 This weekend's Winter Warriors tour has a pretty compelling match-up in Roderick Strong vs. Masada. More than just what will happen in the match itself, but rather ROH's openness to who his potential opponents could be. It's a perfect storm, really. For one thing, Roddy's kind of done all there is to do in ROH and, especially after his excellent trilogy with Lethal last year, that match does not need to be repeated as long as Lethal's on top (which will hopefully be a while). Given that Roddy's also basically lapped the roster, it's a pretty slick way to allow ROH to bring in outside talent and, especially that Roddy's probably the absolute best in-ring that he's ever been, the possibilities for wholly fresh and exciting new match-ups is through the roof. My one complaint is that "Roderick vs. Everybody" would make a cooler and more current bit of merch as, being a former Harlem resident, our "Harlem vs. Everybody" shirts had the world copying us for their knock-off bootleg shirts at the moment. Roddy vs. the World sounds cool though, so I'm giving it a pass. So who do you want to see Roderick Strong taking on? I think James Storm is a compelling free agent to see Roddy mash it up with. A real styles clash that I think would make for a exciting match. Chuck Taylor is another interest case of someone who's never wrestled in ROH (to my knowledge) and this would be a perfect way to showcase his actual great wrestling skills instead of just having to be the comic relief character. Fire-Ant or as he competes on the indies as {Spoiler}Orange Cassidy could do some great stuff very different stuff with either of his personas against Roderick him as well. Finally, especially with the Anniversary show coming up, would this perhaps be the perfect time to test the waters of Low-Ki coming back? |

I'd be cool if RoH managed to get the likes of a Mark Haskins over. Truly make it a world challenge rather than "we found these guys without a locked up contract in America".

Wouldn't mind seeing Roddy vs some AAA guys. Pentagon Jr, Angelico or King Cuerno.

Coming in, I thought this was about Roddy Piper's open tryouts for Team Piper on Nitro for the three way, twelve man elimination tag match at Uncensored '97.
