Makes sense. Since they're all the same person, they know all of their moves. The match will last until the sun explodes. Now, now, perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything.

Listen,im going to defend these guys. I mean I love davey richards. Just look at this photo and tell me he doesn't have intensity in his eyes. What? That's roderick strong...ok..I'll get this one right. and roderick strong...hes great...just look at this photo of him What? Thats eddie edwards? Ok i'll get this one right with a photo of him. That's davey richards? Wh-I give up. Another amusing note to me is how much roderick has changed body wise. Seriously. He went from to My god it's like he has two extremes. Semi chubby and cancer patient. By the end of the year he might be the less charismatic male daizee haze. Also upon googling roderick it's sad that I found a caw of him early on that looked EXACTLY LIKE ANOTHER PICTURE OF HIM THAT CAME UP. Same look in the eyes. Same face. Everything. I'll spoiler it cause it's big but its f***ing freaky man. the picture it looks like: {Spoiler} the caw: But in all seriousness. I do hate that these three keep wrestling each other however,I'm not as dismissive as some of you. I do actually think eddie edwards has a personality. It's just that it's your sterotypical underdog babyface with a big heart personality. But I think he does it really well. I also think that in the ring,he's my favorite out of all 3 of them. He had this match with nigel last year on his retirement tour that i'd encourage anybody to watch. It's really quite damn good. I think that Roderick is probably the weakest of the three with him being the only one out of all three who's promos arent just sometimes weak...but so bad I can't watch them. Seriously. They're horrendous. I don't think he's found his niche. I dont even know if he has one. His voice is too whiny and hes too punchable looking to be a tough guy and he hasn't shown much personality as a cocky heel. I think he was at his best as a silent dude who just broke peoples backs though. I admit though there's something about him that's repellant. He looks so sleazy and he has the most vacant expressions. I think that could perhaps be used but god damn he's flawed. As far as davey,I think some of the criticism of him is pretty unjustified. He does have flaws dont get me wrong. I mean the guy used to decide he was going to retire every few months and take it back. Plus..he doesn't really seem to care about ring of honor. But I dont think the problem is him so much as a performer. People always rag on the guy but until recently with the backlash...he always has gotten pretty damn good reactions. He's one of the very few people on the independents who people seem to actually care about and want to see. I know far more davey richards fans than I know ultramantis black fans. He's a name. People don't just care about kevin steen winning the roh title. They want him to beat davey to do it. Plus...he's a pretty good wrestler. I think in a company that was better booked davey and eddie could really be assets to it. Even possibly roderick.

This three way feud needs to stop. I can't really say anymore about it than that, at this point. And I agree that Richards doesn't really seem to care about ROH all that much-he barely defends the belt. He would miss the birth of his children to work a New Japan show. Why then, is HE the guy that they're using as the face of the company?

There's nothing wrong with Davey doing NJPW bookings. That kind of logic justifies Cena being shoved down our throats.
The biggest problem with Davey is after all the great matches he had, he's had ZERO highly-regarded MOTYC title defense. It's been NINE MONTHS.

My god it's like he has two extremes. Semi chubby and cancer patient. By the end of the year he might be the less charismatic male daizee haze. What are you going on about? In what universe does Roderick look like a cancer patient?

Has that guy in the middle got Samoa Joe's gimmick (I seem to remember a picture of him with a towel and pointing exactly like that).

I listened to a Review a Wai podcast episode and that week they did Micro Championship Wrestling. It was their first show, and they were commenting on Roderick Strong playing this jock university student, and they said Roddy fit that role perfectly, and everything about him said douchebag heel. Why don't they go that direction in ROH, to help make him stand out. It is kinda funny though that they all pretty much had the same pose.

Is that your work? Because that isn't half bad. But in all seriousness, Richards is the only one of the three that I feel could jump to the flashier WWE and make a reasonable account of himself, as he seems to connect with audiences better than the other two. He'd still need a lot of work in the promo department, but the potential is there.

To be fair,they've done a pretty shitty job of it. Though as I said,who knows of roddy is capable of doing it anyway.

The match would have been more interesting had they:
1. Not wrestled each other so much in singles matches. 2. Done it during Strong's title run before the other 2 had the title. At least there would be an aura of the unpredictable happening.

Okay seriously I do like all three guys. But they really need to move on from this series. You can only diver the same match so much and they've been doing combinations of these guys for over a year now. ROH is fine. They're pushing quite a few guys who don't conform to this style. Elgin, Cole, and The Briscoes are enough reason alone for me to keep with it right now. My issue with ROH is the talent in the last couple years has really taken a nosedive. Now this is just my opinion, but there was a period where ROH could book whatever indy talent they want not just because of being able to offer more money, but they could get tours of Japan through ROH. Now with ROH having exclusive contracts, and other indy feds making connections overseas, I feel like ROH isn't as attractive of a landing spot as it used to be. I know Adam Cole was pretty upset that he couldn't be apart of Cage of Death due to it being an ippv. But as I've said in the past, ever since Gabe tried the gang warfare I've lost a lot of interest in ROH and have continued to do so more and more. Age of the Fall was a huge bust for them, IMO they completely ruined Tyler Black chasing Aries in waiting WAY too long to pull the trigger, I hated Adam Pearce's booking, and while Delirious has been better than Pearce, he hasn't been a great booker. And I could also talk about the wrestling school, but that's for another topic. ROH just needs to re-evaluate their roster, change a few things up (I love Jim Cornette, but I feel some of his ideas are way too outdated as well), and start fresh.
