What is there really to watch in ROH anymore? Hot signees at the beginning of the year like Bandido are just spare bodies anymore, nothing ever happens and the shows anymore are like Filler Episodes of Naruto. Rush, Jeff Cobb, and to a lesser extent Gresham are kinda neat. Alex Shelley coming back is nifty. The Villains are pretty good, even if that's not really "new" exactly, but yeah, outside of that, not a lot, especially since like you say, they haven't been using the guys they have well in many instances, Bandido being a shining example. I'm sure Juice leaving didn't help Lifeblood, but it wasn't like they were setting the world on fire prior, either.

I've said it before the fact that they took Bandido, Mark Haskins, and Tracy William's and made them boring is mind boggling

The tapings sound good, so I'll be checking out their TV over the next month.
As far as their status, it feels like a similar situation to what WWE has been going through in regards to having the talent, but not sure what to do with them. ROH at the beginning of the year, went from not only losing a lot of their top talent, to also having that same talent become their biggest competition. They have lost talent to bigger pocket books before, but this is different as they now have to figure out how to sustain in this new market.
The talent scramble was good, but it was obviously a rushed decision. Why else would they lump together that much talent into two new stables, other than to save money on individual production costs? The transition has been rough, and ROH needs to figure out who they want their stars to be, and quick.

Briscoes cut a hell of a promo building to their match with GOD so I might check that one out when it's on TV. God, that main event is dry, lmao. They're really f***ing their main event scene up with the insistence to have Taven at top. He is NOT the guy they need as champion when they are rebuilding. At another time where the rest of the card is stronger, sure, but not now. At the same time, it's not like putting the belt back on Lethal does anything. He's exhausted all of his possible challengers from every aspect. Literally everything is dictating they just put the title on Mary Scrull at MSG but no, they had to be stupid about it. Everyone said they didn't give it to Scurll because he was leaving soon. It's been 4 months and Marty is still there! He could have had the belt all this time and ROH fans would have actually been happy and when it was time for him to go he could have put over Cobb or Rush or anybody but Matt f'n Taven and they would have drew more than 800 fans to their last ppv! Instead they had to pull a WWE move and say, f*** our fans this is what WE want. In spite of 90% of MSG (myself included) screaming "f*** you, Taven" and infuriating their fan base to the point that many haven't come back.

What if the show was actually called Mass Listeria and Bully Ray infected everyone in the audience
