Wait, why is Bandido vs Baron Black for the ROH Heavyweight Title? Bandido is still technically the champion. He never lost to Gresham and Gresham beat Lethal for the “original” ROH Championship at Final Battle. Seems like they are building to a title vs title match down the line. It seems logical for it to be on a Terminus show but considering he’s also defending the title at GCW, nobody should rule out a Spring Break title for title match heading into the return of the company itself.

Gresham’s match for the show is confirmed to be him vs. Impact’s Josh Alexander for what he calls the ROH Original World Title in a Pure rules match.

I love due various shenanigans/necessity, TNA & ROH each have had 2 recognized World Champions this year. And if NJPW recognized Will's belt, that would be 3 different companies.

I really like the technical fouls thing, I feel like AEW could really incorporate something like this and it's alleviate some of the issues people have with their reffing, will be interesting to see it play out.

Wait so you can kick someone in the nuts once per match without getting disqualified? Seems like a pretty easy loophole to take advantage of.

Referee's discretion but all the refs are cool dad types and Jon Gresham's watching on in horror as dudes are just stomping eachother's balls in and spitting on eachother in every match.

I can't lie, I didn't think "Bill Watts' WCW" was ever going to be something people got excited about.
I'll give it a shot, but this sounds terminally boring.

I think it's a bit like where ROH's "code of honor" stuff seemed novel in the wake of the Attitude era, ECW, and stuff like XPW and IWA that contemporary wrestling companies were shooting for. With how interference-heavy WWE, NJPW, and AEW have been to varying degrees, I imagine this could be a breath of fresh air, but yeah, it might not pan out in practice.

I really didn't mean my previous post to come off as dismissive as it seemed. I really meant it more jokingly, with a really bad pun thrown in. Apologies to everybody if I came off dickish. That said, I can definitely see your point. I personally prefer absolute chaos in my wrestling. The more dudes doing ridiculous shit, the happier I am. I don't care if a ref ever enforces anything other than a finish. But I can see how people with other tastes might get burnt out quickly on that though. Even I have periods here and there where I watch a lot less. I'm curious about this company, and I like Gresham a lot. I just wonder how far they can really take this. It's gonna be a REALLY hard sell to any casual fans, and it's niche even with diehards. But, doing maybe 6-12 shows a year in the right areas, maybe it'll find it's audience.

Gresham was on Talk is Jericho today and was explaining his thoughts with starting this. Based on seeing the rules, I completely understand what he's trying to do and support it.

Srsly tho they're leaving money on the table if the top heel doesn't start his matches off punting the other dude full force in the balls. The Technician Of Torsion.
