January 17th: We will let the cat out of the bag and announce a grudge match for February 16th in Manhattan. It will be BJ Whitmer vs. Brent Albright in a Tables Are Legal bout. The stipulation is simple enough, tables are legal in this match. This is as a result of the last NYC show, which saw Albright throw Whitmer over the top rope and through a table on the floor. Now Albright is coming to finish the job and Whitmer wants revenge.

a "Tables Are Legal bout"?


is ROH taking the TNA route of taking simple matches and giving them ridiculous names now?

[Joekishi]

So like Whitmer and Albright are sorta like considered "big men" right?

What the f***?! Sydal can wrestle! Did you not see his match against Aries at Arena Warfare? Or are you just bashing Sydal based on the split second clips of him in Wrestling Society X?

what about the "Pinfalls and/or Submissions may be counted anywhere within the general vicinity of the ring or anywhere else in the building" match?

I'm gonna be there live for 2/16. Evny Me. ENVY ME I SAY!!!

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

A "Tables" match is a match that ends when someone goes through a table. A "Tables Are Legal" match simply allows for table spots. There's a difference.

And as for Sydal...he's no mat-wrestling star, but he can certainly hold his own. IMO, he's actually gotten worse since his DG runs...he used to be an incredibly solid, understated high-flyer, but nowadays he's just stealing DG moves (like the FREAKING DEJA VU - sorry, but you don't steal a move that distinctive without some kind of reason) and coming up with some really contrived stuff (shoulder-stand DDT, anyone?). I don't think he outright sucks, but he's not moving in a very good direction, IMO.

So basically that means instead of there being one table spot at the end of the match there are probably going to be several which just lessens the impact of table spots because it'll show that one isn't enough to take a guy out.
