man, I never thought I'd see ROH fans care this much about a wrestler's look. He's not muscular enough to main event, brother! thats pretty much how people act. And now turning on Homicide. Next they'll say AmDrag is too pale.

man, I never thought I'd see ROH fans care this much about a wrestler's look. Surprising to me as well. I'm at least going to wait and see what they DO with him before bitching.

Maybe. I mean I see the apeal and all, but when you first see a really hard lariat or a dude dropped on his head you go "HOLY CRAP! DID YOU SEE THAT GUY GET TOTALLY DROPPED!" but when you see stiff lariats and backdrop drivers like 10 or 15 times during a match it tends to lose it's apeal, for me at least. Other Japanese matches I seem to be fine with though. Tajiri and Muta had an awesome match some time back. But I can't dig into strong style. I have to admit this bugs me as well. If you hit someone with your finisher 4 times in a row, I'd think they should be knocked out. Or if you take their head off 10 times in a row. Yeah but we can't talk. Look at how Americans use lariat/ddt/brainbuster/ etc all as midmatch moves. Plus don't forget you have tards like Arik Cannon who ruin Burning Hammers by having to add five million weapons to it and whatnot

I believe Morishima as a wrestler more than Joe. Joe has jiggly boobs, Morishima does not.Homicide. Which Morishima are you looking at?

Remember when Rob Schneider came on Raw for a Diva Search segment in 05? Before he got along with hosting the segment, or whatever he did, he put on a clip from Duece Bigalow, European Gigolo. After it ended, the crowd was silent. No one laughed, cheered, clapped or booed. Complete silence. Except for one guy. This man was so offended that he actually lost 30 seconds of his life watching a clip from a god-awful Rob Schneider movie's god-awful sequel that he let out a boo. This was not a regular boo, this was a boo full of hatred, that couldn't be verbalized in actual words, but only a boo. This was the kind of boo that let this man release all the angst inside of him. This was a boo that gave this man the greatest sleep of his life later that night.
Right now, I am letting out a Schneider boo for Morishima winning the title.

I'm actually excited about this.
Morishima winning really does open up a lot of doors for ROH. IMO once the Homicide build up and eventual win was executed he had nowhere to go. He had no sub feuds, he had beaten everyone that had sided with Jim Cornette and there was only one real feud for Homicide, once that finished he had nowhere to go.
With Morishima's win ROH could go with a couple of months dominant outsider taking on all comers. Or they could have Nigel McGuiness win it in ROH or NOAH which in turn could lead to a Nigel vs Jimmy Rave feud (With Jimmy winning the title eventually)
Or they could have Homicide win it back.
Or they could have Joe win it only to drop it to someone else later in the show.
Or they could have BJ Whitmer win it *shudder*, BJ winning could lead to a Jimmy Jacobs title run perhaps.
Or they could have KENTA win it and then drop it to Davey Richards or American Dragon.
There are probably more situations that I can't be arsed to list but all are exciting. Also (in my opinion of course) Morishima is a hell of a talent and a great worker. A man his size should not be able to move as well as he does

I see Dragon, when he comes back, winning it in either an ROH ring or in NOAH.

I don't like the idea of an ROH title changing hands outside of ROH.

So, who do they set up as the savior of ROH here, I wonder. Whitmer?

So, who do they set up as the savior of ROH here, I wonder. Whitmer? I guarantee they'll play it up like that in the newswires and stuff leading in to next weekend. I still think they are going with "Joe is the only guy who could beat him, but he's gone!"

I guess they are pushing Whitmer to become top guy soon. Him or Rave, possibly.

Whitmer's shot against Morishima is going to be something along the lines of Lethal getting a shot at Punk. There's a perception that he has a chance just because the champion's leaving.
I myself would love to see a booking showing an increasingly desperate ROH throwing every unbeatable monster on the roster against Morishima. Jimmy Rave, with the nigh-unbeatable Heel Hook. Jimmy Jacobs or Brent Albright in some kind of no-DQ match against the champ. Colt Cabana pulling out all of his dirty brawling tricks. Matt Sydal, the gloryhound and Japanese champion. The No Remorse Corps. Chris Hero, no matter how many ridiculous demands Larry Sweeney makes in exchange. SHINGO, the giant-killing muscleman. Claudio Castagnoli, the oversized high-flyer. Maybe the Briscoes will even get separate shots on a NOAH tour.
Above all, I'm interested in seeing what kind of strategies ROH regulars will be using against Morishima. Morishima is barely less than twice the size of many ROH high-flyers, and and sells enough to make one hell of an underdog story. Damn near any match between him and a smaller wrestlers is going to be very good, especially because each match would be unique in the career of the challenger.

Joe has bitch tits, where they're all hanging down triangularly... yes I've taken the time to notice. Also BJ Whitmer will always be mid-card to me, so him as champion would be like Xavier as champ all over again

I don't know if Whitmer is along the same lines of Jay Lethal, as no one knew who Punk was going to defend against that night in Long Island. I think Whitmer has a better chance than Lethal did in his encounter, probably 60% of beating Morishima next week.

Honestly, if they put on a good match, I couldn't care what they loook like
