IT'S ALIVE!(?): ROH in 2022 Thread

[HSJ]

I know at one point Honor Club was missing a lot of the 2000s ROH shows. I hope they add them at launch. It’s all I want.

Does ROH TV mean it's going to all be Honor Club? Because if so lol.

Good point.

It wasn't the finish I'd have picked but it's fine. It wraps up Jericho's ROH bullshit well. Shit talking the best wrestlers ever etc. only to tap to a giant swing is good work.

After seeing a clip of the botched finish in that Los Ingobernables (I probably butchered that) match, something hit me, and we don't have a General Rasslin thread, so here goes.

Whatever happened to "kicking out" a second or two after the pin? It's a great way to save heat and still lose clean, because it shows there was still fight left but the other guy got squeaked one in.

My interpretation is that there was an issue of Rush and Dralistico going into business for themselves in the match's finish to save face apparently. I guess this is a pattern they do when they put up a stink about losing in Mexico sometimes. By all indications, the kick out at two wasn't planned whatsoever. Perhaps also, the stiff chairshots to the head wasnt in the plan either. There has been reprimand for the stuff in that match (fine and suspension) but not sure if this is storyline or legit.

Modern crowds automatically assume this would be unprofessional and it'd get the wrong kind of heat. That precedent has been set, sadly.
