all of wrestling for years and years...I'm so stoked for him! Great guy too...I've met him a bunch of times at PWG and he's way cool

    I didn’t really have any opinion on Justin Roberts as a ring announcer either way, but after reading his book I definitely like him as a person at least. It was a real good read, he’s a good guy and the book also really shows you how poor WWE is in a lot of behind the scenes stuff.

    Jungle Boy had a great match with Janela at Spring Break Part 2. He can do some incredible stuff.

    Edit

    Including this

    @Pinhead I plan on watching both Spring Break shows at some point this week (I had originally planned to do it today but I'm kind of wrestled out after last night lol). Do you recommend the G1 special too or no? I haven't heard very positive reviews on it

    I would skim through it, it is special but ROH'S contributions to the show were a serious misfire. Ospreay/Cobb, 3 way, 4 way tag, Naito/Ibushi, Zack/Tana, and Okada/Jay are all varying levels of very good to great.

    Spring Break Part 2 was GREAT. Clusterfuck battle royal was a clusterfuck, but the best battle royal I saw this weekend. Impact was bad, RevPro was alright, Supershow was fun. Horrible production on these indie shows outside of Janela/GCW.

    I'm pretty much with you at this point, gonna check out the penis party and a few matches but I've about had my fill.
