Davey Richards vs. El Generico for the ROH Title is the main event of Glory by Honor X. Really would like to see Generico win and Steen jump him bring that back (mainly to get the belt on Steen) but, with Eddie/Davey set for Final Battle, it won't happen.

www.rohwrestling.com/news/ring-honor-comes-baltimoreI don't care if it's states away, for whatever reason, I love announcements of ROH going to new places ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Although, I gotta wonder why they'd choose to make it a TV taping, without being sure they'd have a lot of people there. Then again, it's 3 months away, so they have time to make commercials on the TV show for it and all that jazz.

So any idea why the board is down? I use to frequent it all the time until several months ago. Tried to get on it tonight and the entire site was re-designed and I couldn't find a board. I hope they didn't nix it entirely.

I hope they didn't nix it entirely. I think they did nix it completely. On Twitter, someone asked em about it and they said something along the lines of wanting to only use social media outlets for official fan communication, which IMO, is both a good and bad idea.

January 21st in Norfolk, VA at the Scope confirmed. Surely they'll have to curtain it off, that's where WWE run.

I'm mixed on them doing away with the forum. On one hand it was great having hardcore ROH fans to interact with. But on the bad side of that, they were mostly negative to 90% of everything as of late. And if you want news fans, you don't want them to go there and see people talking about how the product mostly sucks now.

Not sure if this qualifies as being RoH news but McGuinness just posted this on twitter:

Not sure if this qualifies as being RoH news but McGuinness just posted this on twitter: By Mike Johnson on 2011-10-22 20:13:44 's Heartland Wrestling Association announced today that Nigel McGuiness will return to the ring at their 11/12 event in Hamilton, Ohio at the Great Miami Event Center. It will be the first in-ring appearance by McGuinness since the summer of 2010, when he was sidelined with an undisclosed health issue. At the time, he was working for TNA as Desmond Wolfe. Following his TNA release, he returned to Ring of Honor, where he serves as one half of their announcing team with Kevin Kelly. Nigel will also host a training camp earlier in the day for $30. Contact for camp is training@hwaonline.com. www.pwinsider.com/article/62719/ ... -.html?p=1

Since this is the general roh thread..
I watched the new tv show online and it was atrocious. I realise the glory days are gone and a company has to evolve but it was like jim cornettes smokey mountain of honor. It was just bad.
I made a post a while ago saying that I believed that roh could break through to the mainstream and at least overtake tna. I dont know if I take that sentiment back but the product I saw wont appeal to pretty much anybody.
The roster is so thin. Granted this is a different time than it once was and the depth was of course greater way back because they werent on tv so they didnt have to hammer guys down to contracts. Guys like morishima could come in and be a part of the roster but jesus it's like dying days ecw.
The production values looked really forced like they were trying to frankly polish a turd. Trying to add slight glitz to the gritty roh product and it made it look worse.
The world champion of the promotion has hardly been a focus in what i've watched and thats just...wow. And when he's been featured its been doing promos.
Listen,I realise you dont want to oversaturate your champion but the way to compensate is to not use him doing promos. Especially when its davey richards. Daveys actually devolped fairly well as a promo guy but I think if you asked him he'd tell you that thats not exactly why people pay to see him.
I read the spoilers for tv tapings and theyre hilarious. There's like 800 ovw guys randomly being added. I suppose I should be happy cause I did complain about the roster being thin and who knows? some of those people might be good but it feels like its becoming a jim cornette vanity project. I half expect an american wolves vignette called"american wolves rock america".
There used to be something really special about ring of honor. It was fun. It wasnt so much like a classic wrestling show as much as a rock concert. People would light their lighters to jimmy jacobs ballad of lacey,throw toliet paper at jimmy rave,chant"Ac slater"at xavier and sing the final countdown with bryan danielson.
I realise that those guys are largely gone and that times change but theres such a lack of that fun spirit that roh used to have in watching that show. It felt like a bad smokey mountain wrestling show. There was some good wrestling on it but it didnt redeem it.
When the first face of your hip wrestling show on the first episode is kevin kelly you know you got problems.

Wow, I'm so stupid should've had my crystal ball out when I posted that I guess because at the time I didn't know who he was gonna be wrestling for and regardless he's still RoH's colour commentator so it still kinda applies to this.
