Apr 7, 2019 I can't believe how bad they s--- the bed...if I was NJPW I'd be furious with ROH and immediately severe ties with them Monday morning and switch to AEW as my partner. The Bully Ray garbage match was insulting to put on a show of this caliber...like who the f--- was that for? Guys swinging kendo sticks pretending they are lightsaber as the announcers hum the star wars song? Then their "big surprises" were Bully's gf and f---ing Enzo and Cass? I'm not saying every NJPW match exceeded my expectations (most at least met them) but for the biggest show in ROH history they showed they can not handle a big stage like MSG and after tonight, they will never be back.
Apr 7, 2019 Embarassing. Under the biggest spotlight, that's what gets put together. It made wrestling come so poorly. For any lapsed or non fans who don't watch either, I can't imagine this bringing them in. With the business the way it is now, these shows need to excel at every level to get more eyes on the product. They buried themselves.
Apr 12, 2019 Enzo and Cass are now to be known as NzO and CazXL. Their team name is the Free AgentZ I've never had my love of a promotion be killed so quickly.
May 1, 2019 Well f--- I came in this thread excited cuz I just got 2nd row for an ROH show next month, haven't been to an ROH show since 2007 but went to 3 then and had a great time. Haven't watched ROH in years either, you guys are saying it's not too good lately? Oh well, I'm sure there will be some great matches at least and should be fun live.
May 2, 2019 In June? I assume May is gonna be a weaker crew with Bandido and Flip doing the BOSJ tournament. ROH has always had a really hot main event scene with a poorly booked or weak undercard. This recent exodus of The Elite has exposed their lack of depth. PCO/Brody King are great, Briscoes are great, Jay Lethal is really good. Marty is awesome, but he's leaving soon. I have zero reason to watch ROH unless I hear about a great PCO/Brody King or Bandido match. They used to have the reputation in the US for being the hardcore alternative where you can always see great matches. Now it feels like they're trying to be WWE lite with ECW influences, which only comes off as TNA which is far better than ROH now. Funnily enough, NXT has been a better ROH than ROH for a while now too.
May 2, 2019 Yeah it's like June 2nd I think. d--- I wish I looked into it a little more before immediately deciding to go, but oh well. Yeah I used to like the briscoes quite a bit when I watched, hope they're on the show i see at least.. Also the 3 ROH shows I saw in 07 were solid from start to finish, I mean there might have been a few weak moments, I don't recall exactly but I know i enjoyed the shows a lot overall..2 of the 3 were Mania weekend, so maybe that's why, cards were probably more stacked.
May 15, 2019 Super Jr's has started off sick! Sho vs. Shingo is a must watch I'm watching Night 2 right now
May 25, 2019 Once BOSJ is over, I expect someone to provide me with a list of the best matches and their NJPW World login
May 27, 2019 Can’t give u my login but I’ll post some of my favs as I’m sure @Pinhead will too. What I’ve seen so far has been great @NJPWBros Jon moxley will wrestle in njpw soon
May 27, 2019 I think he's gonna be there on the finals. Then we got Dominion a few days later. Top 3 so far for me is Ospreay/Bandido, Ospreay/Phantasmo, and Marty/Shingo.
May 31, 2019 @NJPWBros @tomroe93 tournament almost over. Here are my faves and some thoughts. Dates should be correct 5/15 Dragon Lee vs SHO ****1/4 5/16 Romero vs Ospreay ****1/2 5/22 El Phatasmo vs Ospreay ****1/2 5/22 Scurll vs Takagi ***3/4 5/23 Dragon Lee vs Takagi ****1/4 5/23 Bandido vs Ospreay ****1/2 5/23 Scurll vs SHO ****1/4 5/24 El Phantasmo vs Romero ****1/2 5/24 Dragon Lee vs Titan **** 5/26 Ospreay vs Eagles ****1/4 El Phantasmo has been the biggest surprise to me. Was not familiar with his work whatsoever but he’s excellent. Will Ospreay is MVP obviously. He’s phenomenal might be putting on the best work in the world right now. Never was a big fan of Rocky Romero in the ring but he has been involved in two absolute classics. Two matches above are must see. My favorites are Ospreay/Phantasmo, Phantasmo/Romero, Ospreay/Bandido in that order. Sorry I don’t post much anymore
May 31, 2019 Oh and also f--- that asshat Juice robinson stupid whiney assclown ruins the commentary for me and I hope Moxley beats his a--- on June 5 Actually yea new japan’s Commentary team is pretty s--- now I don’t like anyone’s who’s been doing this tournament except Kelley. Everyone just needs to shut up and let Kevin do a one man booth ffs they’re annoying
Jun 1, 2019 Kelly and Rocky need to be the only team...they are f---ing great. Rocky has obviously been busy being in the tournament, but going forward he should always be in the booth now that Callis is gone.
Jun 1, 2019 Ospreay can do every style at the highest level and hungry, like Omega in G1's. Classic after classic. By quantity of great matches he's the best wrestler in the world probably dating back to September. That Marty/Shingo rating is just a crime though, watch it in Japanese.
Jun 1, 2019 The crazy thing is Juice has been good when he's had to sit in, but he's been one of the worst I've ever heard in the matches I've watched on this tour. Charlton has grown on me a lot but they d-ck teased us with Excalibur and we only get to hear him once a month now.
