Thoughts on Gresham situation?

Thoughts on Gresham situation? I think it’s disappointing on both sides - I do think Gresham got a raw deal by being a proper defending champion while the company was in hiatus only to immediately do the job for a more recognized returning talent. it’s too bad because I think it could’ve been capitalized on character wise and allowed Gresham to have a proper heel turn. It’s apparently common to not be high on the guy but I thought he was a fitting talent for ROH.

I mean I've said it many times before I wouldn't work for TK. But Gresham is also a bit of a tool so call this one a wash lol.
Unreal show though, I'm low key a little more excited for RoH than aew right now. Smaller scale means less need for gimmicky shark cage crap and more great wrestling. Not that I'm anything less than all in on aew still though.
The pacing through FTR/Briscoes was a home run from start to finish. Just one long glorious crescendo.
Crushed Tully is gone through 😥

I'm going to take my little victory lap about this one. Sinclair's quarter 2 financials came out on the 9th. Based on when the sale officially closed, and recorded revenues from sales of assets, we can safely say that Tony Khan paid, at most, $5 million dollars for ROH.

Started the show late, but glad to see Athena win the Women's Title. Gonna have to go back and check out that Top Flight match, Cobb/Dorado, and Blake Christian/AR Fox. Vs. Rush and Dralistico
Only caught the last few minutes of Dalton Castle/Boys Vs. The Embassy, but it looked decent. Live The Embassy's tag finish.
Garcia/Yuta was alright.
Boy, this match is BLOODY! Mark Briscoe took a crazy bump off the top on to the sea of chairs in the floor. Surprised The Briscoes won tbh.
I didn't really pay attention to Joe/Juice since I just assumed Juice was retaining.
Jericho/Claudio was great! Jericho tapping mid swing was awesome!

Apparently Dralistico on his very first night in the company, kicked out on that three to save face…his very first night. These guys don’t do themselves any favors.

Yeah, definitely not paying a subscription to watch weekly TV. Did TK snort too much cocaine again?

Cobb vs. Dorada was okay! It was as fun as it could be within the time they were given.
2.0 vs. Shinobi was fun!
Willow vs. Trish was okay! Again, not much time.
Top Flight vs. Kingdom was good. Would not have had Top Flight win. Feels like an "ROH" show but all the actual "ROH" people are losing.
Blake & AR winning was a shock! Like a complete shock! Post match stuff wasn't needed. I am not into RUSH at all.
Athena vs. Mercedes was good! Feels like TK is getting the belts on the people he wants to hold them to start the TV show.
SIUG vs. STP was good. I didn't like Keith winning by himself at the end. Feels like Shane Taylor should have won that one. Again the actual "ROH" people losing.
Not happy about the Embassy winning. I find Brian Cage as boring as they come.
I'm fine with Wheeler winning. The match was good, but those two never wrestle a "pure rules" style. It's like they do their normal match around the rules.
Briscoes/FTR was pretty good. I am not a fan of FTR at all. I liked how much Jay & Mark bled for this, really sold the violence.
Juice/Joe was okay! No complaints really.
Claudio/Jericho wasn't the best. lol But I loved the finish!!!!!

Watched late, that was a ton of fun. Had a big ol smile on my face the whole show. I'd already re-signed for honor club so quite happy I don't have to worry about some obscure TV channel for weekly roh. I cut the cord years ago.

I had a blast at the show. FTR/Briscoes was so much fun and easily one of the best matches I've seen live.

Just caught the FTR/Briscoes match and while I feel the match was pretty good I think I bought into the Twitter and Reddit chatter about it too much. There were some great spots, though I thought the chain head butt was a really dumb one. I liked it but I wasn’t blown away like I thought I’d be given the praise I saw.
Rest of the card I didn’t care to watch. None of the matches really interested me.
I figured ROH wasn’t getting a TV deal, and Honor Club seemed like the only result. Don’t plan on buying it unless I’m able to watch live PPVs on it eventually.. I don’t really care to watch the weekly ROH show.

Yeah, I won't be paying to watch ROH on my laptop (even if I can send it to my TV), nor will I pay to watch a weekly show that should be free. Pretty sure the suits killed all of TK's asks to get it on regular TV. Oh well.
Pretty clear also that FTR is going back to WWE. They lose to the Acclaimed after which they gave props to the crowd (sort of like a Please Don't Go moment), lose the ROH belts Saturday, will lose the AAA belts eventually, and will most likely lose the IWGP belts in January. If they aren't the ones to beat the Usos, well enjoy the higher payday (maybe) because WWE won't be any different for ya.

So I was someone who had Honor Club before and somehow they are charging the same and giving you way less. You have to wait 90 days to watch ppvs, you used to get first crack at new merch, first crack at tickets, and a 15% discount off the entire store all the time, plus free shipping. No thanks, I’m gonna sit this one out for now.

Briscoes/FTR was one of the best matches I've seen this year and probably my favorite chain match ever. Great shit.
Will pay for Honor Club.

If you do pay for Honor Club, I am thinking about it too, do let me know what the library is like on there. If they have every ROH show on there I might have to get it!

Looks like mostly the same stuff as before but easier to navigate. I renewed like two weeks ago when it secretly relaunched. I just finished my every 3 or 4 month stardom catchup binge and not doing njpw until Jan for wk, so I just put roh back into that rotation for now.
