It was great. I'm a little bummed Castle lost though. ROH has to put a title on him at some point. They need to take full advantage of him while they still have him

Had mixed feelings about that. I'm ecstatic that Daniels is finally getting his title reign, but ROH (*cough* Delirious *cough) have been pretty bad in booking their younger talent the past few years. Don't really think ROH could afford to give Castle the KOR treatment.

Yeah, I didn't think Daniels would lose that quickly either. They should have saved Castle's shot for another month or two. They better not wait around with him. It looks like they are seating up Cody Rhodes/Daniels next so maybe Cody will win and Castle can get it then

Adam Cole (BAYBAY) got his send off night by being kicked out of the Bullet Club by Omega and replaced with Marty Scrull. We can probably expect Cole in WWE soon, perhaps as soon as the upcoming NXT Takeover

It won't be that soon cause WWE seems to have a policy now of not signing former ROH talents until they've been gone from ROH for at least 90 days. The policy is due to past tampering charges leveled by ROH against WWE according to PWInsider.com.

and they lose Bobby Fish to NXT

They've been losing a healthy bit of talent over the past six-seven months.

Also, I get why they made Cody ROH World Champion, but eh. There really isn't anything that is standing out about Cody right now, outside of his lineage.

Riccobinni and Cabana remind me alot of King and Ross near the end.


Final battle looking well worth that 44.95

I've been pleasantly surprised just how well those two have replaced Kelly and Corino. I loved me some Corino ("RIGHT IN THE DING DING!")

And Castle finally win the belt! Bout fucking time

The Bitcoin bit was funny

Liked 2 decisions by creative. Castle and putting the TV tittle on Slias Young, who is one of my favorites.

But there are 2 i question:

1) Why take the tittle of King? He is way over and the way they it. Smh

2) Why Put the Briscoes over? Everyone with the right mind that knew a damn about wrestling knew the best thing to do was to do the swan song. The "did" him wrong.

1) I'd rather have Young. Plus, Kenny can chase for awhile. I disagree about him being WAY over though. I think he's been fine with it, but I don't see people going nuts.

2) I guess they want to give the full time team the win. And I saw online afterwards that Bully left his boots in the ring (this was during the WOH announcement) so that might be a sign he really is calling it quits. If so, maybe he was doing the old school thing of going out your back

I agree with this...and NOTE TO PROMOTIONS STEALING TOP TALENT. TOP TALENT DOES NOT MEAN HULK HOGAN/KEVIN NASH/and other wrestlers approaching their 50s...

TNA had something a bit different going on, but just like WCW Hogan/Nash/Bischoff injected their poison and things went to hell.

ROH needs to re-sign CM Punk and take some top talent from TNA.

Idk how you can rip that.

They signed 3 of the 10 most recognizable names in the game at the time (4 if you include Savage), and created the single greatest storyline that no only gave them multiple new top card talent, but helps to re-elevate their star homegrown talent to top card level after the signings of those 4, plus Flair sent him down to the mid-card range.

the NWO storyline doesn't work unless it was 3 elite names like those guys were.

It worked.

It was brilliant.

They just blew it with Starcade 97 and kinda lost it from there.

Have you ever read the book 'The Death of WCW' by RD Reynolds? It details exactly how Bischoff and Company killed WCW. Very good read.

No. Damn, inserting into my amazon shopping cart now.

I'm gonna assume Starcade 97 plays a big role?

They really missed the boat with not having a Sting/Goldberg in a rare face/face Franchise v. Streak match at Starcade 98.

I won't say more now due to spoilers and such even though WCW has been dead for over 15 years now. Just typing that makes me depressed. Add in the death of ECW around the same time and........deep breaths........OK.....I fell better now. Off to watch old ECW epoxides on the WWE Network. That always cheers me up!!!
