Personally, I don't believe that ROH would appeal to a WWE-level market. Most people have short attention spans and zero patience for wrestling matches that go beyond a few minutes and aren't non-stop jam-packed spots or full of gimmicky moves. If guys so much as exchange headlocks, people start crapping all over it. Funny, in the WWE forum someone was just making fun of us for drooling over flippy-floppy indy guys with no psychology. Ah well. The great thing about Cary and Gabe is they understand they've got a niche product and a niche product has to be marketed differently. If they do get a TV show - and I bet they will within five years - it's likely to be a clips show on late nights on one of the smaller channels.

Infuriating, isn't it? To me, what puts a place like ROH apart from something like WWE is that, in ROH, just about every little thing is somehow connected to a bigger picture. Each promo, certain word choices, even certain moves performed in a seemingly innocent exhibition match, can ALL come back and play some role in the future or the development of a feud. Its not like you have to pay attention to every little detail when watching ROH, but it does help the experience.

When I read that, I hear either Paul Heyman, Raven, or the Janitor from Scrubs in my head. Personally, I'm going with the Janitor at this point. Not only does he have access to a squirrel army, he can always use his knife-wrench on his enemies.

I currently have 161 messages. What some might see as a coincidence, I see as a sign. I submit that I've been behind this project, in my sleep, Tyler Durden style. Swerve ending!

Anyone see the "161" sign on ECW last night? Oh, and I ordered my tickets for next Saturday. Can't wait.

I saw that sign, and I made note of it to my friend, who only watches WWE. He asked the significance of it, and I replied "Long story".

Well now I know how to wrap my controller up! ;D
I swear, it would be great if people just went to WWE shows with signs saying "Abused Society" "onesixone" or something of the like. And yet...
