It's mostly to do with the WWE schedule. As much as I would like to see flashier moves there, the average WWE and even TNA wrestler wrestle more often in the run of a year than the average indy guy. That's why I actually like Indy and Puro better than WWE and TNA, you don't get to see the guys as much and when you do it adds a certain specialness to it.
(continued). and somtimes i watch them just to see rvd, rey mysterio, brian kendrick, and shelton benjamin, they're great wrestlers regardless of what promotion. i used/want to like TNA, the x-division is what got me hooked,but they keep bringing in gimmick matches, ex-wwe guys and washed up celebrities when they're suppose to be growing they're own stars. for that i get fustrated to the point that i stop caring. when i'm too busy for wwe, don't care for TNA, what's left? ROH which i watch now.
I agree with you to a certain point, but if they take a guy who was an ex-WWE guy but never got pushed in the WWF and they build him up that's one thing, but when they bring in guys like Kurt Angle and pretty much give him the ball immediatly it just proves they can't make their own stars, unless it's some ex-WWE midcarder like Rhino that they build up
To be fair, Kurt Angle is the best wrestler on the planet and while he got given pushes in WWE, he was never really promoted as one of WWE's premiere superstars like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, John Cena and Batista are. Whereas now in TNA, Kurt is one of the people you think about when you think TNA. One guy I think TNA definitely dropped the ball with (and WWE too) though is Monty Brown. He had star written all over him.
WASN'T PUSHED IN WWE!? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! He's a 5 time World Champion in WWE, he held the European and IC titles at the same time. HE BEAT 5 PEOPLE IN A HELL IN A CELL. He's headlined Wrestlemania 3 times, wrestled all the names you mentioned (bar batstia) and beat them all. But yes, he is TNA now. And both TNA and WWE dropped the ball with Brown. TNA needs to bring him back while their bringing the 2005 names back.
Did you even read what I said? I never said WWE didn't push him, I said that they never branded him as one of their premiere superstars, like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker etc. (I'm just repeating myself here so if you don't get it now, you'll never get it). TNA has done a better job at branding Kurt Angle as THE top guy than WWE did. I agree though, with Slammiversary coming up and TNA putting heaps of hype behind it, now would be a great time for The Alpha Male to return.
The fact that it's pro wrestling and it's pre-determined. CM Punk is a 2-time World Champion, but when you think of WWE you don't instantly think of CM Punk do you? No, you think of Triple H, or Shawn Michaels, or The Undertaker, or Stone Cold, or The Rock. Guys that were branded as the premiere stars of WWE. Kurt Angle was never in that elite group. Sure he had good matches with all of them and won titles, but he was never a household name like those guys are.
That's because WWE is a more globally recognized product. They could just air 3 hours of Triple H hitting the pedigree and people would still buy it. TNA on the other hand is still fairly new, and needs to catch the attention of the fans with gimmick matches and such. Regardless of whether you like the product, TNA is growing (although rather slowly, they're still growing nonetheless). To me I don't really care what the gimmick is, so long as I like the wrestlers involved.
looks like a great ppv really looking forward to seeing the Lucha 6 man as well as the Aries/Nakajima vs KETA/Black match this should be a great PPV for ROH
Why can't the HD net show look like he ppvs? the HDNet show looks so dim, yet with the ppv, you can see the crowd, the lighting is good. They still use the crane cam. What's so bad about the ppv look that HDnet wanted to change so bad?
what is the name of this grip at 0:25 ?
Please :)

WWE isn't as family oriented as you think, and is just as overbooked as TNA. Santina? Hornswoggle? What the fuck is that shit?

Yeah, but at least WWE don't need to give every match on a PPV a name or a gimmick in order to sell it to the fans.

So in other words, you're a WWE mark and a TNA hater/basher trying to use ROH to balance out your markism.
