Let's look at a brighter picture. At least Joey and Candice aren't ROH talents. We might get another Young Bucks reign.

Lame. I like Strong well enough but I just don't buy him as the top champion. Why? He can work. He's an underrated speaker, and he's a proven talent with name value.

He's bland looking, can't talk great and doesn't have a describable hook. He's the guy indy promotions hire to make people look good, not the guy to be the champion of the promotion.

I know I'd be watching to see who can shut him up and knock him down several pegs.

To me, Strong always comes off as the guy that should be chasing belts, not actually winning them. He's a great wrestler and has improved quite a bit as far as his mic work is concerned over the past couple of years but I have no interest in him being the face of a promotion.

I for one welcome our new handsome, shitty little boots wearing, Backbreaker-ing overlord. I like "generic" wrestlers who compensate for their so-called "bland" look with either amazing ring skill or physical charisma.

God damn you Sinclair, god damn you!!!! PWG is where these two truly found themselves as characters and only made their already excellent ring work even better. It's crazy how soon after their debuts that they became such cornerstones of the company. Hopefully this won't be the end of them both in PWG and I would hate to think it is. One day, one day. Young Bucks are the only Mount Rushmore members left. Mount Rushmore of Wrestling is no more Sinclair though... Why are they doing this when this happened to them by TNA so many years back? It's just terrible irony and a move they should not use on other companies, especially PWG.

PWG is where these two truly found themselves as characters... not really. Cole's heel work is a rehash of his time in CZW, and O'Reilly really didn't have much of a character in PWG (other than Sleazy Kyle, which came from Team Statutory, which was based off Joey Ryan's character). his character has really come out of teaming with Bobby Fish as reDRagon. again not really. Cole didn't become important until BOLA 2012, which was a year after their debut, and O'Reilly didn't really become important until BOLA 2013. and even then O'Reilly wasn't anywhere close to be the guy in PWG, he was more in the category that Davey Richards was after the 2006 BOLA, where he was at the top of the mid-card/bottom of the main event. O'Reilly has only been a cornerstone of the company since winning the title in May. there are differences between the TNA situation and this: 1. TNA pulled everyone, ROH is only pulling their top guys (who are getting paid way more than everyone else) 2. they are pulling their top guys to minimize the chances of them getting hurt. its already been reported a while back that one of the key factors in the decision of whether or not to pull their workers was because wrestlers have gotten injured working other promotions (including PWG) and didn't report it right away. 3. its was also reported that the decision to pull the wrestlers wasn't coming from ROH, but from Sinclair. TNA made the choice to pull their contracted wrestlers, not Panda Energy.

Preordered BCS just now.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on with RoH and PWG but it sucks that Fish and Kyle can't continue at PWG. Especially Fish, he was just getting started there.
Luckily they have a pretty strong roster to pull from and maybe they can work some deals with Lucha Underground talent.

Aren't most of the guys getting pulled also working for NJPW? I think Elgin and Ciampa are the only ones not doing that and it would shock me if that changes soon.

Where the hell did Roddy's other shitty little boot go during that match? It went up for auction. I already bid $6000 on it, but Nasser beat me by $3.50.

were they chanting "Go Go ACH" or "Go Home ACH"? cause it sounded like go home
and Hero's really got to start hitting the gym, or go back to wrestling covered up. your stomach shouldn't be jiggling from kicking someone in the head.

I was at a show Hero was on in Essex a few weeks ago, and it didn't even draw 100 people. Sadly he's less of a draw now than he was a year ago when he left developmental.
