Boy, looking back at cards from years ago and comparing them to now is like getting a PS3 for Christmas to a pair of walkie-talkies that only reach 30ft. ROH is beginning to really stagnate...everybody is so vanilla. Scary, but I may have to say I'd rather see a TNA live show than another ROH. Many great wrestlers are available and have wrestled for ROH(and some that havent)Many didnt like BJ Wittmer, I did and so did the 7 or more buds that came to their shows. Ace Steel was hilarious and great in the ring.Now I havent seen Adam Pearce on the last few results either. With WWE being horrible, TNA depends on the week, and now ROH's roster getting slimmer, what is a fan supposed to do?

True, there are no stars in ROH. I just stopped watching. It's just the same generic pasty indy guys. I hear they are having money problem which is why they couldn't bring in big talent for this show. I wouldn't be shocked if they were out of business by the fall. Too bad.

Personally, I think this show looks great. Especially the top end of the card. The only match I think will be average is the three team tag match.

I dunno what card you guys are looking at, but that looks stacked to me.
I watch WWE, TNA, and ROH all the same so I'm not really biased. ROH is the best wrestling, bar none.
This card will rock, as has all their other events in 2008.

Well here's the problem: what indy guys are out there that aren't so 'vanilla' that ROH could bring in? I agree that the roster as opposed to even a couple years ago isn't as star-studded, but the indy scene isn't exactly brimming with stars nowadays either. Who's out there? Tornado? Injured. Kingston? Has personal issues. Quackenbush? Probably has other bookings.

Did you see the match where Cena/Otron took on the entire RAW roster. ANYONE in ROH has more tlaent than any of those guys Cena and Orton faced. Super Crazy and Hacksaw Jim Dugan on live TV?! Are you nuts? The Dudley Boys, Scott Steiner and The New Age Outlaws in major storylines? Are you nuts? If you mean to say ROH doesn't have senior citizens, then you are correct (sans that crap they do with Bushwacker Luke) but you really are off base in saying they have a "vanilla" line up. Nigel McGuinness anyone? The man is an absolute star and will one day reign in TNA or WWE. Any card with a Danielson/Marifuji is worth the watch and Kevin Steen (as much am not a fan of his) has chrisma and more mic skills that anyone in the "majors" (sans Edge, Cena and JBL). That's all true without me adding in the Morishima factor. He is the best big man in the business now and holds one of the prestigious titles in the entire world. By the way, I'm still laughing that you liked BJ Whitmer and yet you call other wrestlers "vanilla." The man had NO personality whatsoever. Have fun schlakin your yon yons tonight, but I'm off to see some great wrestling.
