I am a relatively new ROH fan, so this is just based on what I have seen: Final Battle 2010 was a nice mix of different styles, with some great matches. And Glory by Honor VIII would be a good choice. Ladder War II, Daneilson vs McGuinness in their last ROH match and lots of other good matches.

Edit-Beat to it.

Its sad the TV show won't initially reach all of the markets Sinclair Broadcast Group reaches, but the list seemed like a good starting point, and will hopefully grow in the future. And for now everyone with Internet access will seemingly still get the product (which means streaming to the TV for me). My excitement for this deal stems from the fact that ROH are making a real attempt to grow, and provide an alternative to the "Big 2". How will it turn out? No-one knows, but I would prefer them to atleast try this rather than just stick with their current business model, which like The Final Countdown said isn't working anymore.

While you should not rule out the possibility of it being a real case of mistaken identity (or number in this case), it sounds very much like a prank. I didn't even recognise the story when you posted it, but it is a semi-famous prank call. A clean version (so I dont get warned) can be found here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI1II--x4dY

Holy something. Just looked through the photo's for the Divas match last night and they have several photos of him in plain sight, there obviously not trying to hide the fact (or think we won't notice ). Although honestly if I hadnt read this thread before looking at the photos I probably wouldnt have even realised it was him I'm just wondering how long it will take for him to become involved in some angle, or have someone randomly point it out in a promo.

Bryan should find success on the blue brand. Swagger needs to distance himself from Cole, this wont help. And who cares about Khali.

Just watched the first show which was really good in my opinion. Can't wait till Friday, when I get to watch night 2. Just a question though, did anyone get slightly burnt out towards the tail end of the show. Maybe it's because the matches were longer and built up slower, but I found myself less interested in the matches post Richards/Strong then the ones before. Maybe I need a break instead of watching it all in one go.

Ordered, will be watching the shows when I get a chance during the week. And wont be watching Wrestlemania myself. Looking forward to the shows, and they are both packed with quality matches. And $20 dollars (Or about £12 for me) is tremendous value.

C4 was the first move name that came to mind without saying Moonsault Side-Slam/Uranage. Sorry Kaz. I will remember Flux Capacitor next time...I swear.

"I'm a better wrestler...oops, im sorry...I'm a better entertainer"

Nice. Cant wait for his debut. That top rope C4 was particulally impressive.

It does look similar to that. I hope Husky can pull the gimmick off because I like him, but am already skeptical. His motions looked forced, his Stunner wasnt brilliant, and I despise people who wrestle in street clothes (I even dislike them just wearing a shirt like Big Show has done recently). But like I say, good luck to Husky.

Husky Harris's apparant new Mankind like gimmick in FCW.

I think it's his real name. Quite weird to name someone like that, but I think Eddie Edwards has a nice ring to it. And on a side note there is someone at my college called Matthew Matthews.

Spoilers: Message cut short due to my mobile not liking the text box to type the message, but got my points across. I'm actually quite disappointed Edwards won. I liked Roddy as a champ, and despite him getting some criticism I felt he had a lot left in the tank. Where was the rematch with Davey after Final Battle, it's like that match was forgotten, would have felt better suited to have Richards/Strong at MM and Edwards further down the line. Why have String beat Generico/Cide/Briscoe last night with the stip that they couldn't challenge him for the belt if he won, and then have him lose the title the next night. ROH have pretty much said that these men aren't worthy challengers to the former champ, but will probably get shots at the new one. Everyone talked about Roddy not being a good enough talker to be champion. Surely it can't be just me that thinks Edwards is the same or worse.

Cool to see Shad in a different type of scenario. Seems like a really cool, down to earth guy.

Out of those two it would be Sting, but hoping for more of a suprise instead of something guessable, but doubt we will get that.

The hype is amazing on the WWE site. Absoulutely shocked its happening though. Hyping and accepting someones past is a big deal in the WWE, and I just hope it pays off. Not sure about the name Sin Cara, but I guess it will grow on me. I remember hating Daniel Bryan & Evan Bourne

Ok, maybe poor choice of words by me. In Christians case it doesnt matter. I have been talking to a friend about this (not an internet wrestling fan, just an average WWE viewer) and like me all he remembers about Christian's run on Smackdown (what he was doing before he took time off for the injury) is that he got injured. Maybe internet wrestling fans are different but people I know that just watch casually dont seem to care if Christian was jobbing to Rhodes, because the that is now irrelevant. Adding Christian would make things more exciting because: A) He got injured by ADR. He needs revenge. (And its not like Christian is unpopular and would drag the match down) B) The history of E&C. I think everyone I have spoken to (Internet & Casual fans) want to see Edge vs Christian. And this could be a prelude to it. And I suppose the main reason I want it is something fresh & entertaining at the top. We need more variety at the top of the card and Christian would give that, and undoubtably has the skills to be at the top. And maybe my friends and I are part of the minority but I really dont see the downside to adding Christian.

In my opinion it adds that X-Factor into the match, that bit of unpredictibility. Even if you dont believe Christian will win (Which I believe he could) it then adds unpredictibility on the storylines going forward. If Edge beats Del Rio you could go down 2 routes: Del Rio complaining he didnt get a fair shot OR Christian saying Edge couldnt beat him. Del Rio wins: Edge could blame Christian for the loss OR Christian could blame Edge for him not winning OR they could both continue pursuing the title. Or Christian wins and has finally reached the top and either man can pursue him. I still think based on crowd reaction he isnt there yet. It feels like a forced push at the minute, not someone comfortably sat at the top.

History doesnt really matter when you have been gone for so long. Personally all I remember of Christian before the injury was him getting injured by ADR. Maybe I am alone on this one but I believe what he does now is more important then what he did before getting injured. While Christian doesnt get huge pops, neither does anyone else anymore and I would say Christian gets as much as a pop as either Edge or Del Rio. Also can anyone really expect the World Title match to be the main event? I personally doubt it will even be the co-main event. Miz vs Cena will be the main, and I expect whatever the Undertaker does will be co-main. Also if the arguement is that Christian isnt as big a draw as Edge or Del Rio, do you really think adding Christian would turn fans away? I dont. And is Alberto Del Rio really a solid main eventer. I wouldnt class him much higher on the card then Christian.

Yep, I am. In my post above . After what happened it has to be. And I hope Christian wins, he really deserves a World Championship run. The emotions in that match would be incredible. -Edge against the odds. -Alberto trying to fulfill destiny. -Christian trying to finally reach the top of the WWE mountain. -Edge & Christians friendship (or are the WWE still saying brothers?)
