I am, as I'm sure you are, a Bret Hart fan, and was disappointed his career was cut short by a Goldberg super kick to the skull. I was even more upset to hear that he suffered a stroke and was more so concerned with health rather than his career. My question to you is, do you think The Hit Man has a chance for a big " send-off match " against one of today's top stars, or are his medical issues too severe?
I agree, the Pure title having its own rules was swell. But with the FIP recognized and defended on ROH shows, resurrecting the Pure belt would create too many titles for my liking.
Tslayer, Mistico is in CMLL not AAA, plus The Mistico Copyrights are litterally owned by CMLL, so therefore unless he allowed by CMLL, Mistico will have no choice but, still wrestle in the Arena Mexico
I think Nigel should drop the title to Danielson on the first TV taping. Danielson is, in my opinion, the greatest technician in the world today. He is truly the best in ROH and should be the focal point.
I meant to say "I also think". The why I wrote makes it seem like I am taking credit. I think you have it totally right.
I have always been a big wrestling fan and knew the business semi well, but since I started watching your videos a while ago, I started looking deeper into the business and it really changes your perspective immensely. Keep up the awesome videos TSlay, you genuinely enrich the wrestling world for all of us.
i agree with your perception on one night stand, i never looked at it in a sexual way either, extreme rules sounds kind of cheesy, thats like calling a ppv, street fight or no dq
I think getting a mexican wrestler would be good for the wwe. the reason y i meantion the wwe is cause of rey mysterio. He is not mexican born, nor trained in mexico. now if we had someon like mystico, it can create a new feud, or possible a new tag team. but it will take away from mysterio. I like myesterio's style. I think it would go better with someone who trained in mexico
ROH fans on the boards have gotten ridiculous. I've been to a few of Pearce's live shows and they've been good. FB was one of the best ROH shows I've ever attended.
I think Nigel is strong enough of a champion to build the company around on TV, Bryan is great but he just dosnt have that charasmatic edge Nigel brings to the table when talking about a TV enviroment, that isnt to say Bryan lacks charisma, he dosnt... but i think he is just better suited to a live audiance, i dont think he has the TV draw appeal that a guy like Nigel has.
that maybe true but the chants and reactions from the crowds that bryan genrates would be so diffrent and refreshing for tv, and lets face it bryan can cut a promo
How sure are you that Mistico is particularly over in Japan? New Japan brought him in and the crowd reaction was fairly lukewarm mainly because everyone was there for Misawa, Akiyama etc. I watch a LOT of japanese wrestling and that is his only appearance that I knew of and he was an insignificant draw there. I think it is a HUGE assumption to say he is over in japan, let alone on the level of guys like KENTA, Marufuji, Nakamura (im picking guys from mistico's age bracket, forget Kobashi etc).
I would even argue that young guys like Nakajima are much bigger attractions. Even Ibushi who you would have seen in ROH is a bigger draw. Most of the Dragon Gate roster that youd know from ROH too. Put Mistico in Dragon Gate instead of CIMA (even when he isnt wrestling) and crowd attendance would go down guaranteed.
Um so what about the LIVE reports that said that there where defintly people there to see Mistico with mistico masks and the whole thing? Also the fact that he was able to get a DOME croud into a Jr's match does say something as DOME crouds arn't historicly big on Jr's
You might have a point about the Mistico masks, but I didnt see them on the telecast (I wasnt there live). The Jnr's match assumption I disagree with. You're calling him the most over and biggest draw in the WORLD. You must remember a certain KENTA/Kanemaru match from Destiny. The crowd were going bonkers throughout. If Mistico was genuinely over and a big draw you'd have seen the same response. Even in the same match, Devitt (as per usual) got a good response from the crowd.
You can dissagree all you want but KENTA.Kanemaru would be the exception not the rule. Also the Atendence Numbers don't lie Shows with Mistico on as the Mainevent did well last year I will post them.
None of that has anything to do with Mistico's status in Japanese pro wrestling. Was your reply to someone else?
If it wasnt, my post made no mention of Mistico's ability to draw in Mexico, only in Japan. Obviously you'd require more than those figures (such as comparisons to isolates variables) to draw serious conclusions, but I also agree that Mistico is the biggest draw in Mexico without a doubt. Youd be preaching to the converted.
As far as I am aware, Mistico has never main evented a Japanese wrestling event. In china yes, Japan no. And KENTA is a continuing exception to your rule. I accept that the Dome crowds are tilted to the heavyweights, but that is ONLY because HVTs are the big names. The dome is normally hot for high profile matches. It has nothing to do intrinsically with the competitors weight. If Mistico was high-profile in Japan, he'd have been a draw and a fan-favourite.
Sorry I miss understood I thought you ment that he was not the bigest draw in the world that was my bad. The reason why I said he was a over was as I said he was over in japan was becouse of the live reports.
no problem at all. i think youd need a bit more to make a really strong case about him being the biggest draw in the world, but the numbers and his iconic status make him THE top guy in mexico. i thought you were spot on to name him as the biggest drawing wrestler, but i had an objection to the 'he is a big draw (and over) in japan' thing. i dont think any puro mark would agree with that. even in gaijin realms, he's nowhere near the top draw in my view.
They can't actually do a UK only PPV, because Uk doesn't really have a Pay Per View market. Only Sky Box Office offers Pay Per Views and WWE have them well sown up. TNA usually shows PPVs free on Bravo, and I don't think they'd make enough money from that so I expect a live Impact from the UK instead, or they might do next years Turning Point or even Bound For Glory in the UK but then I hear they would lose PPV buys in the states if they did that so...
Danielson vs. Nigel was better than Joe vs. Black in my humble opinion but I'm a scientific wrestling mark and I love fighting spirit even if it is pretend fighting spirit.
I can't see what ROH is doing wrong to make people pissed a double count out or a cheap DQ does deserve a little criticism but a 20 30 or 45 minute draw is nothing to hate on if the match was classic and they are furthering the feud.
I've actually been calling out the head booker at TNA for awhile now but I think he was too busy jamming the q-tip all the way to his brain to respond which would explain a hell of a lot.
I was once asked "Hey Sean, how would you book TNA?" I replied a hell of a lot better than the current book holder, sort of a back to basics with a little bit of Heyman-esque innovation and something that tugs at the heart strings like what ROH is doing with Jerry Lynn's character, you know make people care about the guys.... Most importantly let the talent show what they've got without turning everything in into a spotfest.
I liked Danielson's World Title reign myself but Joe's was great.
LOL, some of my friends hate on ring of honor and would ask me to put on something else(like WWE), i don't understand why they wouldn't wanna watch it(it's like giving some starving dudes, a nice turkey dinner and they throw it back at ya cause there wasn't any salt on the table), I find way more intreging then any product i've seen for the last 4 years and it's alot of fun.
the bret hart movie was on tv a few years back on the channel A&E and i watched it and i liked how it showed the backstage contraversy with the whole mcmahon screwing bret, and how pissed brets wife got.
I always watch your videos because of your wise and prudent knowledge of professional wrestling.

How can you have a tag team title belt be a 2nd tier belt?
I don't actually see any ways how you can use a title that is different from the top tier belt (World/WWE) Belt.
They would need a TV title, or use the ECW belt as the 2nd tier belt into the other belt on one of the brands.
