He's got a lot of potential but TK seems to think if you put someone in good matches it doesn't matter that they are the one taking the L's consistently because the audience will appreciate the work-rate. At the very least they should give him some Dynamite matches where he can beat other credible mid-carders in short matches to build his credibility. Same thing that TK needs to do for Hobbs.
Tony Khan seems to put less stock in wins & losses than he does in an underdog wrestler pushing the more established fighter "to their limits" before losing the match.
It's a weird booking habit that makes match outcomes very predictable, but it's what the core fanbase seems to like.

Wonder if they'll ever decide to void eliminator status when champions change or if they'll run out of challengers with so many having lost eliminator matches. Don't see why the champ can't just have the night off, maybe cut a promo or something but guess TK wants him fighting right away. Would smart choice be too have him but a promo to open then have it as first match? Or match then promo, long as he opens? Let Swerve set the tone for the night. Mox and Hobbs should main especially if they can use it to build something for a future show.

Eliminators only count with the current title holder. Problem is they never mention it.

Just saw that Athena hit 500 days as ROH women's champ. She needs to be Storm's next challenger.


Also wish they would explain why Mercedes just voluntarily chose to go after the TNT title (Even before willow had it:comeon:) instead of the top title. Just doesn't make any sense.


It made sense for Edge to go after the TNT title because Christian had it.

She called her shot during Willow's promo. Their whole feud is just Mone coming in to overshadow her because she almost cost her career.


This is another example of them not explaining things. TK said at the press conference that the rankings don't matter for the midcard titles. So a decorated champion like Mone can come in and call her shot like Edge did.

If she wants to challenge Toni she would have to go through a gauntlet of Sarena Deeb, Mariah May, Virtuosa, and Thunder Rosa. Which would have been crazy TV but that's not the direction they decided to go.

Or she could have just won an eliminator match :heh:
