I just can't stand the fact that this guy is gonna be touted for weeks (oh god, maybe months) on end as some kind of badass unstoppable monster.
I'm gonna hate this title reign.

But you'd believe Homicide as a badass? But he's skinny. There's the difference. The skinny guy can be a badass, but the fat guy? No way.

But you'd believe Homicide as a badass? Who said Homocide is a badass? And I don't see how Homicide is an unstoppable monster.

Homicide is a bad ass, because he's a scrapper. And he uses a f***ing sharpened fork!

I like Morishima's look, despite the fact that he has the worst haircut I have ever seen in my life (on someone not named Melina). I also think he's a very good choice to win the championship, because it's a great moment and he'll be a huge NOAH star one day and ROH's more "realistic" vibe means it makes perfect sense for such a bad-ass to win a huge match immediately.
It's just... he's so BORING. His acrobatic stuff has no value beyond the shock of seeing a guy his size able to do it, and every match I've seen him perform in (maybe ten or so total, so take my opinion with a grain of salt) he just looked like he was going through the motions with his teensy little moveset. I mean, I don't think it's cool to see someone hit people really hard and drop them on their heads twenty times. Where's the drama? This argument has been made in the past, but there's no difference between popping a crowd doing goofy meaningless flips and popping a crowd by meaninglessly hitting each other as hard as you can. Maybe I just haven't seen enough puro, but Morishima matches are just wham wham wham pin to me... There just doesn't seem to be anything really exciting about the guy.
Also, I'm a Mohammed Yone fan, so I'm a little bitter his partner is becoming such a huge star! *Sigh* no one fears the 'fro enough.

Matt Sydal sucks, and he's a mini AJ Styles. don't even know how that's possible, how he can be working Dragon Gate, while guys like Naoki got released to bring guys like him in, makes me pissed off. *Cries a little on the inside*

You know I hated this when I first read it but it occurred to me that this guy was was world champ in my local indy fed WLW. He defended the title in Japan just like what could happen with the ROH title. He was a good worker from what I saw of him and he did make Rick Steiner look good.

I just say give the big dude a chance. If he underwhelms, then you can be upset. But as of now, he's had two matches in ROH, and both have been said to be pretty good according to live reports. And before he won the title, a lot of people were stoked to have him come in.

No way. it's not that he's fat. it's his face if he had a beard or something he'd look bad ass. but he's not really bad ass for his looks, so i'll never take him seriously. not denying his talent, just that he's jiggly and he looks like a 15 year old myspace fat chick.

I'm not really stoked about the title change either, as Morishima doesn't look that threatening in those pics I saw. I think Cide being in TNA had a bit to do with it, even though Gabe would say otherwise.
I'm really pulling for Whitmer to get the belt on Friday, a transitional run wouldn't be that far fetched.
Either that or the ROH title gets defended in Japan on 3/4 against KENTA, should be damned interested either way even if I am not too keen on the current ROH Champion.

I doubt it. Getting ROH fans to buy more NOAH DVDs is a move in favor of both companies (NOAH gets more exposure, ROH makes a tidy profit off of the NOAH DVDs that they sell for full price more often than ROH DVDs, which are more often than not on some kind of sale).
