That movie was hilarious!!! (In a bad way). It was so fake, there is no way anything like that could happen in real life. The begining was good because it started out with him getting fired from the Marines. tongue

I don't know what's wrong with YOU, I told you I've seen it. OBVIOUSLY I don't watch each and every single freaking show - I stopped after realizing it was bullshit. You don't have to watch Tyson Tomko vs Snitsky to know it's crap, right?
Yes ROH is the best wrestling America has- but that's not saying much.

So true, given what it's up against! I've only just gotten into ROH watching it on The Fight Network in Canada, and seeing "Respect Is Earned" and I agree that they're something, but I'd hardly say it's the best wrestling America has, that's rather bold. They'll never be up to WWE standards and they have such a small audience.

How can you even compare ROH to WWE. The only thing wwe has over roh is that it's more well known that's it.

Nope, WWE has more star power, more money, bigger production values, better promos, better all around entertainers and some wrestlers that are better than some of ROH's. ROH has the best wrestling matches (or rather, used to anyway) for a very specific crowd. Don't fool yourself, WWE is a better entertainment product and makes so much more money. And even if ROH was ''as known'' as WWE, it still wouldn't be more successful. It's the truth.

Hum no, if you believe that you're completely wrong. Why did the WWE rise to the top? Simple: because it's family entertainment. It entertains the kids, the teens and the adults. THAT is why it made so much money, and got the great tv schedule and pay per view deals, because A LOT of people want to see WWE. Not a lot of people want to see ROH. You think the thousands of kids amazed by John Cena beating everybody in ten minutes with the FU would give two shits about Bryan Danielson wrestling KENTA in a stiff, back and forth, 30 minute match? Don't kid yourself, of course not, and the majority of the adults and teens don't have the patience for that either.
The fact of the matter is, most people want to be entertained, not dazzled by incredible wrestling ability.

It took wwe 7 years to get a tv deal it took roh about 4 to 5 years. ROh is starting to make money and get more of a bigger audiance and roh do have ppv deals. The only reason thoes kids like Cena is caused they were only exposed to Cena simple as that. Plus your telling me when thoes kids tune into a wrestling show they don't want wrestling they whant a bunch of idots running around given half ass matches then watching ROH and seeing moty's. You said ,"The fact of the matter is, most people want to be entertained, not dazzled by incredible wrestling ability" are you kidding me you don't call great wrestling entertaining.

Believe it or not, not everyone in the entire world thinks like you. OF COURSE YOU AND ME, WE consider great wrestling great entertainment, but you think the kids who love WWE, the teens who just like the overall action style of the product with the hot babes and cool moves and superstardom, and adults just looking for some action to relax from work want to spend three hours watching GREAT WRESTLING?

NEWSFLASH: Most WWE fans aren't real WRESTLING fans, they just like WWE - it's like a different product from pro wrestling altogether.

Go ahead guy, take a laptop to the next WWE shows and show them some ROH action before they go inside the arena. You think people would give a shit? Of course not. The kids would be wondering about the lack of pyro and fancy lights, and bored to death by back and forth matches with the first ten minutes of mat wrestling.

Welcome to the real world.

Why do you think WWE started having shorter matches and longer angles? Because Vince just said ''hey fuck it, I don't REALLY like wrestling. Let's just do this shit''? NO, because that's what brings in RATINGS. Do you think Morishima merchandise sales would even come close to John Cena's if everyone in the world who knows Cena would suddenly know about Morishima and what a ''great wrestler'' he is? Of course not! Who gives a rat's ass about Mori fucking shima? He's just a fatass in black trunks. What would he sell? Halloween Costumes?
When kids watch Cena, they see sweat bands, hats, t-shirts, action figures, toy cena title belts, rap CD, movie, pendant and John Cena World Life fucking diapers.

Wow! That's really simple! And really arrogant too! You think everybody in the world thinks just like you? Think again. There's a reason why WWE is out hiring The Great Khali instead of American Dragon. Do I like Khali more Danielson? Holy shit no, Danielson is the man. Would I hire Danielson and put the world title on him if I was running the WWE? Fuck no, I'd want to keep the money coming in, not lose ratings.

You can live in your own little reality if you want, since ROH is never going to surpass WWE - and just in case you don't know, they're not even trying to anyway- . I'm pretty confident in my case, since well, I'm totally and absolutely and 100% right, and the reality we live in is proof. Who's on top? WWE. Who's not on top? ROH. Saying that it's because WWE has been around longer is absolute denial. Think about your little logic here - You say that ROH is tons better than WWE, and the sole reason why it hasn't surpassed it is because it hasn't been around for as long as WWE. Well fuck, if ROH, which is LIGHT YEARS ahead from WWE in terms of product like you said, can't surpass it because it hasn't been around as long as WWE, I guess we're just stuck with WWE as the number one company FOREVER. WWE is UNBEATABLE because it's just been around longer. Great LOGIC.

There something else I dissagree with you about first off ROH is just not consint wrestling then another match then another match look at the angles they have now look at The Age of fall also known as Project 161. Which is a great angle going on right now. I never said WWE fans are real wrestling fans they are entertament fans hell they booed kurt angle the first time he wrestled. If I were to take a laptop and show people the wrestling in ROH compared to wwe a lot of them would say wow and I'm watching this wwe. Tell me why at an own WWE show their own audiance would boo even chant TNA. As a product I know WWE is Better but I still know the wrestling in ROH is way way way better then anything wwe can produce. Plus from the begging I've been talking about the wrestling of both compaines not about product and that's always what you bring up.

How often does this happen? How often does it actually matter? That's mostly just smarts having a good time, not fans enraged at the product like with what happened with WCW a lot.

That's what YOU said, and what I said is why ROH wouldn't kill anybody, no matter how long it had been around - because WWE is a better product overall and would still get all the ratings and still get all the money.

If your point was just that the wrestling was better in ROH, I don't see why you kept discussing this if I never said otherwise.

Zentile is right, I mean, WCW didn't get close to beating WWF because they had better wrestlers, they did because they used a similar formula. Simple as that. ROH could be the best wrestling IN THE WORLD, BUT they have dignity and like most great things... not made for mass market.

Jamie Noble, Billy Kidman, Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero, Benoit, Malenko, Lance Storm, Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner, Ultimo Dragon, Shane Helms, Diamond Dallas Page, Alex Wright, Chris Jericho... So many awesome wrestlers and big stars as well.

Wow, this is getting heated, LOL! I agree and disagree with everyone's points that they made. I like ROH, but as far as it being better than WWE, no, NO, it's not, by far, WWE is lightyears ahead of ROH, and ROH has years to catch up, if they can, to WWE. As for WWE fans not being "real wrestling fans" as Zent pointed out, I think that's a load of bullshit! Just cause WWE fans eat, sleep and breath WWE, doesn't mean they ain't "real wrestling fans", they're just more passionate about WWE! Same with TNA fans and ROH fans! There's two sides to every argument, and whether both sides agree or not, they all agree on one thing, a love for everything Pro Wrestling, Period.

I don't think you got what I meant. WWE fans aren't real wrestling fans. They like wrestling because they're watching WWE over something else, but it's not like they watch it because of the great matches- to them, John Cena vs Batista would be a way bigger match than KENTA vs Danielson. They watch it to be entertained, and that's why Vince keeps dishing out huge angles over huge matches, because that's what most people will see.
