Jay's looking good with the belt on his shoulder....
Kinda off topic but I've always hated the current roh logo and belt design, I miss the old roh logo, that minimalistic approach was awesome...

I did like that but the current one has grown on me. Do wish Steen had the UWF version though. Anyway, I'd take a pile of shit on a paper plate strapped to an Ace bandage over the WWE ripoff titles that replaced the UWF one.

I watched the Atlanta "debut" of the show. The last time I've seen ROH TV (aside from hotel rooms and that one time at my parents' house), was on HDNet. So if you don't mind, I have a few questions.

- What's the story behind The Decade?
- Is AJ feuding with Red Dragon, or was it a random match?
- Can someone explain the whole Young Bucks "superkick party" thing? Kevin Kelly isn't going to.
- The version that aired in Atlanta was in 4:3. Is that normal, or did WATL show the "wrong" version?
- Do you get the back brace ads with Jay Lethal? They're pretty awful.
- Is Silas Young actively trying to look like Don Frye? He pulls it off pretty well.

I can try to answer a couple of these. After it was thought that BJ Whitmer had wrestled his last after a neck injury, he encouraged Nigel to give Jimmy Jacobs a world title shot, which Jimmy lost, but BJ returned to compete a little while later and they formed The Decade with Roderick Strong because they were three guys who'd been there for so long (thus their name), targeting guys who had left the company and came back (AJ, Christopher Daniels, Chris Hero, etc) or trying to sway newcomers to the company into the fold (Adam Page, Tadarius Thomas).

Yes, those Jay Lethal ads are ridiculous, but have nothing on these:

From what I've heard, Seleziya Sparx is done as well. She got caught using her tourist passport to work in the US and is banned for 5 years from entering the US. She went to the same crossing too many times and they matched up all her crossings with results found online.

- AJ Styles is not feuding with reDRagon, it was a random match

- The "Superkick Party" is just that The Young Bucks like doing superkicks, so they do a bunch of them in their matches (i think the name is supposed to be a takeoff of Super Dragon's "Violence Party", where he chop and elbow his opponents half to death when they were in the corner)

Out of Jacobs, BJ and Big Rod, which one is the leader? Idk if they established that.

Well BJ has always been meh, Roddy is the best worker of them all but can't talk, so Jimmy by default.

there is no official leader, which is what is leading to their breakup. when they founded The Decade the three of them were equals, but over the past few months Roddy's been making decisions for the group without consulting the other two, such as bringing in Adam Pearce at Death Before Dishonor to face Adam Page and Tadarius Thomas, which has started to annoy Whitmer

Is 2 Jay Briscoe's lucky number?



2 years he hasn’t been pinned! 2 time ROH Champion, only the 2nd 2x ROH World Champion, 2nd time the ROH World Title changed hands in Toronto, Canada.

2 is the theme following Jay Briscoe after he defeated Toronto’s own Michael Elgin to win the ROH World Championship in front of a stunned audience.

Ring of Honor fans in Toronto and the world, saw live on iPPV that the promises both guys made prior to the match were followed through.

Jay Briscoe told Michael Elgin that he hadn’t been pinned in 2 years! He warned him in true Briscoe fashion that he wasn’t buying what Elgin was selling. Jay Briscoe brought that Briscoe ass-whipping style, like only he could! Michael Elgin hell bent on setting records as ROH World Champion was not scared, as most are when Jay Briscoe starts barking.

Both guys at various times had to question if this battle was worth the torture. But in a true testament to the toughness of both, they battled till one man couldn’t get his shoulder up for the 3 count.

Jay Briscoe now embarks on his 2nd reign as ROH World Champion! He is still over 2 years without his shoulders being pinned. That is one of the most impressive stats in professional wrestling history! As most of you reading this know, being undefeated in any solo or even team sport in over 2 years is unheard of.

But Jay Briscoe is not in for an easy ride on his second reign. The more time he remains undefeated, the more pressure builds from within. The work in the gym and training in Sandy Fork, Delaware must become tougher and tougher as the pressure mounts. Now to add defending the ROH World Title to that internal pressure must be as legendary as his current streak!

Michael Elgin isn’t one to sit back and let things happen. He is going to come back stronger, harder and hungrier than ever. The always lurking threat of Adam Cole, combined with The Kingdom is very real. Word in the locker room is that current IWGP Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles is also gearing up to make a run at the ROH World Championship, which something he has never held! With other challengers coming at various angles at all times, Jay Briscoe looks to have his work cut out for him.

Jay Briscoe changed the course of Ring Of Honor history in Toronto, Canada on Saturday September 6, 2014. At the end of that battle, 2 men shook hands and one stood tall! Jay Briscoe’s 2nd ROH World Title reign, combined with his streak of not being pinned looks to be one for the history books! Briscoe has said 2 years is nothing, he plans on staying undefeated and to take the title from him will take an act of god!

Whoever comes at Jay Briscoe better come with everything they have and a whole lot more. Because his 2nd time, could be for a very long time!!

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

Any news on Elgin? He's banned for at least 90 days right? He should shoot video promos, and have ROH show them, so that he stays relevant, my fear is that without ROH and PWG's exposure, he's gonna lose relevance, thereby losing his momentum

Who was the last person to pin Briscoe?

I think Jimmy Jacobs at GBHXI in the Tag Team Title match, SCUM v. Briscoes

Oh wow, was that two years ago already?

That also has the makings for a great Jacobs-Briscoe feud, on top of how much history they already have together, as well as how the Briscoes are the only two who can claim ROH for longer than The Decade has.

Yeah, I can totally see Briscoe-Jacobs at Final Battle.

And then maybe Mark turns on Jay and joins The Decade? Or Mark becomes the one to take it from Jacobs down the line?

If Delirious is long-term booking way ahead of the curve, he's leaving open plenty of great possibilities. I have a feeling 2015 is going to be a great year for ROH.
