ROH Glory by Honor IX Results vom 11.09.2010

[Y2R-KO]

Das Bild ist so hammer.

Einfach ein extrem perverser Einfall... ansonsten scheint der iPPV nicht gerade der Beste gewesen zu sein. Der Main Event ging nichtmal 20 Minuten womit das letzte Match von Tyler nicht wirklich toll war. Tag Team Match war dagegen wohl sehr gut und Double Chain Match erneut absolut brutal.

Nuja von der Matchqualität der Hauptmatches war wohl DBD besser (was an der Messlatte Davey vs. Tyler fast schon zu erwarten war) aber auch n 15 Minuten Main Event kann durchaus solide bis gut sein.

- Homicide kam sehr spät erst in der Halle an, da man verhindern wollte, dass Fans sein Auftauchen mitbekommen
- Homicide sagte in einer Promo (die man nicht mehr während des iPPVs sah) dass er wieder zurück sei um seinen "Ring Of Homicide 187 World Title" zurückzuholen und er versprach, dass er jeden "gringo" ummähen werde der ihn davon abhalte, dass er im Dezember bei Final Battle 2010 sein World Title Match kriege
- ROH musste einige 100e an Zuschauern an der Tür zurückweisen wegen Platzmangel - Leute mit gebuchten Tickets die durch eine Fehlplanung ihren Platz nicht mehr bekamen erhielten zwischen 40-60ß US-Dollar als Entschädigung zurück (mehr als der normale Ticketpreis)
- man geht davon aus, dass El Generico eine kleine Auszeit nehmen wird
- ROH hat sich entschuldigt für die längeren Bildausfälle während des Live Feeds - es lag an einem Problem bei GFL -> das Double Chain Match wurde (als man die Probleme realisierte) kurzfristig länger improvisiert
- der Wiederholungsfeed kann ab sofort jederzeit auf GFL.tv angesehen werden

[Adios]

Das Black seinen Titel verliert, war vorher schon klar. Warum das Match nur um die 15 Min geht, hätte ich nicht gedacht... Lag es evtl daran, dass man das Chain Match in die Länge zog und dadruch zum Ende hin die Zeit fehlte?

[Silk]

Das kann durchaus sein, dass Chain Match war ja quasi "unnötig" aufgebläht durch den Stromausfall bei GFL.

GO Fight Live hat jetzt ein offizielles Statement bezüglich der technischen Störungen beim iPPV veröffentlicht.

Thank you for purchasing the Ring of Honor ‘Glory by Honor IX’ show. GoFightLive.tv was the broadcaster of this event. As you know, we experienced technical difficulties during the show that caused the live stream to halt and at times become jittery, causing our viewers to miss some of the action. These technical problems were caused by a new piece of hardware we introduced into our broadcast system.

We have an initial version of the show available now. We are working to insert the missing video portion and our goal is to provide you with a complete video by Wednesday.

Ring of Honor produces high quality events, and this technical issue was GoFightLive’s problem alone, not ROH’s. We are working to ensure that this problem never occurs again at any GoFightLive event by analyzing and fixing the faulty piece of hardware.

Don't count ROH out just yet

Saturday night's big Ring of Honor show from New York City was newsworthy for several reasons. A new ROH champion was crowned. An ROH legend returned. And two of the best duos of our generation clashed in a tag team dream match for the ages.

But you probably won't find the biggest headline coming out of Glory by Honor IX in any report of the show. It is this: Ring of Honor is alive and well - at least in the hearts of wrestling fans.

Several recent developments in ROH have left some observers wondering if the Philadelphia-based wrestling promotion may have its days numbered. One of the company's top attractions, Tyler Black, signed a contract to join WWE while still wearing the ROH championship. Davey Richards, considered by many the most exciting performer on the independent wrestling scene, announced his intention to retire at the end of the year. And the company's well-respected booker, Adam Pearce, was fired after clashing with ROH management over the directions of their business model.

With something of a dearth of obvious candidates to fill the vacancies at the top of cards, and concerns that the company's business is not growing as fast as it should, some have wondered if ROH owner Cary Silkin may be forced to shutter the company doors.

But if fans were looking for reasons to be optimistic about ROH's future, they got one the moment they arrived in front of the Manhattan Center Saturday night. Unfortunately, some of them did not get any further than that.

So packed was the 1,200-seat Grand Ballroom that officials with the fire marshal’s office were forced to turn away ticket-carrying fans.

That development may have boded badly for the disappointed fans (who, incidentally, were taken care of by apologetic ROH officials) but it was a positive sign for a company that desperately needed a win. Clearly, fans were interested in what Ring of Honor had to offer in 2010. They would not be disappointed.

The jam-packed crowd was red hot for throughout the entire night, and for good reason. ROH put on one of the best events of any wrestling company this year.

Among the highlights of Glory by Honor, which was also streamed live as an Internet exclusive pay-per-view courtesy of gofightlive.tv: ROH's most personal feud of 2010 reached a bloody climax when Colt Cabana & El Generico defeated Kevin Steen & Steve Corino. The biggest jaw-dropper came after the bout, when Generico was unmasked by his former partner, Steen.

The tandem once known as The World's Greatest Tag Team, Shelton Benjamin and Charley Haas, got a heroes' reception for their dream match against Claudio Castagnoli & Shelton Benjamin. The Kings of Wrestling came out victorious, but the former WWE tag team champs left the ring feeling like winners when the ROH fans implored them to "Please come back!"

And in the main event, Roderick Strong defeated the WWE-bound Tyler Black to capture the ROH championship. The great Terry Funk donned the zebra stripes to count the fall.

As if that wasn't enough, Homicide, having recently been exiled from TNA, returned to ROH after the main event to challenge Strong for his title at a future show. Another big piece of news came when Jim Cornette announced that Richards had signed a new contract with ROH, and would be challenging for the championship at December's "Final Battle."

With the ROH championship around the waist of a talented and deserving company veteran, a former ROH headliner returning, a top contender sticking around, and a top-flight tag team making its first of what fans hope will be regular appearances, Ring of Honor suddenly looks in considerably better shape than it did just 24 hours ago.

But there is more work to be done, for sure. ROH management needs to strike while the iron is hot and capitalize on the audible buzz that the company has generating in recent days. That means parlaying the company’s strong reputation among its fans into lucrative business opportunities, whether they be in the form of new advertising revenue on its HDNet program, further international television deals, or even a live televised pay per view event. ROH, which still relies largely on the same business model of selling videos of its live shows, desperately needs to expand into new ways of generating revenue. The Internet pay per view concept is a good start.

If ROH proved nothing else Saturday night, it is that it remains a relevant, and essential part of the American wrestling landscape. With WWE trying to cater to the masses, and TNA too often chasing its own tale, ROH remains the most viable alternative for wrestling fans looking for exciting action, compelling stories, captivating personalities, and solid production values.

For the good of the sport of wrestling, it is imperative that ROH not only survives, but thrives.
