This Saturday night, Ring of Honor closed their third PPV taping in Chicago Ridge, Illinois with an angle where the debuting faction, The Age of The Fall (Jimmy Jacobs & Necro Butcher & Tyler Black) attacked ROH Tag Team champions The Briscoes following a ladder match. In the ensuing angle, a badly bloodied Jay Briscoe was hung upside down above the ring with Jacobs standing under him in something of a "blood shower" while cutting a promo. One person described it to me as, "the most disgusting horror movie gore angle you could ever envision."
Ring of Honor issued the following announcement on their website in regard to the angle on Sunday evening, announcing it would be cut from the PPV broadcast, likely due to the graphic content:
After discussion among ROH officials today we have decided to pull the footage of Jimmy Jacobs, Tyler Black, Necro Butcher and Lacey (collectively known as The Age Of The Fall) attacking The Briscoes from the third pay-per-view. This does not represent the product ROH wants to promote on television or the conduct expected from ROH's athletes. When you purchase ROH PPV you can expect to see great, athletic wrestling and competitive matches of true skill. ROH "Driven" has several matches that exhibit those qualities. "Driven" will debut this Friday on TVN and the DISH Network. It will debut 9/28 on iN DEMAND. Thank you for your support.

Good move in my opinion. That's a little over the top for ROH.

Meh, we all know it'll be on the DVD anyway. No big deal, IMO.
But yeah, for only their 3rd PPV, this would be a bit too much...

Obo, best answer I can give is, the average fan would think "OMG PR0DJECK 161 Iz OMG!!!1" When ROH should play them as not just another faction. This should only fuel the fire, and add to DVD sales. If you know what I mean.

It's just a storyline. Clearly ROH wants you to think this is sicker than it actually is, and I guess more exciting than it actually is.

Doesn't hurt me since I don't get the damn PPV. Let's just say DirecTV heard from me lol. But, I *might* pick up the DVD.

I'd bet that this airs anyway, and Gabe is just promoting the angle. I don't think it should air on PPV, but the dvd by itself.

If anything this just adds to the angle more. On the next show Jacobs can cut a promo about how ROH is trying to keep them off of PPV.

I can't believe people are still being kayfabed on this angle, of all places here too. Well before I seriously answer that, you know the atmosphere has changed, alot of new members or guys who weren't regulars... ...anyhow, I doubt people are being kayfabed unless you blatantly mean that this angle will be apart of the PPV when it airs. If you don't mean that than anyone with half a brain would second-guess it as a DVD slip. Personally I don't care so long as they don't overthink which way they choose to go and scrap it as anything but a online segment. Because it works better as after-math. Either way, we can all agree this will see the light of day. ROH is behind the angle and future angles and is trying to give us a different view of things where we can't call the shots and rag on it. |

The one thing that gets me interested in ROH and the big angle that ends it.. and the dumb mother ers cut it.. Gabe is a god damn fool Seriously, why don't you try to think? First of all, with Sydal/Delirious getting brought down by Sydal's concussion, the DVD really didn't have anything "exclusive" to help it sell, and this will be a guaranteed selling point. Second of all, if you're a casual fan, do you really want to see someone hung (granted, hog-tied and hung) so soon after Benoit did himself in? As much as I'd like to see this angle on PPV, I'd rather see them not alienate new fans. There's a reason I stick to spam... |
