ROH Discussion Thread

[SpicyMcHaggis]

<p>Last night's ROH show in Edison got me wanting to put up a thread for it.&nbsp; Got the ok from Fallon, so here we go.</p><p>I think that Ring of Honor is my generation's ECW.&nbsp; It started as a small promotion based out of Philly that brought an alternative style to the wrestling world that many were not aware of.&nbsp; They always delivered exciting matches and introduced a puresuo element into American independent wrestling.&nbsp; Now they tour the eastern markets and are seen on international networks like the Fight Network and Wrestling Channel.&nbsp; The only difference is that these guys are self sufficient from the DVD and merch profits they make. &nbsp;</p><p>Every show is high quality production, and not just in the wrestling.&nbsp; The whole atmosphere makes you know that you are watching something different, something fresh, and something entertaining.</p><p>I followed it from the beginning ever since I heard about in 2002.&nbsp; Since then I saw Samoa Joe rise to fame, CM Punk's controversial title run while newly contracted by the WWE, including his infamous signing of the contract on the ROH World title.&nbsp; I've seen great matches that I'll never see on WWE, TNA, or anywhere else in the country for that matter.</p><p>I would love to see these guys get a show on like MSG or something, and get that underground momentum that ECW had back in their day.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I just looked this up on youtube</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgppTkpxCwA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgppTkpxCwA</a></p><p>Looks cool.&nbsp; A lot of TNA X Division guys.</p>

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Well the popular guys of the X-Division you see in TNA started out in ROH like Samoa Joe, Styles, Daniels, and Shelley.

Anyone going to the show at the Manhattan Center?<br />

[Fatts]

I dont know much about ROH but i a while back i downloaded the Samo Joe / CM Punk trilogy and that was fucking unreal... thats when i started to love CM.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

ROH definitely needs like a local tv show or something.&nbsp; Just a little more exposure won't hurt them.

[walking joint]

<p>i've been following ROH mainly thru pwinsider and their recaps for a few years now.&nbsp; i've downloaded clips of matches, but don't own any DVDs(just can't quite justify the $$$ to the wife).&nbsp; it would be awesome if they did get some TV exposure and early on could just do recaps of the bigger feuds and title runs before actually airing current material.&nbsp; almost went down to see the CZW/ROH event, but couldn't find anyone to go down there with me.&nbsp; i've followed CZW in a similiar way and own a few of their tapes...had to own UnF'Nbelievable.&nbsp; </p><p>i've checked youtube for some cool ROH matches, but i'm sure i'm missing a few.&nbsp; if anyone can post any links to some i'd appreciate it.&nbsp; i'd love to see the CM Punk signing the contract on the title.&nbsp; thats a cool angle.&nbsp; </p>

I plan on going to the NYC show. I'll be in the minority of people rooting for the kings of wrestling to take the titles from Aries and Strong.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I'm planning on going to that show myself.&nbsp; Is at the Hammerstein Ballroom or the Manhattan Center?

[xxxnyhcxxx]

I believe the Manhattan center.

[Don Stugots]

the manhatten center and the hammerstein are in the same place?&nbsp; wow, thats a big fucking place.

[xxxnyhcxxx]

<p>From what I heard the manhattan center is broken down into two areas. The first one is the hammerstien ballroom and the area where roh is running is the grand ballroom.</p>
