  • Ring of Honor, an independent wrestling company that gets bashed for absolutely no reason at all.

    By lightning_kf, Jul 16, 2010
    For most of 2007, I've been hearing people rave about this promotion Ring of Honor. So, I checked a few of the matches out and..........WOW. How could I have missed them for all of this time, man? Here are some of the matches I have seen:



    - Samoa Joe and Jushin "Thunder" Liger Vs Low Ki and Brian Danielson.



    - Ricky Reyes Vs Puma



    - Scramble Steel Cage Match



    - Jimmy Jacobs Vs B.J Whitmer (Steel Cage Match)



    - Nigel McGuinness Vs Marafuji (GHC World Title Match) - Pro Wrestling NOAH's most prestigious title being defended outside of Japan for the first time ever.



    - Christopher Daniels Vs Matt Hardy (shocking, isn't it? Matt was in ROH)



    And all of them were great. Not only that, the list of people who made appearances in ROH are something else. Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Abdullah The Butcher, Christian, Terry Funk, Paul Bearer, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Great Muta, Bobby Heenan, Dusty Rhodes, James Cornette, Eddie Guerrero. Simply put, the best of the best have been in ROH for a small period of time. Cool.



    Now comes to the point of this review: why in the blue hell do fans, TNA fans mind you, bash the living hell out of Ring of Honor? Why? I see no reason to bash them, and these are the reasons why:



    - They don't have a TV deal.

    - ROH is nothing more than a spotfest.



    That's it? That's the reason why they say Ring of Honor sucks????? Please.



    - TNA fans are just scared of the fact that their company is not doing well AT ALL.



    - They constantly brag about "They Are Wrestling" yet they have to rehash old gimmicks from the WWE, flood their roster with other wrestlers just to get ratings (which they aren't getting) and other stuff.



    - Their storylines are doing very badly, yet they talk crap about ROH not having storylines.



    - TNA is turning into their own WWE, with the fact that they suspended one of their wrestlers for wearing an ROH shirt during one of their house shows.



    - WWF, WCW, ECW (I think), NJPW, AJPW, and many other promotions. All of these have one thing in common. Various titles from other promotions have been defended all over the world. If TNA is "wrestling," why can't they do the same? Or better yet, have their titles defended overseas? Oh wait, their profits are bad, VERY bad. I rest my case.



    I can go on and on with some of the reasons why TNA is going down, and they fear Ring of Honor, but I won't. Honestly, if you are a real wrestling fan, you will like any promotion no matter what TV channel they're on or anything like that.

    Earlier in the show Bryan and Nigel picked their teams. Team Danielson: Bryan Danielson, Matt Sydal, Austin Aries, and Jay Briscoe. Team McGuinness: Nigel McGuinnes, Delirious, Roderick Strong, and Mark Briscoe. When team Nigel was coming down to the ring Delirious got into it with Strong.

    WOW this was an amazing match. Starts off with Claudio doing"HEY" and Generico with "OLE'". Good spots through out the match. Claudio hit a Ricola bomb for the win. WINNER Claudio Castagnoli.



    This was a very good show. If you can get only one night of the Race to The Top Tournament you should get this one. I liked the $10,00 Tag Team Challenge match a lot and I think they should bring this back. I liked all the matches and they had a funny segment with Bryan Danielson and Nigel Mcguinness. My only problem was the promos. They were really weird effects and looked bad. Overall this was a very good show get this with night 1.

  • A promotion that is arguably the best in the entire wrestling business right now

    10
    By MagnusDonaldson, Jun 14, 2007
    It seems that a lot of people don't appreciate this small, young promotion. Maybe it's because WWE or TNA have poisoned their minds and see them as inferior because they are smaller, have women that can wrestle and don't run angles that make no sense. However, if wrestling promotion's sizes were decided by the quality of the in-ring product, then ROH would be head and shoulders above the rest. You won't get near naked women stripteasing here, you won't have your intelligence insulted like other wrestling promotions do, and you won't have stupid angles where the owner makes himself the focus of the company. Quite frankly, if you bash Ring of Honor without seeing the truly clasic matches that have turned this company from performring in front of a few hundered fans into running on PPV, then you can't call this company bad. But maybe some fans have too short of an attention span to appreciate good pro wrestling. And I'm sure they are the one's bashing the product. But when it gets down to it, TNA and WWE can't touch this company in terms of good wrestling, and in a few years time I'm sure loads more people will be talking about this small company.moreless
