@TSlay1974 Well you can cut back on the house shows a bit but still make them important. Maybe instead of doing double shots like they have been doing they can do one major house show every month. Also if ROH really cared they could get those DVDs out quickly look at Death Before Dishonor IX the DVD was out within a month of the show taking place.

[TSlay1974]

@Trademark629 no you really can't they need to do about 40 shows a year and DVDs are dead doesn't matter how quick they turn them around

[Trademark629]

@TSlay1974 So if DVDs are dead....then does that mean PWG and Chikara are both going out of business soon?

[TSlay1974]

@Trademark629 you ever think that is why PWG does 10 shows a year and.is backed by highspots. Chikara doesn't produce thier on dvds AND most of thier talent comes cheap so they can come.close to breaking even without dvds yet even they are starting to do ippvs as that is were the money is thier is a reason why DGUSA streams everything now

[Trademark629]

The DVDs not coming out are really a bad thing. ROH does not run a PPV schedule such as WWE where you get an important show every month. We get a PPV about every 3 months. And in between all we get is the 1 hour TV show? You need more full-length shows to retain interest. Why follow ROH for the sake of seeing just 4 or 5 truly worthwhile shows every year? Look at 2010 when they were on HDNet they were able to have GREAT house shows and the TV show was still good and won an Observer award.

[TSlay1974]

@Trademark62 2010 22 shows with 4-5 TV tapings, 2011 20 shows with what 6 tapings and that was with them off TV for about 4 months. they are probobly going to do at least 10 tapings this next year then you have 5 iPPVs if the house shows stay around 20 that is now 35 shows. You add that with the DEATH of DVDs which is what has happened and the DVD need to take a back seat unless they find away to get the shows out with in a week and get them on Netflix or some other way to stream them

[Musicgod76]

I gave it 8/10

[jeffhardynextwweman2]

The tag titles should be a fucking DUD or 1 star

[IDante1Savage]

A bizarre ppv. Anti wrestling.

7.25 out of 10. That's a bad show. Wow Truthslayer gives this a bad review. I remember last year how you were saying this is awesome it's an alternative to wwe and all that with the DVD hype. Now it seems like you don't like this show. Anyways I think UFC is better than wrestling.

[Westcoastmost90]

idk I just don't buy that if TNA or WWE put on the exact same show with all the production problems that they'd get the same ratings. This ROH fandom is whats causing you to no longer be the premier YWC reviewer Tslayer.

[FrankSheppard973]

I agree with this review of the show, as I said on SandersRobin24 review (I think?) this show was on par with DBD for me. Oddly enough, Elgin/TJP was my favorite match of night despite being formulaic as I expected it to be.

In hindsight, ROH made the same mistake with Davey that they did Nigel and Black as far as striking when the iron was hot. They should've rebuilt Davey and had him take strap here.

[mhc12k]

Kenny King needs to leave Titus behind and build towards a main event run. He can talk, wrestle and had personality unlike Edwards or Richards.

[Trademark629]

@Dalyxman It all depends on what you expect going in. Disappointing doesn't equal bad, and overachieving doesn't equal good. If I expected a great to amazing show before the show took place, and it just turned out good, then I would call that disappointing. Because although it wasn't bad, I expected much more from it. Just like if I expected a terrible show going in and it turned out to be okay. Does that make it good or great? No, but I would say that it was better-than-expected.

@Trademark629 i dont know who is a bigger mark, you or tslay lol you wet your pants everytime you see he made a new video and post like a thousand comments to get his attention and get his approval for being a "smart" indy wrestling fan in his eyes. u lack personality little man.
